Hi @Matthew-Howlett ,

No the m500 currently has a BMP388.

Little more detail, we've validated with FrSky X8R reciever and Taranis X7 transmitter with the following setup:

We have a new cable about to come out to assist with this wiring as well:
https://docs.modalai.com/cable-datasheets/#mcbl-00018

The official product documentation is located at https://docs.modalai.com/

The purpose of this forum is to supplement that documentation, and to update the official docs when we find information missing.

Hi @rapit ,

OK we validated that a USB3 device can show up, here's a "guide", but there's no new info really, just an example: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-as-usb-host/

Hi @gauravshukla914,

If voxl-vision-px4 is setup for VOA it will connect to the stereo and 'take over', if that's the case can you try the following before launching?

systemctl stop voxl-vision-px4

FYI for the future, the MPA architecture (https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/modal-pipe-architecture) will provide 'fan out' and allow multiple clients for a given camera.

@Gaurav-Borade , we have one in the works that should be ready shortly, I'll send a link once we get it posted!

Hi @gauravshukla914 ,

Our flight controller is a little unique in that it can't be powered off USB so yes, it will lose power and connection during the standard process. (The reason being our Flight Controller shares the 5V rail with the companion computer and 500mA off USB won't suffice!)

To get around this, we have a tool that has a user guide here:
https://docs.modalai.com/flight-core-pwm-esc-calibration/

This allows you to keep the battery connected during the ESC calibration process.

Hi @gauravshukla914 ,

Thanks for the help with this. We've released a new beta version of the voxl-hal3-tof-cam-ros that supports auto detection of ToF and defaults the persist.camera.modalai.tof setting properly.

It will be in out next voxl-suite release, but is available from our dev channel here if you are interested in using this link

The updated readme is here.

Thanks!

Hi @gauravshukla914 let us take a look at this and get some info for you. Nice pictures, I always love seeing these

Hi @gauravshukla914 ,

This looks to be supported in a new feature that is in our 'beta' system image release version 3.2.0 (available at developer.modalai.com for download).

It requires an unreleased version of voxl-hal3-tof-cam-ros, see here
https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/ros/voxl-hal3-tof-cam-ros/-/blob/release/v0.0.5/source/launch/tof.launch#L31

We haven't merged this into a release yet, so we don't have a packaged release for this, but you could build from source if needed until then if you're up to try it out.

Hi @Matthew-Howlett ,

No the m500 currently has a BMP388.

Hi @Jonathan-Jeff ,

Theoretically yes but there are limitations.

Here's some information that might help in showing some possible options: https://docs.modalai.com/image-sensors/

Hi @Pavel-Ardashov ,

Can you please describe your setup? Is the flight deck attached to a custom vehicle? How is it mounted?

I watched the video and saw the data rising. I couldn't tell, are the props actually moving? Or is the vehicle totally static?

I didn't know Docker had this feature, so thanks for that tip!

Docker built on VOXL is running at version 1.9.0 and from some articles I read it looks like multistage build started in 17.06 (https://docs.docker.com/engine/release-notes/prior-releases/)

So I don't believe this is supported.

No problem at all, I'll get our docs updated so it's more clear, definitely not a rookie mistake, we should call it out!

Hi @wilkinsaf ,

On VOXL Flight there are two SD card slots actually, can you verify you are using the one at the "pointy" end?

Although the following link is Flight Core, it can be used as reference since that portion of VOXL Flight is the same:

https://docs.modalai.com/flight-core-datasheets-connectors/#flight-core-board-bottom

There's a 32GB size limit as well for PX4 (perhaps Nuttx limit, the RTOS under PX4)

Hi @mrawding ,

Not much just right now but in the next week or two we'll have some public facing camera code up.

Hi @Artur ,

There's a mechanism to attempt to talk via UART from VOXL to the STM32, please see here: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-vision-px4-nuttx-shell/

Typically, more heat than normal could be a HW fault, where current is leaking through some "undesired" path.....

Hi @Ansel-Misfeldt ,

I've not personally tried this device (LiDAR Lite v3), but the I2C interface on the Flight Core's J13 is the "same" as VOXL-Flight's J1011.

When you are using it on VOXL-Flight, what connector are you using?

This looks to be loaded with the distance_sensordrivers, which are enabled by default:

https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/blob/release/1.12/boards/modalai/fc-v1/default.cmake#L24

Have you attempted starting via NSH command line? It appears to be ll40ls start -X from here

@Cool-Karp ,

Congrats on your success! We are all here to learn so if you have any features you find missing that you found on another development platform please let us know!

Thanks
