Is there a way to access the kernel serial debug port on M0090? It seems there are FTDI components but they are not populated.

@tahawaru Here is some documentation on configuring VIO https://docs.modalai.com/flying-with-vio/

PX4 does not currently handle GPS and VIO concurrently. It is something that we have worked with the PX4 developers on for more than 2 years.

It's a complicated problem though that we keep working to improve. To start experimenting, and hopefully helping to develop that feature, read through PX4's documentation on EKF2.

To debug VIO, look to this area of the documentation specifically https://docs.modalai.com/flying-with-vio/#troubleshooting-vio

@Jetson-Nano Looks like MPC_POS_MODE is needed as well per the documentation https://docs.px4.io/main/en/computer_vision/collision_prevention.html

voxl-mapper has been working on VOXL 2 for about a year. It should work out of the box on a Starling.

What you may be referring to is better documentation for using with stereo sensors instead of TOF sensors, but in general the voxl-mapper package is working.

This video shows how it works - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqlSKRP8prc&ab_channel=ModalAI

When making a request for support, there are some key pieces of information that really help speed up the support process. Please try to include the following when making a request:

• What hardware are you using? If you have specific SKU or serial number, that is also helpful
• What version of software are you using? voxl-version is very helpful for determining software version.
• How have you configured the software? What is the output of voxl-inspect-services
• Do you have any logs? Uploading PX4 logs to https://logs.px4.io can be very helpful. See details on PX4 logs here
• Can you share pictures of your setup?
• Have you looked at the source code? If so, can you point to any potential issues?

If you see the sensor in the portal, you have the sensor configured properly.

By fails to calibrate, are you using voxl-camera-calibration ?

if you viewed the data through voxl-portal, it would already be rotated properly.

The Starling's extrinsic parameters can be found here, which should help you configure your URDF

@Amir-Avni On VOXL 2, voxl-mapper runs < 10% of CPU in typical configurations, on VOXL 1 < 30% of CPU

@Sanket-Shah voxl-inspect-cam can be used to verify it's working and see related stats. You need a GUI of some kind to actually view the image, which requires a network

@tiralonghipol if you viewed the data through voxl-portal, it would already be rotated properly. It's not clear which viewer you are using for the data.

The Starling's extrinsic parameters can be found here, which should help you configure your tools

@cegeyer that does seem suspicious

Here's the code for cpu-monitor https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-cpu-monitor/-/blob/master/server/voxl-cpu-monitor.c?ref_type=heads

@Moderator We will ask about QGC configuration of the ESCs.

@will-huang-oksi you should connect to QGC with a WiFi connection. The "U" USB-C port is for ADB, and not QGC

https://docs.modalai.com/qgc-wifi/

ETA: It looks like you're connected to QGC via the network already, so you can ignore the above. That message likely means that you can only perform the calibration via command line. Here are the calibration instructions

There is some risk in extending sensors, see this doc

This is the extension flex for the Panasonic connectors: https://docs.modalai.com/M0036/

This should extend the TOF connection: https://docs.modalai.com/M0178/

the micro-coax sensors (M0161 and M0166) are going to be much easier to mount up front. TOF has no micro-coax implementation though

@george-kollamkulam Here's voxl-logger https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-logger/ which you can use to record data. if you need to access the data real-time, that's a good source code starting point for how to capture the data into your application

@sssagara IBSS is not something we have any experience with. As you see, it is an open source driver. You can also use different wifi adapters

@nicksheldon

Hadron 640R support is in beta. You can request a custom invoice for the adapter at https://modalai.com/contact

We have no experience with Herelink. The modems we have support for MVX, Doodle Labs, Cellular and Wifi

You cannot use HD Zero to send video from VOXL 2

The software is all open, so if you need to send custom gimbal commands you may need to update the software

VIO cameras need to be fixed mounted with the VOXL 2 and cannot be on a gimbal

@chenzhe that is a Sentinel, you can find the 3D models here: https://docs.modalai.com/sentinel-functional-description/#sentinel-3d-step

@wolde-cosgrove there is a lot of documentation on this topic here: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-px4/

We plan to make a version available with a thermal camera in the summer of 2025. It may be subject to export controls
