@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

1. Which Microhard units do you recommend for reliable integration with the VOXL m500 (both for the air unit and the ground unit)?

2. Could you provide a complete wiring map or diagram showing how to physically connect the Microhard modem to the VOXL board, including power supply details and which ports to use?

   • This will help us avoid trial-and-error and ensure correct setup.

3. Do you provide flash files or firmware for the Microhard air and ground units that are configured to work with the m500 out of the box?

   • If not, can you supply support through what’s needed to configure both units manually?

4. Do you provide documentation that explains how to access and configure the Microhard units via their IP interfaces?
   Specifically, we’re looking for a step-by-step guide (PDF or otherwise) that shows how to:

• Enter the Microhard configuration interface (e.g., IP address access)
• Set communication parameters and network settings
• Pair the air and ground units to establish a working link

@claw what does lsusb report?

@Randy-Mackay Do you know which version of the VOXL SDK is being used? We have recently transitioned over from voxl-qvio-server to voxl-openvins-server for VIO. OpenVINS is open source, so we have been investing our time there. Qvio is closed source and we can't really update the internals.

@victochen We are announcing products that will address this next week at Xponential, stay tuned!

@astro_phil what do you mean by position control? How are you achieving your position estimate? If it's VIO, we achieve <1cm drift in position hold on our drone platforms

https://docs.modalai.com/flying-with-vio/#troubleshooting-vio

@inteous yes, there are a number of considerations

Please see:
https://docs.modalai.com/configure-extrinsics/
https://docs.modalai.com/calibrate-cameras/

@swickliff can you help with the config you are trying to achieve? we can review and see if it's possible first

Do the cameras have 3-axis stabilization?
No

Maximum resolution of video streaming?
4k video recording is supported

Any specific information related onboard processing?
VOXL 2 is the onboard computing, this may be helpful https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-feature-matrix/

@FIREBIRD Sure, reach out at https://modalai.com/contact

Yes, it's supported in production volumes
