Thank you for your help guys. I eventually reflashed the VOXL2 and it is working fine!

I suppose, my issue with the voxl-vision-hub is same as reported in

Hi i've faced the same issue! Was wondering where voxl-vision-hub went ^^

How can we get it back on the system? @Zachary-Lowell-0

As when I run voxl-inspect-services , it doesn't show voxl-vision-hub service and its status.

@Zachary-Lowell-0 said in Issue with ros-melodic-cv-bridge and voxl-vision-hub conflict on VOXL2:

if you are installing your vision_opencv into sudo, then the conflicts will wipe out a ton of MPA and SDK programs. This is highly recommended NOT to be done. Instead either use docker, or leverage the package as a third party in a virtual environment or something along that nature.

voxl-vision-hub should be on target from the SDK installation:

voxl2:/$ sudo apt-get install voxl-vision-hub
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
voxl-vision-hub is already the newest version (1.7.3).
voxl-vision-hub set to manually installed.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 37 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.

However, most likely had the deb wiped or reconfigured when installing the opencv you were trying to leverage. Provided you guys are on sdk 1.1.2, you can just go into the tarball that has since been untarred and adb push the voxl-suite/voxl-vision-hub deb to the voxl2 and then do a sudo dpkg -i voxl-vision-hubXXXDEB - that will install it back onto the system. The other option is to either reflash or do a sudo apt-get upgrade which would pull the most recent debs from the modalAI apt repository on the cloud.

Let me know if this helps either of you!

Can you help with the weblink/guide to adb push the voxl-suite/voxl-vision-hub deb to the voxl2 or reflash the Starling2?

@Zachary-Lowell-0

Also, neither voxl-inspect-pose -f nor voxl-inspect-pose -l doesn't output anything, it simply outputs "waiting for server at /run/mpa/vvhub_body_wrt_fixed/" and "waiting for server at /run/mpa/vvhub_body_wrt_local/".

voxl-inspect-qvio outputs normally!

Is this normal?

@Zachary-Lowell-0, the drone isn't getting armed in positionhold mode, I see an error in QGC stating 'No valid local position estimate'!

Is there any way to ensure that the drone receives VIO data other than the odometry(331) from MAVLink Inspector on QGC? Is the drone expected to receive data on vehicle_visual_odometry UORB topic, 'listener vehicle_visual_odometry'?

@griffin Thank you for your response!

I've already tried to changing the parameters but didn't yield any results and either way in my case, I'm using Straling2 which is basically a indoor development drone and also the parameters are intact.

Also, I don't see odometry data on mavlink console, I doubt the issue more than with the parameters!

It has been observed that Starling2 doesn't switches to PositionHold, instead changes to AltitudeHold when on flight. Also, the drone doesn't gets armed in positionHold mode. We are using it indoors (No GPS), the quality of VIO is good but QGC reports 'No valid local position estimate'.

@Eric-Katzfey Sure, Thank you!

@Eric-Katzfey What are the camera placement positions for the Dual Tracking Camera option for Starling2? Is it 1x front forward facing camera + 1x rear downward facing camera or 1x front forward facing camera + 1x rear backward facing camera?

Thank you for the clarification, @Eric-Katzfey!

Re: Dual Tracking

@Eric-Katzfey

In reference to the above-mentioned topic, does Starling2 currently utilizes only one tracking camera sensor (AR0114) for VIO? In addition, how does Triple tracking camera configuration utilized for the system VIO functionality?

What is the specification of image sensors (AR0144 1MP & IMX412 12MP RGB) and ToF sensor (PMD ToF sensor) like FOV, etc used in Starling2?

@Eric-Katzfey Thank you for the clarification!

Is the ELRS 2.4GHz radio configuration available with Starling2?
