Hello, I enabled openvins using the documentation here https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-open-vins-server, except the sku.txt change.
for some reason, I see in the hand testing, the z drift often, and also I continuously see [ INFO] [1770537820.961194398]: FCU: Vision Data Too Old.
How do I fix these issues?
Thanks.
Hello,
In /etc/modalai/voxl-px4.conf set GPS to NONE. Then set the PX4 parameters SYS_HAS_GPS, and SYS_HAS_MAG to 0. Set EKF2_MAG_TYPE to None. Set EKF2_GPS_CTRL to 0. This is when my GPS was broken.
I was getting Preflight Fail: heading estimate not stable and Preflight Fail: Yaw estimate error
How could I fix the error? Is there any calibration or anything else that needs to be done? I was looking at QGC and yaw seemed to move smoothly when i yawed so I don't know what the issue is. /mavros/local_position/odom seems to be properly providing the drone's pose as well, at least the position and yaw.
Here is an image of when I start autonomous exploration (not flying yet) but moving it with hand, I am getting these preflight errors that I used to not get.
This is with SYS_HAS_GPS, and SYS_HAS_MAG to 1, EKF2_MAG_TYPE = Automatic, EKF2_GPS_CTRL = 7
Also, voxl-inspect-gps is saying NO GPS for fix type:
dt(ms) |fix type|Sats|Latitude(deg)|Longitude(deg)| Alt(m) |Vel(m/s)|HorErr(m)|AltErr(m)|
129.5 | NO GPS | 0 | 0.0000000 | 0.0000000 | -17.0 | 0.00 | 4294967.295 | 4092465.408 |^C
@Eric-Katzfey What about autonomous control indoors, and how could that be fixed if it's an issue? This is with a new GPS as well. Do I have to configure anything? Also, for the EKF2_GPS_CTRL, I reset to default: 7
@Nitin-Varma-Vegesna said in Repair:
My Starling 2 drone crashed, and a good amount of damage was done. The PCB board was cracked, and the GPS mount was broken, and I was wondering whether I should submit a Repair Merchandise Authorization, and generally how long does the entire process take from submit an RMA to receiving the drone back?
I submitted an RMA form, but I would still like to know how long the entire process takes generally please?

@Eric-Katzfey Now, it arms successfully, even though it says Preflight Fail: heading estimate not stable and Preflight Fail: Yaw estimate error. Is this an issue?
@Nitin-Varma-Vegesna Also for more information, the drone crashed into a ceiling, and the black holder for it broke, and while the wires look fine, I get the error Preflight Fail: Compass Sensor 0 missing when I try to fly it. Then, I have another working drone. I replaced its GPS with the drone that crashed, and I couldn't fly it due to the same error, so that is how I came to the conclusion that the GPS is the issue.
@Eric-Katzfey Also, for EKF2_MASG_TYPe, my options are Automatic, Magnetic Heading, 3-axis, VTOL custom, MC custom, and None, which corresponds to 5?
@Nitin-Varma-Vegesna Preflight Fail: Compass Sensor 0 missing
I am getting this issue, and came to the idea that it's an issue with the GPS, but if you have knowledge as to what it could be, let me know.
I got the compass sensor missing error for my Starling2, and I think it's an issue with the GPS. I want to buy a new GPS for the Starling2 ASAP, and I didn't see it on the products on the website. Is there a way for me to do that?
@Eric-Katzfey Ok, also is there a way to buy the GPS chip since I did not see it on the available products?
Hello, the top of the starling2 that holds the gps broke off and now I get the error Preflight Fail: Compass Sensor 0 missing. How do I fix this? I still have the gps, but did something else get lost or get loose? What exactly is the compass sensor in the starling 2. Also, for my endeavors, I don't need gps, so is there a way to prevent this error?
