@tom I'm having trouble pinging the drone. I've set it up using a 5G modem (since the drone that I have doesnt have a wifi dongle) [VOXL AL & 5G Development drone-sentinel 5G LTE Modem] to connect to QGroundControl and proceed with installing the VPN on the drone. However, when I attempt to ping google.com
, I get an error stating "unknown server," and I'm unable to see the drone's IP address. Prior to updating the SDK, I had successfully configured the modem and connected to QGroundControl via Tailscale VPN and I don't know why I'm getting these issues now. Any assistance in resolving this issue would be appreciated.

@tom
Hello,I followed your instructions and ran sudo dmesg -wH to monitor the kernel messages while reproducing the issue. I observed the output, which I’ve attached as a screenshot.
For context, I am running Ubuntu on a virtual machine (VM) and not directly on my hardware. I attempted the first flight of the drone, (VPN Tailscale) and while everything else was running smoothly, the only issue I faced was that the cameras did not turn on.

@tom Yes the permissions are there, I have attached a screenshot of the permissions. In the previous post sceenshot it shows as "[INFO} Found fastboot device", but once I send 1 and enter it's stuck.

RE: issue with starting the cameras on my VOXL 2 device.
@tom said in issue with starting the cameras on my VOXL 2 device.:
@Rawdha-R I think the best first step would be to load the latest SDK on your VOXL 2 as that SDK is a few years old at this point.
I would recommend flashing the latest SDK (1.3.3) from downloads.modalai.com under "VOXL 2 Platform Releases"
Just follow the instructions here to do so: https://docs.modalai.com/flash-system-image/#flashing-a-voxl-sdk-release

I tried flashing the latest SDK (1.3.3) from downloads modalai under VOXL 2 platform release[link text] It is stuck at this point, please see the screenshot above.

issue with starting the cameras on my VOXL 2 device.
I am facing an issue with starting the cameras on my VOXL 2 device. Previously, all cameras were visible in the VOXL web portal, but currently, only the "hires" camera is showing up. Additionally, the cameras are not working in QGroundControl or VLC.
I have tried several troubleshooting steps, such as configuring the video settings in the General tab of QGroundControl, adding the RTSP URL, and setting the aspect ratio, but there is still no output.
When I run voxl-camera-server, only the "hires" camera is enabled, while others are not visible. Could you please guide me on how to get all cameras working again in both VOXL web portal and QGroundControl/VLC?
This is the VOXL version:

VOXL AI & 5G Drone - Microhard Modem Question
I have a question about the Wi-Fi setup for the VOXL AI & 5G Development Drone - Sentinel. Is the Microhard modem sold separately, or is there anything else I need to purchase separately for the complete setup?
