@tom It worked! I tightened the screws, and it turns out it was a hardware issue. I've installed the Tailscale VPN on both the drone and my machine, and I've completed the calibration and binding. However, I'm having trouble starting the camera; it's not turning on in VLC or QGroundControl.

RE: issue with starting the cameras on my VOXL 2 device.
@tom
I have double-checked that the 5G add-on board is fully seated, and I followed the same process that worked successfully before the update. Given the current issue, what would you recommend I check next to help resolve this? I have attached a screenshot where I tried to reconfigured the modem and the issue still persists. -

RE: issue with starting the cameras on my VOXL 2 device.
@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.
