Another snag... Seems like the voxl-vision-px4 is spotty at starting. I am trying to fly again and no luck. I ran the status command and the same failure as before.

I just did another test randomly while eating my lunch and it worked as expected. So I did a maiden and checked stabilize, althold, and position mode and all modes flew well. We have lots of snow here so cant test too much more outdoors.

I've been testing on a Macbook Pro. I can get QGC via the USB port, just not via Wifi. And the motors dont spin above minimum armed PWM.

No luck on different computer. I just tried the ESC cal as well and no luck.

Looks like that worked.

I edited the QGC IP to my laptop's IP and QGC still doesnt see it. I will try from a different computer.

I run into the same issue when I check the voxl vision status. Active: Failed. There is nothing on the voxl-vision-px4.conf file. It's not properly configuring that file.

@modaltb I may have modified it, not even sure. I'm still learning the hardcore software side of this. I'm a hardware guy.

Now it says only "error parsing config file before: ?
Segmentation fault"

This is what I typed and what I get.

~ # systemctl stop voxl-vision-px4
~ # voxl-vision-px4 -d

This is what I see. I also cannot get to QGC through VOXL.
