@Alex-Kushleyev Hi Alex, When I hold the drone in hand and move around the room, I see that VIO is at 100%. It only fails when I shake the drone or start flying it. I'm not sure what's going wrong.

@riteshsharma Hi @admin @Moderator @Alex-Kushleyev Can you please help me in this regard? I am stuck at it and could not move further for almost a month now.

@Alex-Kushleyev Did you have a chance to look at the logs and the video?

@Alex-Kushleyev Hi Alex,

I uploaded the qvio overlay video and logs at the link https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/105QyDrfBvA52eWwrdS9NHI0q9LHTPbMA?usp=drive_link for you to review. Can you please have a look at it?

Hi Alex, I was able to take picture and prepare video as you asked. Please find here Video & Images

@Alex-Kushleyev

I tried your suggestion. It works until I move the drone quickly or shake it abruptly. The quality goes to -1 and feature which were being tracked are not longer following actual features.

Also, regarding camera transform, the starling drone( with silver motor) drone I have is in factory assembly. It would be great, if you could share the config file for camera transform.

@Moderator @Alex-Kushleyev Hi Alex, I actually don't remember exact version.

I am sharing my flight logs(links: [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1v0FVU-SGO8WZukiOfFMfS7vYAGeJIq3E?usp=drive_link](link url)) and video of what happens when I try to fly in position mode. It just keeps climbing and had to press kill-switch. Just to let you know I am using starling drone in its factory setting (without any hardware damage) and re-flashed it with VOXL 2 SDK 1.2.0 using the option ./install.sh -w

My current configurations:

Also, when i run voxl-health-check, it fail the test. however I can see all my camera server working in Voxl-portal

@restore How did you do full wipe? Can you please post the steps to do so?

riteshsharma

@Eric-Katzfey I troubleshooted using the instruction on the https://docs.modalai.com/flying-with-vio/#troubleshooting-vio. Still as soon as the drone takes off, the quality of qvio goes down to -1.

I also tried to reflash the drone with the system image VOXL 2 SDK 1.2.0 and enabled every thing to factory settings, still the drone starts drifting and qvio falls below -1. But qvio at the ground always shows 100% quality,

Do you have any other suggestion?

riteshsharma

@tom Thank you. I tried running voxl-configure-sku and voxl-configure-mpa and flew the drone. It just do not hold position and qvio goes to -1.

I then tried running voxl-configure-extrinsics starling_v2_voxl2 and flew the drone again. The result was the same. The drone is not holding its position.

@tom Hi Tom, I re-flashed with the latest VOXL 2 SDK 1.2.0 via install.sh script. Now, to configure extrinsics what should I choose?

I dont see any option saying startling_v1_voxl2 or as such.

riteshsharma

Hi, I recently ran "apt update" and "apt upgrade" on my starling drone. Since then the drone is not holding position and keep climbing. I believe it is something to do with extrinsic configuration. Before, the option for extrinsic configuration used to show "voxl-configure-extrinsics factory_starling_v1" but now the option is gone. Can you please help me how to configure extrinsics given the information below:

riteshsharma

@Darshit-Desai I am having the same issue on both VOXL and VOXL2 after the upgrade. Let me know if you figure out.

riteshsharma

@tom In that case, how can I downgrade and go back to initial stage. Do you have any suggestion?

riteshsharma

Voxl-camera-server is failing after I upgraded the packages on starling drone.

Update on following up on this topic. I was able to use other camera including Logitech Brio as suggested on ModalAI webpage. It only support YUV format not MJPEG streaming. With YUV format on Logitech Brio, I was only able to get 1920x1080 at 5 fps. But could not get MJPEG working.

I am wondering if anyone have ever used Logitech Brio USB camera as a device in voxl-uvc-server running on voxl-deck. If yes, what is the highest resolution you have obtained at 30 fps ?

I am trying to use a very high resolution camera 4k or more with high fps for live inspection. Will voxl allow to configure such camera with uvc-server?

Thank you @Alex-Kushleyev . Finally I was able to modify the code to make it work for 2 USB cameras.
