Hi,

I am wondering how to change the default SSH password from oelinux123 to something else? If this is possible, how does one do this?

Thanks,

Rohit

Hi,

I am curious to know why there are 2x XT60 connectors on the Power module. Can either the Male or Female end of the connector be used to power the VOXL/VOXL2? Or should we only use the Male connector (the connector that connects to the wall power supply)?

Thanks!

Hi,

I am new to the Remote ID rule that the FAA put out a couple of months ago. I had a few questions about the voxl-remote-id service.

1. From the instructions, the voxl-remote-id service generates a remote ID for you. To register new drones now, you need to add either a standard Remote ID or a broadcast Remote ID. Is this a standard Remote ID or a broadcast one?
2. Does this remote ID change after a reboot? If so will we need to change our registration each time since the Remote ID is different with every bootup?
3. How do other parties see our broadcast information if not on softAP/Wifi? What if we were using our own radio network? For this case, is it better to buy our own out-of-the-box Remote ID broadcasting module?

Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Thanks,

Rohit

I found out that the WiFi dongles were broken which is what was causing the issue

@Chad-Sweet I am also curious about the autotune feature and when it will be released. Any updates on this at this time?

Yep. It seems to be random. We tried different WiFi dongles and while it would fix the issue temporarily. It would cause issues a few days later.

Hi,

I am attempting to connect to the WiFi using the Microhard Add-on board and the ALFA wifi dongle connected to the board using the JST USBA adapter. However, when I do voxl-wifi station <SSID> <Password>. Nothing happens. No IP address is being seen under wlan0when I do ifconfig. I made sure the SSID and password are correct. Is this a known issue recently cause I don't remember having this much trouble before. This is a brand new VOXL2 board running 0.9.5.

Hi,

I noticed you guys released a new VOXL2 image over the past week and I had a question about it. Here - https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-camera-configs/#platform-release-095 you mention that this image allows for more camera configs. But when I do voxl-configure-cameras I don't see these options that are shown in the link I provided. Could you guide me on how to get the new camera configs working?

Thanks!

Thanks for the info! Just to confirm, I am asking about this post ModalAI made on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/posts/modal-ai_voxl-tof-pmd-activity-7010997849232474112-VV6a?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop

This update is almost a year out?

Thanks.

Hi,

I am just wondering when the image will be released that supports 4 TOFs on the VOXL2. Or if it has, is there documentation on how to set this up?

Thanks!

@Eric-Katzfey

Just adding to this thread. Is the only way to connect external sensors to the Linux processor through the USB ports on the Microhard add on board? And I2C is not possible?

Can I get an update on this please?

According to this documentation (https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-linux-user-guide/), we can use GPIO pins to power a LED for example. If so, what connector's GPIO do you recommend we use given there is a Microhard Add-on board, and all camera sensors are connected?

Hi,

In this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhlXogRwWdQ) posted by ModalAI, you show the VIO capabilities in low light conditions. To replicate this, I am curious about the setup of the flashlight and the connection on the VOXL.
I need a flashlight that we can connect using USB or I2C on the VOXL/VOXL2. Do you have any product recommendations and/or ports we can use to connect the flashlight to on the VOXL/VOXL2?

Thanks,

Rohit

Update: We are hitting a roadblock where adb shell is not working and the device is not showing up under adb devices. Could you help us here? We are able to SSH in fine but can't use the cable.

Thanks

Hi,

I was conducting some offboard to position flight mode transition tests. Where I move the RC sticks to a certain set threshold to have Pilot take control of the drone. However, during this transition, POS flight mode acts up and shoots the drone up into the ceiling even with the slightest touch on the sticks. Every time this happens, I noticed that the throttle shoots up to 80% thrust. Even though the stick is below 50%. The RC is calibrated properly as well. This occurs even when I touch the right stick which controls the Roll and Pitch and Throttle is left at 0. Wondering if anyone encountered this issue? Are there any params that you guys are familiar with to make this transition safer?

Best,

Rohit

I re-flashed the drone with the new VOXL2 package and it seems to have fixed itself for the time being. I will post in this thread again if the issue springs back up.

Hi,

The ToF sensor's orientation on VOXL portal is incorrect/deviated by 90 degrees on the pitch and yaw. We tried to edit the extrinsics.conf file to mitigate this issue but the pointcloud does not reflect this change in VOXL portal. Can you help me with this?

Once we change the extrinsics.conf, what services do we need to restart in order for the changes to take effect?

Device being used: VOXL & VOXL2 running the latest versions of voxl-suite and image
Sensor in question: ToF oriented horizontally on the VOXL deck with the lens on the right and the reflector on the left.

Best,

Rohit

Thanks will do!

Hi,

Is it possible to get more of the motor caps that come with the Sentinel? We forgot to secure one of the props and the cap flew off during takeoff and now we can't find it

We need 1x V1.1 if you have any extras.

Thanks,

Rohit

Yes, I believe so. We plugged it back in exactly how it was when we picked the drone up.
