@Rowan-Dempster One solution is to run my new package in a docker container. Not saying this is the best idea, but one possible solution.

Installing libpcl-dev
I need to install
libpcl-dev
fromapt
to do point cloud processing on VOXL2. Howeverapt
would removevoxl-eigen3
to installlibpcl-dev
, which I'm assuming would break other apps invoxl-sdk
(by the way what is the reasoning behind a custom build ofvoxl-eigen3
and not usingapt
?).How would you recommend solving this general problem of modal SDK apps having dependency conflicts with other general use packages like PCL? I'm thinking of building a custom version of PCL that uses the VOXL-SDK compatible version of eigen3, but that might be overkill.

Suggested CPU mode on VOXL2
VOXL2 has the ability to change the CPU frequency mode. I would like the software I write to run as realtime as possible on the VOXL2, while keeping the CPU as cool as possible. What mode would you suggest in this case, leave it as
auto
, or switch toperf
? What are the tradeoffs? -
ToF Performance Degrades as CPU heats up
Hi,
I'm seeing degraded ToF performance when the CPU is operating at 60C versus 40C. Degraded means fewer point returns, at less of a max distance. Is this the expected behavior of the sensor?
System details:
- ToF:
M0040-1 (Legacy TOF)
- VOXL2
- voxl-camera-server version

RE: Custom System Image
@tom If modal doesn't plan to support custom system image development in the near future I will continue to explore work arounds like offline-local-downloads, just wanted to check in with Modal first. If modal wants to explore custom system builds with a customers I'd be happy to work with modal on that.

RE: Custom System Image
@tom I tried to download ROS melodic that way and it was quite painful (so many dependencies). I agree it's a work around but I would like it to be more streamlined if possible.
Also I don't know of a way to do the equivalent strategy for pip packages.

RE: Custom System Image
@tom Yes VOXL 2
Read some other posts

https://forum.modalai.com/topic/2356/how-to-build-a-system-image/8
Looks like modal does not support exactly what I want. Any other work arounds? The main issue is we don't have internet access at any point in our flashing process.

Custom System Image
We would like to add a few custom apt packages to be baked into the system image (e.g. telnet). We cannot install the packages after the system image is installed because we do not have internet. Is it possible to "bake" our own system image that's the exact same as a specific version of modal's system image but with a few extra apt installs?

@tom That fixed the CPU usage issue, thank you!

RE: voxl-PX4 maxes 2 CPUs
@Eric-Katzfey I don't have that .conf file, even after I run voxl-configure-px4 (I just select enable)
