How do I connect to Q Ground Control when the M500 is in Station Wifi Mode? I have the primary ground control IP address set to my laptop, which connected to the network the M500 is connected to.

What is the best way to stream the tracking camera? I need to stream it through an rtsp python script. I tried changing voxl-streamer.conf and voxl-mavcam-manager.conf to stream the camera, those didn't work. I ran the command voxl-streamer -i tracking, and it connected to my script, it connected to the camera, then disconnected (this script worked fine with the hires camera).

@Alex-Kushleyev Thanks for the reply. We tried this on our voxl1, but it didn't work. We get an error saying "Invalid option -- "d"". Is there a way to get this working on voxl1 on the m500?

I want to take pictures from the stereo cameras. Is there a way to do this through voxl-send-command or any other terminal command?

@tom I thought it was, it appears it isn't. How do I connect it to the internet?

I was trying to build the python mavsdk voxl docker image for my Modal M500 on a voxl one with Voxl SDK 1.2.0 installed https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-docker-images/voxl-docker-mavsdk-python However when I run build.sh, I get the following error:

The drone is connected to the computer via USB and I have a connection via adb shell. Anyone know how to fix this?

@Eric-Katzfey I am using SoftAP mode in Wifi.

I recently updated the Voxl SDK on my Modal M500 from 0.9.5 to 1.2.0, and now the aircraft won't connect to Q Ground Control. When I open Q Ground Control, it says disconnected. The aircraft still connects to my laptop via wifi and I can SSH into the aircraft from a terminal.

@Eric-Katzfey Do you have a list of voxl-send-command commands, or is it listed in the documentation somewhere?

I was able to get the SDK upgraded to Voxl 1.2.0. However now it won't communicate with Q Ground Control. When I open it, it shows that it is disconnected despite there being a wifi connection between between the laptop and the M500. It connects to the laptop fine and I can SSH into the aircraft. Is there a setting somewhere on the aircraft that I have to change for it to connect with QGC again?

Hello,

I am trying to get the voxl-docker python script from this page: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-docker-images/voxl-docker-mavsdk-python

But when I try to run the pull command, I get this error:

docker pull gcr.io/modalai-public/voxl-mavsdk-python:v1.1
Error response from daemon: unable to ping registry endpoint
https://gcr.io/v0/
v2 ping attempt failed with error: Get

I am running this on a Modal M500 with Voxl 1 and Docker is installed and setup. What would be causing this error?

Is there anyway to modify the VOXL Web Portal?

@Eric-Katzfey I tried update it with the latest SDK but it says it is out of space. I have a Windows machine, are there instructions for installing the latest SDK onto the Modal M500?

@Eric-Katzfey I tried that command, but I got the error "Unable to find valid pipe that accepts control commands at: hires_snapshot". I am using voxl-suite 0.9.4, with system image 4.0.0.

I need to take screenshots off the hires camera feed from the M500 every quarter second and save the screenshots to my computer. Is there a way to modify the voxl streamer script or another script on board the aircraft to do this?
