@suvasis You cannot modify the code on our ESC. But you can certainly add a new driver to PX4. I would start with the PX4 documentation: https://docs.px4.io/main/en/development/development.html

Hi,

Our next VOXL2 beta release will ship with the drivers, this is slated to be available soon (within weeks) and will provide for initial testing.

Thanks. I missed it.

@Eric-Katzfey said in QGC sensors - compass remains red:

t isn't being specified correctly. It's kind of hard to tell in the picture but, at a minimum, the board is rotated 180 degrees. So it's the IMU rotation that needs to be set.

yes, the board is rotated 180 degrees. So, how do I set the rotation of the IMU to 180 degrees? is it in the same config file?

I rotate it 180 degrees as shown below

@suvasis Unfortunately, motor testing using the QGC motors tab is not supported on VOXL2.

hi @suvasis

#test voxl-esc tools cd /home/root/voxl-esc/tools ./voxl-esc-scan.py #perform ESC testing / calibration #...

this was just a place holder for any testing you want to do with the voxl-esc tools.

#when done, restore original libpx4.so cd /usr/lib/rfsa/adsp rm libpx4.so cp libpx4.so.bak libpx4.so systemctl enable voxl-px4 reboot

This part restores the PX4 functionality, because in order to use voxl-esc tools on VOXL2, the instructions told you to disable PX4 while using voxl-esc tools. Soon we will not require disabling PX4 to use voxl-esc tools, but currently you have to do it.

Please note that we just made some updated to the voxl-esc tools and directory structure has slightly changed. Also, you no longer have to download the binary tools package and add it to the voxl-esc/tools directory. Please see an example params file here : https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/utilities/voxl-esc/-/blob/dev/voxl-esc-params/old/esc_params_modalai_4_in_1_revb.xml

@modaltb, thanks for the follow up. it ended up being a driver issue. I am not doing any kernel changes.

I am using the Sentinel and it was not purchased with the wifi module or cabling. I have an assortment of the wifi usb adapters, using one of the older ones (AWUS036NHV) worked.

Yes, it should work, just try it.

Thanks Vinny. The shipping cost $10 is I think excessive for every small item I buy from Modalai.com.

Subtotal $19.99
Shipping $9.99
Estimated taxes $1.45

Thanks.
