@ryan_meagher You should be able to do this using the /etc/network/interfaces approach you mentioned. voxl-modem uses that approach in order to set a static IP for Microhard on eth0. This is what the /etc/network/interfaces file looks like in that case:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.168.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.168.1
Hi @jacksparkman ,
It looks as though you are running a Microhard connection. This may be interfering with your VOXL's ability to connect to the internet. You can disable the Microhard connection on startup by using systemctl disable voxl-modem and rebooting your VOXL. When you are ready to re-enable your Microhard connection you can use systemctl enable voxl-modem.
This may solve your issue. If not, are you using your VOXL's Wi-Fi in station mode and ssh'ing through your local network or in Soft AP mode and ssh'ing directly into VOXL?
You will need to have your VOXL in Station mode in order to SSH in as well as connect to the internet.
Thanks!
Tom
I would rebuild using the master branch and do the following:
You can use the opkg server in order to install the dependencies.
In /etc/opkg/opkg.conf uncomment the line #src/gz dev http://voxl-packages.modalai.com/dev.
Then, call opkg update
opkg install libmodal_jsonopkg install voxl-mpa-tools./install-on-voxl.sh
@Alex123 You should be able to mount the sdcard directory using the following param
docker run -v /sdcard:/sdcard
@PawelJ It looks as though you are using the correct IP in your config file and voxl-vision-px4 is running correctly. Is it possible that you have some custom firewall setup on your host PC that is blocking traffic on that port?
@Daniel-Ryu Check out the documentation here: https://docs.modalai.com/docker-on-voxl/
Try running voxl-configure-docker-support.sh
@Gaurav-Borade You don’t need to be in any specific directory to use opkg update
@PawelJ There isn't an exact way to do that, if you want you could edit your initial question and add a [SOLVED] section at the top and describe the solution.
@Djalma-Ribeiro Awesome thank you, just wanted to make sure your RB5 had the SDK loaded properly, which it does.
It's not absolutely necessary to upgrade the SDK, if you do want to you can follow the steps here: https://docs.modalai.com/Qualcomm-Flight-RB5-sdk-installation/#how-to-upgrade
One note, if you try to upgrade the SDK while PX4 is running it will fail. So in order to upgrade the SDK you would have to disable PX4 from starting systemctl disable rb5-px4-start and then reboot your drone before upgrading your SDK.
@yu-zhang Any PX4 code related questions are probably better suited for the PX4 slack, people are usually pretty eager to help there: https://slack.px4.io/
@Chuck-Bokath Sounds like you were able to get a connection going? If not, I was going to suggest adding your ground station's IP to the voxl-vision-px4 config file under the qgc_ip setting.
@justinGE This is good information, thanks for sharing!
@Zeev-Mindali Checkout your options here: https://www.modalai.com/pages/rma
@yu-zhang That project gets pulled in via. a submodule: https://github.com/modalai/px4-firmware/blob/f40863b2a72a3cf1c8d85b364a25a5dff3e87898/.gitmodules#L30
@Kris The LTE add-on board (M0030) has 2 JST ports for client USB devices
@yu-zhang This is the branch that the current PX4 version is built off: https://github.com/modalai/px4-firmware/tree/modalai-1.11
@Chuck-Bokath Here is the latest VOXL platform release: https://developer.modalai.com/asset/view/91
VOXL Platform Release 3-6-0-0.5.0-a
@Djalma-Ribeiro RB5 is running Ubuntu 18.04, so any installation / updating instructions for Ubuntu 18 should also be applicable to RB5
@Djalma-Ribeiro As long as you have your VPN set up correctly it should be the exact same idea. The only change is that you will have to specify the IP of your ground station in the qgc-ip file. I can't help too much with the OpenVPN side of things other than what is in our docs.
