    • RE: Setting up network interfaces

      @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

    • RE: How to install and configure OpenVPN?

      @Djalma-Ribeiro You can create a systemd service file and enable it to run on boot and have it execute the OpenVPN connection command.

      Here is an example on how we have used it in the past on a VOXL:

      [Unit]
      After=voxl-time-sync.service
      Requires=voxl-time-sync.service
      
      [Service]
      Type=forking
      ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 2
      ExecStart=/usr/sbin/openvpn --script-security 2 --daemon --config /etc/openvpn/KEY_FILE
      
      [Install]
      WantedBy=default.target
      

      Won't be exactly the same as above but that's the general idea.

    • RE: M500 will not connect to QGC, but still has shh connection

      @Steve-Sager We don't support using Windows for flashing. Do you have an Ubuntu machine you could use to flash? Preferably Ubuntu 18.04.

    • RE: Voxl not connecting to QGC

      @PawelJ Yep, it should be either 14550 or 14551.

    • RE: How to edit full-m0052.config file?

      @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.

    • RE: error compiling voxl-vision-px4 from source

      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

      • Install libmodal_json with opkg install libmodal_json
      • Install voxl-mpa-tools with opkg install voxl-mpa-tools
      • Back on your host pc, run ./install-on-voxl.sh

    • RE: M500 will not connect to QGC, but still has shh connection

      @Steve-Sager That's interesting, you can use vi to modify the file and enter the correct IP in the qgc_ip field, vi /etc/modalai/voxl-vision-px4.conf

    • RE: Voxl not connecting to QGC

      @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?

    • RE: Connecting to a private 5G network

      @chris_macdonald @kitkatSG Here is an example of how to send an AT command to the Quectel modem:

      echo -ne "AT+QNWPREFCFG=\"mode_pref\",LTE:NR5G\r" | busybox microcom -t 1000 /dev/ttyUSB2
      

      The above gets ran as part of rb5-modem in order to set the network preference to allow both LTE and 5G.

      Here is a link to the Quectel RM5* series modem AT command manual, you can probably find a relevant AT command to use there: https://www.quectel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Quectel_RG50xQRM5xxQ_Series_AT_Commands_Manual_V1.2.pdf

    • RE: reverting back to RB5 SDK and flight image

      @Sam-Kiley We don't use the RB5 SDK anymore so haven't had experience with that specific version of quectel-CM is quite some time. We have a lot of customers using 5G via. voxl-modem on the latest VOXL SDK without issues.

    • RE: VOXL is rebooting PX4

      @m4v3r This doesn't sound like normal behavior... can you describe your hardware setup a little more? i.e. VOXL1/2?, Flight core? etc.

    • RE: reverting back to RB5 SDK and flight image

      @Sam-Kiley In that case, I would just comment out any lines in the script related to the cam cal files and just manually push them on later.

    • RE: reverting back to RB5 SDK and flight image

      @Sam-Kiley I would highly recommend loading VOXL SDK (Platform 0.9) release. It is much newer than any RB5 SDK release and will handle that flashing state with no issue.

    • RE: Scratch/Adhesive on One of Stereo Cameras

      It's possible that the lens has been knocked out of focus. See @Dobry-Kolacz 's write-up here on addressing that issue: https://forum.modalai.com/topic/1362/sentinel-stereo-camera-calibration-inconsistency/4?_=1674364904154

      "To adjust the focus on our stereo cameras twist the lens housing clockwise or counterclockwise similarly to how you would on a DSLR lens. Look closely at the stereo cams and you will see 4 flat edges. I recommend using a 6mm wrench to engage 2 of the flat edges; from there you'll be able to rotate and adjust the lens as needed. It is possible to use something like tweezers or small pliers to accomplish this however I recommend against that method because it is too easy for the tool to slip off and end up scratching the lens.

      To clean the lens I recommend using a clean microfiber cloth, a lens tissue, or a fresh q-tip"

    • RE: Resurrecting this modem issue as I have an identical problem

      @Bulldog357 That IP that you're getting on wwan0 is not a public IP and therefore can not be pinged directly. If you want to connect to your device remotely you'll have to either use a VPN or request a static IP from your carrier.

      See a little infographic here: https://docs.modalai.com/sentinel-user-guide-connect-gcs/#connecting-to-qgc-over-5g

      If you want to get a VPN service up and going quickly, I've recently been recommending https://tailscale.com/ as they have a solid free tier.
