@RoyAzriel I'll send you an email with a link to the latest SDK. It is largely untested on starling2-max which is why it isn't available on our public downloads page yet.

@PatkirkMartin In order to toggle power via PX4 you can do the following:

Set GPIO_CTL_CH to the AUX channel you'd like to use for this feature, e.g., 3 for RC_MAP_AUX3.

Set the corresponding RC_MAP_AUX# to the button/switch you want to use. e.g. 10 for channel 10 on your RC transmitter.

@jmltt Apologies, context was lost. For clarity, sentinel was the last dev drone in which spektrum rc was supported and SDK 1.5.0 was the last SDK tested on said platform. Later SDKs have different gpio defaults which is why you're running into this issue

@jmltt The last ModalAI supported SDK on the Sentinel platform is SDK 1.5.0. Which doesn't mean that you won't success with newer SDKs, we just haven't tested with it.

@vmbasvi That appears to be a Microhard modem, not a WiFi dongle.

@nl_vdi Here is a link to the latest beta: https://storage.googleapis.com/platform-beta-releases/voxl2/voxl2_SDK_1.6.4-beta8.tar.gz

@Michael-Hatton Did you run through the voxl-configure-modem setup in order to configure APN, etc?

@Barry-Hammond https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-streamer/#how-to-stream-video-with-rtsp-on-voxl

Quality greatly depends on your LTE coverage and VPN performance. I recommend lowering the bitrate in /etc/modalai/voxl-streamer.conf until you're happy with the response rate.

Tailscale can add overhead as well and our recent LTE testing has involved hosting a custom WireGuard server.

@mkriesel It's possible the kernel you're flashing is incorrect. Can you provide the full terminal output of the install?

@DronAlan https://www.modalai.com/pages/rma

@Alan_S The voxl-vtx repository is currently private, the source code for both voxl-vtx and voxl-vrx are contained within.

@spiff You'll likely need to reach out to Sierra Wireless directly for debug help.

@Jesus-Cardenas We recently moved our downloads page, I'll get an answer for you shortly.

@David-Avery See the following graphic.

You can connect a USB-C to hdmi adapter to the USB-C labeled "DisplayPort Out"

I recommend using the following adapter: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-48Gbps-Adapter-Supporting/dp/B08MSWMXT4?th=1

No software configuration changes are needed.

@MikeR Does your commando 8 have an orq ghost transmitter module connected to it? If it doesn't then it is likely using ELRS which is not compatible with a ghost receiver.

You'd need a orqa transmitter like this one: https://shop.orqafpv.com/products/orqa-orqa-fpv-ctrl-radio-controller

Maybe your other drone had an ELRS receiver on it?

@Sarika-Sharma It's not something we currently support

@Samuel-Lehman If you re-install the SDK you will be asked which kernel you'd like to flash, choose the one that has support for the M0173 camera breakout board, this will unlock the camera config options you want to use

@Muqing-Cao Here is the latest beta release: https://storage.googleapis.com/platform-beta-releases/voxl2/voxl2_SDK_1.6.3-beta1.tar.gz

@mkriesel You'll need to re-flash the SDK and select the correct kernel option that supports C11.

When running ./install.sh you'll see the following options:

Would you like to continue with SDK install?
1) Yes, with questions along the way to configure VOXL 2
2) Yes, just update SDK keeping the same SKU configuration
3) No

Select, option 1, and you'll get the option to choose which kernel to flash

Detected: M0054-1 (QRB5165M)
Detected: Config 1 w/ M0173 Breakout Board (Starling 2 Max, Starling 2, FPV V5)

=======================================================================================================
In order to support all of VOXL's camera configurations, specific drones require differing kernel images.
Please select your drone hardware to proceed with flashing the appropriate kernel image.
=======================================================================================================

PLEASE SELECT WHICH KERNEL TO FLASH
0. M0054-1 -> QRB5165M, Starling (D0005), Sentinel (D0006), FPV V4 (D0008), D0010, PX4 Dev Kit (D0011)
1. M0054-1 -> QRB5165M w/ M0173 Camera Breakout Board, Starling 2 Max (D0012), Starling 2 (D0014), FPV V5 (D0008/D0019/D0020)

Select your choice from the options above
or press [Enter] to continue with current config: 

For your use case, you'll want to select option 0 as you are not using an M0173 camera breakout board and the C11 camera config is inherited from the sentinel (D0006) platform.
