@saegsali What platform are you running? If you arm and get the drone in the air does the ov_overlay appear? This change was made to reduce CPU load on the ground, it can likely be turned off in /etc/modalai/voxl-open-vins-server.conf

@kabumei I'd recommend reaching out to Ascend Engineering: https://www.ascendengineer.com/

@Ashish-Kumar What OS are you running on your host machine? If linux can you provide the output of lsusb with the board powered and plugged in?

@jmltt SDK testing for Sentinel ended at SDK 1.4.0

That doesn't mean that newer releases won't work, it just means we don't put it through the SW QA testing cycles that we do with our newer platforms.

You likely won't see any major performance improvements on Sentinel with newer SDK releases but there may be some nice quality of life additions such as helper scripts, voxl-portal updates and others.

If you have any questions about any specific packages feel free to ask.

@Ashish-Kumar Can you post a picture of your hardware setup so I can verify all looks normal?

@latif You can order replacement propellors here: https://www.modalai.com/products/starling-propellers-set-of-4?_pos=1&_sid=4b5f94f4e&_ss=r

If you have access to a 3d printer there are some STL files available from our downloads page here: https://developer.modalai.com/

When you plug your VOXL2 in to your machine does it enumerate at all?

Worst case you can submit an RMA here: https://www.modalai.com/pages/rma

@latif You'll want to load the GPS specific px4 param file in order for "position" mode to use GPS position as opposed to VIO position.

If you run voxl-configure-px4-params -w and navigate to EKF2_helpers you should be able to see the relevant options.

@latif What do you see if you run voxl-check-calibration?

It sometimes takes a while to get a GPS lock for the first time in a new location, may have to let the drone sit outside for 5-10 minutes for the initial lock, will be much faster after that.

@latif You should be able to go into /var and see what's full and deleting it

@roy-crosthwaite see here: https://www.modalai.com/pages/rma

@tom It's possible /var/log/journal/ is full for some reason? You could try clearing stale logs from there

@latif /var being that full is very abnormal, here is a screenshot from one of my drones:

@latif oh boy, well that is certainly an issue, can you run sudo du -h -d 1 / 2>/dev/null | sort -h to see which directory/partition is full?

@latif I wonder if you have the wrong kernel on there. If you run voxl-configure-cameras what options does it give you?

@latif said in Requesting the factory original calibration files for ADK Ser#M2500000185:

M250000018S

Okay great, I will send you an email with that calibration file.

You'll have to re-calibrate the imu yourself.

See here for instructions: https://docs.modalai.com/calibrate-imu/#step-3

@latif Checking our records, it looks like the drone you're using is equipped with a C29 camera configuration: MRB-D0012-4-V2-C29-T9-M11-X0

therefore I have the following camera calibration files in our database:
opencv_tracking_down_intrinsics.yml
opencv_tracking_front_intrinsics.yml

If C29 is not showing as an option for you, you may need to re-flash your drone with the correct kernel.

Can you confirm what cameras are physically connected to your drone?

If the serial number of your drone is indeed correct, in our database it is showing as a Starling 2 Max, can you upload a photo of your drone as a sanity check?

@lhermosillo Can you try following the process documented here? https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-unbricking/#unbricking-your-voxl-2

@Jetson-Nano This is where the logic for turtle mode can be found in the voxl-esc driver: https://github.com/modalai/px4-firmware/blob/voxl-dev/src/drivers/actuators/voxl_esc/voxl_esc.cpp#L330

You'd have to modify px4 to pull this logic into the driver you're using

@Jakub-Tvrz The sensor stack on Starling 2 Max should be the same as Starling 2

@bambamoda We haven't run more than 4 motors. It's theoretically possible to do so with dual ESCs but would take some software work
