    • RE: Rotate imx412 stream

      @Alex-Kushleyev I have now found the correct file in the /usr/share/modalai/chi-cdk directory. Now everything works as it should. Many thanks for your support!

      @Alex-Kushleyev The most current file name in the list in the directory is com.qti.sensormodule.imx412_flip_2.bin.

      We have ordered and installed this camera:

      Image Sensor 4k High-resolution, Low-light Sensor for VOXL® (Starvis IMX412 w/ micro-coax & M12-style Lens) (MSU-M0161)

      @Alex-Kushleyev We use the ISP mode (“ae_mode”: “isp”) and the hires_small_encoded pipeline.
      Thank you very much for your support. 🙂

      @TomP Any ideas? There should be a rotation parameter somewhere.

    • Rotate imx412 stream

      Hello everyone,
      I have accidentally turned my camera 180 degrees. Turning it round does not work because it is firmly attached to a bracket.
      How can I rotate the video stream 180 degrees again? Where can I configure this?

      Best regards,
      Tom

      @Eric-Katzfey said in ArduPilot on Voxl2:

      @TomP Wonderful! So glad to hear. And I would really love to hear how the flight testing goes. We've never tried a VOXL 2 (or VOXL 2 mini) on a fixed wing (with ArduPilot) so be careful and triple check to make sure everything looks setup correctly before launching.

      It is an honor for me to report. We will be careful. Of course, a crash can also occur independently of the VOXL2. This is a new drone that we are building.

      What might be relevant for you is that we have found a gimbal that will fit one of your cameras with a bit of hardware hacking. The gimbal can also be controlled via serial interface using Ardupilot. We have already successfully tested this with the VOXL2-Mini.

      voxl-2-io

      It works! Many thanks for the great support! 🙂
      The firmware upgrade was the solution.

      @TomP A new voxl-ardupilot package with debug information added. But we may not need that. Try voxl-2-io detect and then if that is successful then try voxl-2-io scan

      @Eric-Katzfey said in ArduPilot on Voxl2:

      Yep, that all looks fine. Shoot. I may need to send you a new package with extra debug information to help debug this since by default there really isn't much we can see.

      What do you mean by that?

      @Eric-Katzfey Here is the pin configuration (J19 on VOXL2-Mini to J4 on IO Board):

      VOXL2-Mini-----IO Board
      9-----------------1
      8-----------------3
      7-----------------2
      6-----------------4

      (I mistyped the table at the beginning. I have corrected the typo.)

    • RE: ArduPilot on Voxl2

      @Eric-Katzfey I can rule out connection problems. I checked the contacts on the VOXL2-Mini and the IO board with a continuity tester. Everything is well connected.

      I know that with ardupilot you can at least control the servos without arming. Is this perhaps implemented differently here? Then I would have to calibrate the sensors etc. to test this.

      @Eric-Katzfey The battery monitor works. Thank you very much! I'm sure the PWM will also work and then it's off to the test flight. 🙂

    • RE: ArduPilot on Voxl2

      Hi,

      There is another problem. The PWM board does not output PWMs. I have also measured this with an oscilloscope. According to SERVO_OUTPUT_RAW, however, the FC should output PWM values.

      Do I have to set another parameter in Arduplane so that the VOXL 2 I/O Expander Board is controlled correctly?

      I use the VOXL2-Mini J19 connector: GND, pin 7, pin 8 and VREG_3P3V_RC for the power supply.

      Here is my setup:

    • RE: ArduPilot on Voxl2

      @Eric-Katzfey No, this is not detected. The configuration does not seem to be correct either. The parameter list mentions "Analog Voltage and Current" and corresponding pins.

    • RE: ArduPilot on Voxl2

      Hi,

      How can I configure the battery monitor for ArduPlane on the VOXL2-Mini?
      Which value do I have to enter for BATT_MONITOR and which values for BATT_I2C_ADDR and BAT_I2C_BUS?

      The "VOXL 2 Mini Power" transmits the current and voltage measurement data via I2C.

      Best regards,
      Tom

    • VOXL2-MINI Serial Pin Mapping for Ardupilot

      Re: ArduPilot on Voxl2
      Hi,

      Which pins on the J19 connector of the VOXL2-Mini are mapped to ArduPilot's SERIALx ports?

      For the VOXL2-Mini J19 connector, one of the UART connections (pins 7 and 😎 is reserved for PWM signals. With pins 2 and 3 dedicated to GPS, which ArduPilot SERIALx port does that correspond to? Additionally, which SERIALx port is mapped to pins 10 and 11?

      Best regards,
      Tom

    • RE: ArduPilot on Voxl2

      @Eric-Katzfey We use GPS, compass and the IO board for a PWM-controlled ESC and two servos. We also need two more PWM channels for gimbal control. That's it.

      We do not use an RC. The control is purely via MAVLink. Joystick inputs are made via the MAVLink command MANUAL_CONTROL. Data is transmitted via the mobile network.

    • Camera not recognized

      Hello everyone,

      We are using the Mini VOXL with the following setup:

      Camera:

      IMX412 Sensor COAX BD M0161
      Connector:
      M0155
      Here are some pictures of the setup:

      SetUp
      Port Image

      I need clarification about the connection. Do we need to align the number "59" written on the Mini VOXL with the connector for proper connection? Should they overlap, as shown in the image below?

      Possible Connection Possible

      Any guidance on how to connect this correctly would be greatly appreciated.

      Thanks in advance!
