VOXL-ESC (output) + VOXL IO (output)
Hello everyone.
Is it possible to use the ESC that comes by default in the SENTINEL and at the same time the IO Board to connect a deploy servo?
When I put ESC=VOXL_ESC in the voxl-px4.conf the motors work but not the IO Board.
When I put ESC=VOXL2_IO_PWM_ESC the motors do not work but there is a connection with the IO Board (at least the connection).
Is there no way to have the drone motors act through J18 on the VOXL 2 and the servos output through J19 on the IO Board?If it is not possible I see that the VOXL 4 in 1 ESC has a connector (J3) with PWM input and output. Is it possible to use it?
If it is not possible either, having the SENTINEL HARDWARE, how is it possible to install a servo or any deployment device to be commanded from MAVSDK?
First of all, I apologize for how active I have been in the forum, and I appreciate the answers you have given me, but it is a bit urgent for me and I am facing some adversities.
Thank you so much. -
RE: VOXL 2 IO Board troubleshooting - Driver will not start
@valvarez UPDATE: I took another IOBoard and connected it to see what happened. To my surprise, it has shown something different. After updating it, I get the same thing as with the other one. The firmware that im using is voxl2_io_firmware_m0065_v1_35_58c82813.bin from https://developer.modalai.com/asset/7

RE: Ghost atto Sentinel
@Eric-Katzfey How should I redirect it? From what you have told me in other threads, my interpretation says that right now it is pointing to slpi-uart-7. Would it just be a matter of changing the 7?
Edit: In my head it sounded simpler

@Eric-Katzfey Replaced it with -p 7

RE: VOXL 2 IO Board troubleshooting - Driver will not start
@Jeremy-Frederick said in VOXL 2 IO Board troubleshooting - Driver will not start:
@Eric-Katzfey I'm not looking to run RC through the IO board, I'm using external RC commands for control. I'm looking to utilize the PWM outputs on the board to control a servo for a dropper mechanism. I made the change and am commanding the start of the voxl2_io driver successfully. As of now I am still unable to drive a servo through the QGC actuators tab, all the correct parameters have been loaded.
Hello @Jeremy-Frederick
Do you remember how you made that change? I can't find a way to change the port

Ghost atto Sentinel
Hello everyone.
I need to release the RC UART on J19 (Ghost atto of the Sentinel) to connect an IO Board. Can the Ghost atto be SBUS and UART at the same time or are they different devices?
If it is SBUS I know that I could connect it to J3 of the IO Board, but if it is UART, could it go in the ttyHS2 for example?Thank

RE: Connect the VOXL 2 I/O using the UART port on the 5G modem
@Eric-Katzfey In my case I am receiving data as @Alex-Kushleyev explains with
stty -F /dev/ttyHS2 115200 cat /dev/ttyHS2
and in the script in /usr/bin/voxl-px4-start I see that section @Eric-Katzfey
but when it comes to running voxl-px4 it autodetects with different bauds to the GPS. Is it necessary to change it somewhere else?
I have no problems with the MAG. It detects it perfectly.
I have the RX and TX of the GPS connected exclusively to the J9 of the 5G, and the rest, to the J19.I also have the RX and TX of the IO Board connected to the RX and TX of the J19.
I have also tried disconnecting the IO Board and leaving only the GPS on the J9.SOLVED: I change in the file voxl-px4-start from M0052 to M0054. Thanks!!!

RE: PWM Servo IO Board
@modaltb
Hello.
I have tried this command following what you mentioned and it doesn't work.
Is there anything special I have to try?
Is it possible to connect the IO Board to the UART /dev/ttyHS2 taking this into account in the firmware update bash script?
