@Beniamino-Pozzan Thank you so much for the info,
I wanted to try it and realised foxy has no support and with Ubuntu 18.04 on voxl-2 it is not possible to use any other ROS-2 installations easily. I will use ros2 plugin by keeping microdds as default middleware.
I hope newer ROS versions will be available for VOXL-2.

Hi I'm trying to use zenoh as middleware in my voxl-2 I can see it defaults to microdds. is there any support for zenoh by voxl-services.
I'm not able to build it from source for foxy. any suggestions on this?
thank you.

@Vinny Thank you so much for the info. I already have tracking and IMX412 cameras. I want to just buy Board. I have a small query, do I need any extra cables or connectors to connect this frontend camera connecter to VOXL 2 or does it come with the board when I order just the board only?

Thank you.

Thank you for the reply @Alex-Kushleyev, This is the cam Configuration I have got. .

Thanks for help once again.

Re: Performance VOXL Mini 4-in-1 ESC

Hi, I would like to know what the performance of the VOXL 4-in-1 ESC MDK-M0134-1-01 would be, if I use a 5 inch propellers with EMAX ECO II Series 2207 2400 KV motors. I belive the total velocity would be 12–15A at full throttle for each motor or it might go up even higher and I have a 3s battery for my setup.

thank you.

Hi, I have recently purchased a TOf camera for mapping, I have tried to connect it with my voxl-2, I belive I'm missing somehting. I have interposers MDK-M0076-1-00, and a dual camera adapter MSU-M0084-1-01.

I couldn't figure out what I missed for this, please any suggestions?

Thank you,
Best.

@Eric-Katzfey Thank you for the suggestion. but I have some constraints to use a prebuilt drone I have to build a custom one. so as you suggested I can use just a 12-pin adapter. I'm not intending to use any GPS or GNSS module.
do you think that works?

thank you.

@Eric-Katzfey My apologies I'm really new to drones. I don't know which firmware that I should use for the connector. I already have a TBS crossfire RC with me which I used with voxl-flight. so I thought it would be easy for me to use it with the UART expansion port.

can you please suggest me what will be the best approach. which connector can I use to connect this to J19 port.
thanks.

I have a tbs crossfire receiver. I want to know can I connect this with the j3 UART-usb3.0 expansion board as it has support for UART7.
thanks in advance.

Hi @Alex-Kushleyev ,
Thank you for your suggestion. Now I understood. how to use my existing stereo, and tracking cameras on voxel-2.

Hi,
I'm working with the VOXL flight. I faced some issues with making it autonomous and using ROS.
So I have decided to migrate to VOXL-2. I have a flight deck, can I swap the stereo cameras and Tracking cameras in voxl-flight to voxl-2. will it be complicated and I also want to use LIDAR and other sensors like Ultrasonic. Does anyone recommend this?

Thank you.

@Zachary-Lowell-0
thank you so much, Zach. I understood the error that I got, My sole purpose is to fly autonomously without using GPS I want to add LIDAR for mapping as well. so I wanted to know how can I use ros in the voxl-flight. but I find it very hard to develop on the voxl-flight because of the support issues.
thank you for your support. I will try to install MAVSDK using Docker. Thank you so much.

I'm new to UAV development and have a ModalAI VOXL Flight Deck. I've set up the hardware (battery, receiver, motors, propellers) and can receive sensor data using ros_to_mpa. However, I'm struggling with the following:

• list itemHow can I send commands to the motor controllers? Are there ROS libraries or packages to publish cmd_vel to the motors?

• list itemCan I use MAVSDK in a Docker container to control the motors?

After updating to VOXL-SDK 1.2.0, I can't find PX4-related files.

Do I need to install PX4 firmware or additional packages separately
What's the recommended method for controlling the motors on the VOXL Flight Deck
I've tried various approaches but haven't been successful. Any guidance or resources would be greatly appreciated.
