    • RE: Push to Gitlab?

      @tom

      It was a massive lift on my end. Many changes as you can see from the pull request. Years of development

    • RE: VOXL rebooting PX4

      It appears this happens when the sensors are not calibrated on the drone. voxl-vision-px4 picks up on sensor inconsistency and restarts PX4.

      So, calibrated the sensors. Looks better

      resolved

    • Docker Documentation

      I think these documentation pages are the same.

      https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-cross/
      https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-emulator/
      https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-emulator/

      Not huge deal, but thought I would post ticket to track

    • Docker System error: write /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/system.slice/cpuset.cpus: invalid

      Docker container non-deterministic fail

      I am trying to start a container with the following command:
      docker run --rm -it --net=host cal_compass:latest

      Sometimes it starts right up. Other times it gives me this error: Cannot start container 05621665b072b85b6419f904c0ffb511a1ad07a32c1ca675820aaadbefa4a316: [8] System error: write /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/system.slice/cpuset.cpus: invalid argument"

      Any ideas what could be wrong? Thank you for any insights

    • RE: PWM Pinout 5 only has signal with camera trigger.

      @Caleb-Rievley are you loading firmware 1.12 and 1.13 on the VOXL Flight?

      ModalAI comes out with their own versions of PX4. Let me dig up that URL:

    • RE: Docker System error: write /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/system.slice/cpuset.cpus: invalid

      So it turns out that the post-running script for docker service relies on the image "hello-world:latest"

      I had uninstalled that image to save space.

      Redownloading image and trying again

    • GPS/VIO EKF2 switch

      Hello,

      We have a UAV we would like to fly indoors and outdoors without landing during that transition.
      I know that there is support for EKF2 GPS/VIO "fusion" using 329 as the EKF2_AID_MASK in PX4
      Link to tutorial

      We were thinking of manually changing the EKF2 bitmask when we fly indoors or outdoors.

      My question is, are there any software/features available that would more easily support switching from GPS to VIO? Want to make sure I am not redoing work before I start.

      Thank you

    • RE: Voxl stuck in waiting after unbricking

      Wanted to update this by saying I experienced same issue, but I resolved this by disconnecting tracking camera that had been installed upside down. So, if anyone is reading this in the future....try disconnecting your cameras attached to the board

    • ERROR: Camera 1 failed to find supported snapshot config

      Hello, I get the following error when starting voxl-camera-server

      voxl2:/$ voxl-camera-server 
      ------ voxl-camera-server: Starting camera server

      This error disappears when I change "/etc/modalai/voxl-camera-server.conf" so that the hires camera has a snapshot width X height of 640 X 480 respectively.

      So, I thought I would check to see what possible resolutions I could stream from these cameras. I ran "voxl-camera-server -l" and see the following

      oxl2:/$ voxl-camera-server -l
      Note: This list comes from the HAL module and may not be indicative

      	640x480,

      It seems like I can only stream 640 X 480 from the cameras.

      I tried staging and dev releases and found the same issue. Here is my current version

    • RE: VOXL ESC scripts over VOXL2

      @modaltb Yeah no LEDs or sound. Can't arm. I don't have complete access to the wires on this UAV so it could just be a lose wire. I went to the motor data sheet but they didn't seem to run those tests. Just thought I'd ask in case you knew anything off the top of your head. Also, let me double check the px4-voxl service is not exiting early. That might be it

    • RE: VOXL ESC scripts over VOXL2

      @modaltb Also, we bumped our VOXL2 UAV into a desk. We had a VOXL ESC V2 connected to it. Nothing was broken after the bump, but the VOXL ESC V2 won't power on again. It was a pretty light crash. I am wondering if I had set the RPM too high and when it bumped into the desk it overloaded the ESC and it just gave out? Not sure how fragile those boards are, but they are just a circuit board. I have a feeling we did something wrong on our end.
