CICD SDK
I have created some software that runs on the voxl.
I used the VOXL-CROSS template here: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/voxl-cross-template
for all of my projects.
Now, I would like to have a CICD run that pulls them down and wraps them in my own SDK if you will.
I was curious if there is a recommended way to do this. I understand VOXL-SDK is built with CICD in mind. Is there a template I can use to do the same.

RE: Which kernel should I flash? PLEASE SELECT WHICH KERNEL TO FLASH
Choose Option 1 if you DO NOT have the camera board attached
Choose Option 2 if you are using the camera board

Which one should I pick????

FAILED TO WRITE CONFIG TO DISK
We are getting an error when writing configs to disk.
I assumed that it was an issue with writing data to a partition in memory that was not allowing a write at that time.
We are able to resolve it by power cycling, but while in production, it becomes a hang up when putting units together.
Curious if there are commands (ex:
sync
) or things that we can do to get rid of this behavior. Thanks! -
RE: Flow Server
- Yes this is definitely possible
- You would need to modify flow-server and possibly feature-tracker to ensure this is pointed at the right pipe
- Might also need a bit of calibration here and there
- Have not tested having multiple versions of flow-server, but should be possible.
- Would need to ensure this works with a downard facing tof for accurate height estimate
To get a rough draft of this working, would take ~2 days

Flow Server
Hello,
Had a general question about flow server
- It appears that the flow server is optimized for the lepton, but was curious what the lift would be to get it working with another camera. I see I can change the pipeline:
Wondering if there are any more "gotchas" besides changing the camera pipe and resolution
- multi-flow: I understand that voxl-flow-server only allows for one camera stream at a time. Is there anything preventing us from spinning up multiple instances of it in order to have multiple flows running?
Thank you!

RE: Hadron <> Gremsy VOXL2 Mini
@Rocio-Lopez Not sure.
You would have to ask Gremsy about that possibly

RE: Starling 2 Max Thrust
From James (the guy who set the parameter)
feel free to increase it. Starling 2 Max has a very high power to weight ratio so I artificially calmed it down by limiting throttle
-
Starling 2 Max Thrust
Hello,
I am looking into increasing the max thrust on starling 2 max. Currently it is set to 60%. Wanted to increase it to 100%.
I IMAGINE that it is set to 60% to ensure that the motors do not overdraw from the LION batteries, but wanted to ensure that was the case. -
Hadron <> Gremsy VOXL2 Mini
Hello,
So, we are able to do the voxl 2 mini to hadron. Which is awesome!
However, it would be even cooler to have a converter off of the gremsy hadron gimbal in order to add the voxl2 mini's power onto a smaller camera/gimbal setup.
Here is a video that better describes what I mean

RE: Color Tracking Camera w/ Global Shutter
A color AR0144 exists, but there is no current integration readily available
-
Color Tracking Camera w/ Global Shutter
Hello,
We were curious if there is a way to integrate a color tracking camera (or if there is even a color tracking camera that exists).
The reason being, is that for extremely small UAVs it would be ideal to have 1 tracking camera that is- being used for VIO
- being used as the FPV cam
- Being used to collect data of surroundings
But, to be used as an FPV cam and data collection the camera would have to be color.
Thank you!

Hadron Boards to order
Hello, I would like to order the boards/connectors for integrating the FLIR Hadron
M0159
M0181
coax cables between those the boards
M0155However, I can not seem to find them on the store.
These boards are also referenced in these docs: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-hadron/

RE: Compass Errors
@groupo We also had this issue, but we had modified the sentinel and was found to be more due to vibrations

RE: Compass failures
Nevermind, was being talked about in https://forum.modalai.com/topic/4121/compass-errors
