@Alex-Kushleyev thanks for the update. Is it possible to use the PWM ports too?

@Alex-Kushleyev I use a Flysky FS-I6S 10ch 2.4G AFHDS 2A RC Transmitter and a RC Receiver, Flysky FS-A8S 2.4G 8CH Mini Receiver w/PPM i-Bus SBUS Output This is the same setup I used a year ago with the first Voxl IO and it used to work fine.

Yes, in QGC there is a delay when I move the sticks. Sometimes it doesn't even show the movement the first time.

Hi @Alex-Kushleyev and @Jacob-Camarillo , thanks! Somehow it worked, now the RC is connected, however there is a significant delay which caused a crash. The "RC Loss failsafe trigger" was activated at < 0.5s every 4 seconds so I was not even able to arm. Then I increased it to 1s, which wasn't ideal from the start and I lost connection for a longer time when I was flying. Is there a way to fix this?

Also, I don't know if it's related, but on a position control flight, the drone didn't react when I sent it to the right or left. I checked the local position and qvio while I moved the drone manually and all looked fine. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi @Jacob-Camarillo , thanks for your response. This is what I have in the /etc/modalai/voxl-px4.conf file:

This is the output of qshell voxl2_io status:

Hi, I have a new Voxl IO board that is connected to the J19 port on a Voxl 2 and I also have a Voxl ESC. This is the same setup I used to use over a year ago, but now I have a new Voxl IO board and I updated the SDK to 1.2.0 but it doesn't work anymore. Link

The Voxl IO has a solid orange LED light (the blue LED is off), which I assume is the problem. Do I need to configure the UART port because I'm using the J19 port? If so, can you tell me how to do it?

Thanks!

Hi @modaltb, is there any updates on this?

Hi, I was using SDK 0.9.5 with VOXL IO where I had connected an S-BUS RC and a servo. Now, it seems that the VOXL IO is stuck in standby mode. How can i solve this problem?

-Thanks!

@Eric-Katzfey Hi, just wanted to ask if you can help me to connect VOXL 2 I/O or any other device that uses a UART port to the J9 on the 5G modem.

@tom Any advice? I still can't connect any device to the J9 UART port in the 5G modem

@tom I was able to connect Voxl 2 I/O using the J19 UART on Voxl 2 (proving that the Voxl I/O works), but none of the devices I've tried connecting to the J9 port on the 5G modem have worked so far. The problem is "how to connect any device to J9 port on the 5G modem"

@tom Thanks! I followed the instructions, but the Voxl 2 I/O is still in waiting mode. This is a screenshot of the voxl-mavlink-server.conf file and the voxl-mavlink-server status, it's enable and running. Please let me know how to fix this.

I'm using voxl-suite: 0.9.5

Hi everyone, I have been trying to connect the VOXL 2 I/O to the J9 UART/I2C port on the 5G modem but it doesn't work. Is there a way to use the UART port on the 5G modem?

Hi, please I’d like how I can update px4 to 1.14 version?

Hi @Alex-Gardner this is the screenshot of voxl_pc_out in voxl-portal, at the same time this is the output of voxl-vision-px4 -s and this is the screenshot /etc/modalai/extrinsics.conf

@Alex-Gardner I'm wondering if you can help me solve this problem or is there someone else on the development team who can provide support?

Hi @Alex-Gardner , is there any other file I should upload?

Hi @Alex-Gardner, sure! This is the configuration of /etc/modalai/voxl-vision-px4.conf.
If there is any other parameter that can be improved please let me know

Hi, I'd like to know if is it possible to use a ToF sensor for obstacle avoidance with voxl2. To give you more context, when I run voxl-inspect-tof I get the correct distance measurements. I modified /etc/modalai/voxl-vision-px4.conf , where "en_voa" is set to true and "voa_inouts" only accepts "tof".

To verify that this is working I run voxl-vision-px4 -s but all distances are none. Please let me know how I can fix this.

Also, is it possible to see objects with a shorter range using ToF, like around 1m?
