Qualcomm Flight RB5 SDK Chirp Server
Table of contents
rb5-chirp-server
The rb5-chirp-server service publishes range data from the vehicle’s two chirp ultrasonic distance sensors to a named pipe.
The Qualcomm Flight RB5 SDK is the original software stack that shipped on the vehicle. The Qualcomm Flight RB5 is now supported by the VOXL SDK, which replaces these
rb5-*services. See the VOXL SDK for RB5 Upgrade Guide.
Current equivalent
The VOXL SDK handles distance sensors through the services described in the Rangefinders feature guide.
