Check Calibration

Run this command to check the calibration status of your VOXL:

voxl2:/$ voxl-check-calibration

The tool also accepts -q/--quiet and -j/--json flags for scripted use.

Dev drones should come pre-calibrated, in which case you should expect an output like this (these particular examples are from a Starling drone):

voxl2:/$ voxl-check-calibration
Calibration File Status:
Present /data/modalai/voxl-imu-server.cal
Present /data/modalai/opencv_tracking_intrinsics.yml
Present /data/px4/param/parameters_gyro.cal
Present /data/px4/param/parameters_acc.cal
Present /data/px4/param/parameters_mag.cal
Present /data/px4/param/parameters_level.cal

All Required Calibration Files Present

The exact calibration files necessary varies with different hardware and is determined automatically based on the SKU contained in the /data/modalai/sku.txt file onboard the VOXL.

If you lost your calibration files or are starting from a bare VOXL boards, you should expect an output like this:

voxl2:/$ voxl-check-calibration
Calibration File Status:
Missing /data/modalai/voxl-imu-server.cal
Missing /data/px4/param/parameters_gyro.cal
Missing /data/px4/param/parameters_acc.cal
Missing /data/px4/param/parameters_level.cal
Missing /data/px4/param/parameters_mag.cal
