QGroundControl

Configuration of the VOXL Flight is fully supported by QGroundControl 4.0.

PX4 Parameter Files

Parameter files are available for reference:

System Defaults

The following describe the system defaults, as specified by boards/modalai/fc-v1/init/rc.board_defaults

Safety Switch Disabled

The saftety switch can be ‘pressed’ by pulling J13 pin 5 up to 3.3V (which is provided by J13 pin 1). By default, we have the safety switch disabled, but it can be enabled via QGroundControl by setting CBRK_IO_SAFETY to 0.

MAVLink Instance 1

• configured by default at TELEM2 (exposed at J1) at 921600 baud in Normal mode
• this is intended as the primary serial interface to communicate with VOXL
• this is configurable by the user, except on VOXL Flight, since it’s in the PCB
