Supported Devices

The voxl-px4 package is supported on the following platforms:

  • VOXL 2 Mini (board ID M0104)
  • VOXL 2 (board ID M0054)

Hardware Block Diagrams

Below are hardware block diagrams that show the VOXL 2 and VOXL 2 Mini in supported architectures used to facilitate robotics applications. Many other variations are possible.

Minimum Setup Option

Minimum requirements are (e.g. to play around at your desk)

  • VOXL 2 Development Kit (MDK-M0054-1-01)
    • VOXL 2 (MDK-M0054-1-00)
    • VOXL Power Module (MDK-M0041-1-B-00)
    • Power cable (MCBL-00001-1)
  • Power supply 12V 3A ((MPS-00005-1), XT60) (or 2S-6S battery)
    • Note: inrush current on bootup requires 30W power supply min, nominally ~8W at runtime in beta
  • Host PC with Android Debug Bridge
  • USBC cable

Setup to Connect to Ground Control Station

Additionally/Optionally (e.g. to connect to Ground Control Station):

Setup for Bringup and Manual Flight

Additionally/Optionally (e.g. to fly manual modes, testing and bringup):

  • ModalAI 4-in-1 UART ESC (M0049)
  • GPS/Mag/Spektrum RC input wiring harness (MSA-D0006-1-00) - or make your own 12-pin JST GH connector (pinouts)
  • the actual GPS/Mag/Spektrum RC* receiver hardware
  • Frame/Motors/Props/etc
