Summary

We are working to expand the capabilities of VOXL 2 every day. The built-in PX4 flight controller enables industry leading SWAP for an autonomous flight controller, but not every interface and flight controller are supported yet. This page provides an overview of available connectivity. If this connectivity is insufficient for your application, VOXL 2 is a world-class companion computer for autonomous navigation and AI when paired with an external flight controller.

Software

Setting PX4 to Use CRSF

See file at /etc/modalai/voxl-px4.conf.

This file is loaded from boards/modalai/voxl2/target/voxl-px4.

The previous script calls this script with command line args to start CRSF, boards/modalai/voxl2/target/voxl-px4-start.

Checking Status

The px4-listener input_rc or px4-listener rc_channels command can be used to trouble shoot, if neither have been published it’s likely the receiver has yet to get RC data or the serial link isn’t working.
