I finished the initial setup and ubuntu system installation.

but the motors do not arm when I followed the procedure on the operation manual.

Thanks for you help.

Hi Xupei,
Thank you for your interest in the Intel Aero drone.
Could you tell me the output of this command aero-get-version.py ?
Can you also tell me where are you trying to fly the drone and which flight mode are you using?
Did you re-calibrate the drone after installing Ubuntu?
Please make sure that the GPS antenna is correctly positioned.
Regards,
Alexandra

I'm having the same problem. I can arm the drone programmatically by sending the MAV_CMD_COMPONENT_ARM_DISARM message to pymavlink, and I can make the drone takeoff and land via QGroundControl running on my tablet, but I can't do anything with my Spektrum DXe. I followed the steps on https://github.com/intel-aero/meta-intel-aero/wiki/03-First-flight 03 First Flight, and the orange LED on the bottom of the drone is solid (not blinking) and the orange LED on the DXe is also solid (not blinking). I flipped the control to ARM and held the throttle control to the bottom right for at least 2 seconds, but the motors did not turn on. I've tried all three flight modes, 0, 1, and 2.
This is my output from aero-get-version.py
BIOS_VERSION = Aero-01.00.13
OS_VERSION = Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS"
AIRMAP_VERSION = unknown
FPGA_VERSION = 0xc2
AeroFC firmware version = unknown

Hi JoshDavisNC,
The flight controller firmware shows as unknown.
Please flash your flight controller following these steps:

Hi tuantuan91,
If you're using Ubuntu, you are probably connected to the same network with variable IPs. Get your laptop IP and run on Aero:
sudo mkdir /etc/mavlink-router/config.d
- create this file:
sudo gedit /etc/mavlink-router/config.d/qgc.conf
and fill it with:
[UdpEndpoint wifi] Mode = Normal Address = [your IP]
- restart the router:
sudo systemctl restart mavlink-router
- launch QGroundControl on your laptop. It should receive automatically the telemetry feed from the drone.
- try re-calibrating the drone following these steps:

Hi Alex
In fact I tried this method to connect the drone and my laptop.but it was failed.
maybe there are something wrong with the network.I'll try it again.
Do you mean that after recalibration the drone can fly?
BTW can I get the camera parameters(like the force length) by using the QGC?
Thanks for you help.
Thanks

aerofc-force-bootloader-pin.py 0That command is already being executed as part of the aerofc-update.sh, but I ran it again manually and it still says unknown.

Hi tuantuan91,
Please make sure you followed all the steps in this link https://github.com/intel-aero/meta-intel-aero/wiki/03-First-flight and tell me if it still doesn't work.
Regarding your question about the parameters in QGC, I think you will find this link helpful:
https://docs.qgroundcontrol.com/en/SetupView/Parameters.html
Hi JoshDavisNC,
I suggest you to try updating the BIOS.
Can you also tell me if you get the same issue with Ardupilot?

Hi Alex
I just install the PX4 as your link:https://github.com/intel-aero/meta-intel-aero/wiki/90-(References)-OS-user-Installation 90 (References) OS user Installation · intel-aero/meta-intel-aero Wiki · GitHub .
I haven't seen that I need to install Ardupilot in this link.
for now I don't know if the issue is the same in Ardupilot.
Thanks

Hi Alex
I try to find it in QGC.
but those parameters are not what I'm looking for.
So I wondering if you know other way to get the camera parameters like focal length.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Alex
I want to use the drone for visual slam development.
So those parameters are very important to me.
I also want to know how to get the extrinsic parameters between IMU and camera.
BTW in ubuntu16.04 the downward and rotatable camera are not available.Do you have plan to fix this problem?
Thanks

Hi Alex
I'm confused by one problem.
Do all the cameras are available in ubuntu?
I mean the downward camera and the front rotatable camera.
Thanks
