9.2
Display is stuck "Camera USB Connecting"
When this happens it means the DROTAG is correctly booting but not taking over the camera. This may
mean that the main program is not running. Possible actions are:
1. View hidden files in the microSD card and try to check if the executable ./telepresence_gstreamer
is there. If it is not, you may have inadvertently deleted it. Please contact us.
2. Power cycle the
DROTAG
board and wait 30 seconds. The screen should disappear.
9.3
Display is stuck on "Check Connect Device"
This means the DROTAG did not boot at all even though the USB has power.
1. Verify the card is correctly seated in the DROTAG board.
2. Verify that all the hidden files are present: acme-arietta.dtb, boot.bin, full_gpio.dtb, OPERATION.LOG,
wpa_supplicant, zImage. If any of these are not present contact us so we can provide you with the
files.

Further Information
DROTAG
relies on several open source projects. Airborne Projects takes open source licenses very
seriously and we have a public repository for the modifications made to the open source projects it relies
on, fulfilling the clauses of GNU Public License and Lesser GNU Public License where applicable. We
are not a company of lawyers so if we made any licensing mistake let us know so we can correct it as
soon as possible.
Appendix A
How to update DROTAG’s firmware
To update the firmware you just need to contact us through [email protected] and request the
new application binary. When you receive the application binary just copy it to the root of the microSD
card and replace the previous one. Nothing else should be necessary, unless an amend is published in
this manual.
Appendix B

This is not an exhaustive list. It serves as a reference for the cameras we guarantee the DROTAG works
with.
