The pipes that voxl-camera-server publishes should be accessible in a Docker. You should be able to access them that way inside of a Docker. A voxl-mpa-to-ros2 service would be a good addition, we don't have that implemented yet.

RE: RB5 Kit + SDK queries
Hi Cris, some answers to your questions:
- Ubuntu 18.04 for the time being (datasheet).
- ROS 1 and 2 are easily installed. Examples are pending. Current SDK is documented here
- The image sensors are available via gstreamer. We will have an IMU API soon.
- Soft AP and station mode are supported (docs)
- VNC/GUI - we have not tried this, but it's Ubuntu so it seems likely something could be tried
- See datasheet for architecture. Yes, there is an SD Card slot.
- The kit comes with everything shown here, the 5G modem is optional.
- The 4G add-on, 5G add-on, Microhard add-on are all optionally supported.

RE: Shipping to Australia
We have not had a problem shipping directly to Australia.

RE: Voxl - Snapdragon model and supported camera configurations
Your understanding is correct, ModalAI's supported configurations are a result of Qualcomm limitations

RE: ERROR: failed to start modalai vision lib
It would have shipped with everything tested and working. What do you mean by "passed the wizard"?

RE: High-Res Camera Blurry
The lens is fixed focus, but if you twist the little black part of the lens you should be able to focus.

RE: m500 cannot hovering with VIO algorithm
The system was tested in VIO mode for 20 minutes before shipping. All drones are very sensitive to frame modifications, so this needs to be done carefully
- Were you able to fly successfully before frame modifications?
- How well does it fly manually? Have you looked at the logs in manual.mode for vibration?
- Can you please share a log of the VIO output?
- If you reset all of the software, you may need to recalibrate the cameras
- It looks like there are loose parts hanging off of the drone. VIO is VERY sensitive to vibration. Can you revert your frame modifications and try again?

RE: Unbricking fails due to "protocol error"
Are you flipping the fastboot switch back? Your symptom is consistent with leaving the fastboot switch engaged instead of setting it back to normal after a few seconds
Might be worth watching the tutorial here if you're unsure

RE: stereo camera down
We do not have a thermal option available today, though the Flir Boson and Lepton have been integrated by customers in the past using USB
Stereo cameras need to be co-planar and mounted rigidly. Then they need to be calibrated. Otherwise you should be able to mount wherever convenient

RE: Sentinel Drone Rangefinder
Hi Erik, thanks for pointing that out. It was a mistake, it has now been fixed as there are no CH-201 sensors

RE: VIO/VOA with ArduCopter
@MattK The VOXL SDK is common between VOXL CAM, VOXL 1 and VOXL 2, so the same messages will be sent in the same manner between VOXL and the flight controller over mavlink

RE: Help with Voxl2 PID Tune problem
@bensusana which version of px4 are you running? PX4 changed the px4io protocol in 1.14 and that board will no longer work correctly. You should connect your csrf receiver directly to VOXL 2 if using PX4 1.14

RE: Reference frames extrinsics clarification
@tiralonghipol yes, the ToF is rotated per the extrinsics. You will need to modify your urdf to match

RE: voxl-dfs-server Crashes
@esaldiran can you take a picture or draw a diagram of your setup? Have you changed any cabling? It has to be a specific way

RE: Starling with Doodle Radio
The website was incorrect, it has been fixed
There is not a version of Startling pet support Doodle labs radios
You may be able to design an adapter yourself, but it is not clear. The drone would fly appropriately with that much additional weight
