    VOXL2 does not seem to have damage. Looks like it turned on like normal with the replacement part.

    @JB1 Our voxl-remote-id software with WiFi dongle is intended only for reference and is not meant to be a commercially ready system for our customers who need a remote id solution for their VOXL2 based drone products. Integration, testing, validation, and FAA registration with desired hardware is up to the end user. At a minimum the manufacturer id would need to be changed from ModalAI's id to your companies issued manufacturer id.

    @alex-kushleyev @eric-katzfey Apologies for the direct mention — I hope you don't mind. I posted this question set about two weeks ago (and a related product question three weeks ago), but haven't heard back yet. We are preparing to purchase a Starling 2 Max (C29, with the PMD ToF) as an evaluation unit for an indoor GPS-denied inspection project, and just three answers would unblock our decision: Can VOXL SLAM / VOA (with the dense PMD ToF on the C29 configuration) reliably handle very narrow corridors — around 300 mm width? Any references to pipe/industrial inspection use cases in similar tight spaces would be very helpful. For repeated missions in the same indoor space, is voxl-mapper + AprilTag re-localization the recommended pattern to bound Open-VINS drift (no loop closure)? What is the practical minimum illumination for reliable VIO with the tracking cameras — and do you recommend onboard IR/LED illumination for dim industrial interiors? Even brief pointers to relevant docs would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for the great platform and documentation!

    And the latest build of our fork with this fix is here: http://voxl-packages.modalai.com/dists/qrb5165/dev/binary-arm64/voxl-px4_1.14.0-2.0.146-202607161052_arm64.deb

    Hey @alex-kushleyev, good to know it holds up like that under load, and thanks again for the reply. Two things I'm trying to pin down on the Mini: Power. Can a USB port on the VOXL Mini actually supply around 2-2.5 W, and can it do that on one port while a small USB camera runs on the other? Or should I plan to power those externally? Extra camera slot. From the D0013-V2 CAD the imager board looks like 5 DF56 coax connectors with 4 used (EO + dual AR0144 + Boson+), and the Lepton is on the M0187 SPI adapter so it's off the CSI bus. Is that spare coax connector wired to a usable CSI lane, and would voxl-camera-server take a 5th sensor (an M0161) there without a custom config? Thanks, Eyal
