  Hello,

  Our customer got the 5G Antenna Replacement Kit MRP-D0004-1-06 and found that the cable of the antenna is too short when tried to install them on the Starling 2 Max.

  Is there another antenna kit that is about 5cm longer?

  Thank you.

  Best regards,Media (59).jpg

  @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.

  @jmltt The last ModalAI supported SDK on the Sentinel platform is SDK 1.5.0. Which doesn't mean that you won't success with newer SDKs, we just haven't tested with it.

  @cguzikowski ,

  Sorry for the delay.

  Regarding the new HW not working, since you have two identical setups, i would recommend swapping components to identify what exactly is not working. This is the most efficient way to diagnose it. From the logs you provided, the ov64b camera is detected and initialized, it seems, but no frames come in, which could be a cabling or interposer issue.

  I will get back to you with an update on the lens shading tomorrow.

  @Eyal ,

  I will look for an indoor flight log from a stinger. At hover, the power usage should be around 110-115W based on motor dyno tests. The peak motor current can go up to 300W (per motor), but it's not possible to have all 4 motors maxed out.

  Regarding ethernet.. It is actually possible to establish a full wired interface using the same usb interface that is used for ADB. it is a lot more efficient that using something like adb port forwarding. We have some scripts that set up the full network with NAT, when voxl2 / voxl2 mini is connected to a linux host. There is one script that enables the usb ethernet in voxl2 kernel and then there is the host side script to set up the networking and tcp/ip rules for NAT (so that voxl2 can access internet via the host) -- the NAT part is actually optional.

  Actually the first part (without NAT) is already documented here, you could try it : https://docs.modalai.com/qgc-via-adb/ -- this will give you a full tcp/ip connection to the linux host.

  For downloading log files, we get about 35-37MB/s, it seems to be a 400Mbps link. Even with 1Gbps usb3 adapters we don't get full 1Gbps, so this may be the best you can get. Can you clarify your application for the network connection?
