    @Colby-Howell Thanks for providing that information. Was it just one battery that was faulty? If so, we will ship a replacement battery to you. Please provide your original order number so we can look up your information.

    Hello. Can a Starling 2 drone autonomously fly while flying over the pipe inside a sewer? The drone must fly autonomously in a dark place to inspect cracks or internal conditions while flying along the water pipe. I'm not sure if this feature can run on Starling, so I'm asking for help!

    @Maxwell-Schaefer Does the ExpressLRS receiver require different wiring than our existing ghst atto? I can reconnect/patch the 3 wires for power, gnd and data, but I'm not sure I can add connections to the J19 plug easily. To be clear, we're using the Sentinel platform, J19 has GPS and the receiver connection. We're also still using SDK 1.4 that shipped on our replacement VOXL2. Thank you.

    Hi ModalAI team, I’m developing a sub-250 g UAV and am trying to determine the lightest practical VOXL 2 / VOXL 2 Mini camera and sensor architecture for the aircraft. The target payload functions are: Daylight RGB video / imaging FLIR Boson+ 320 thermal video Camera input required for reliable VIO / navigation Lowest possible total camera, adapter, cabling, and interposer mass I am specifically trying to avoid carrying unnecessary stereo, ToF, or additional cameras if they are not required. Could you recommend the exact minimum hardware stack you would use for this application? In particular: For reliable VIO, can we use a single tracking camera, or is a stereo pair required/recommended? Which current ModalAI tracking camera/module would give the lowest installed mass? For RGB imaging, what is the lightest currently supported color camera/module that can provide useful daylight video? For a Boson+ 320, is the current recommended connection still: Boson → M0201 → coax → M0181 → VOXL 2 J8? Can the Boson, RGB camera, and minimum VIO camera configuration operate simultaneously on one VOXL 2 / VOXL 2 Mini? If yes, could you provide the exact ModalAI part numbers/interposers/cables required and, if available, approximate individual masses? Is there a supported camera configuration close to this, or would it require a custom voxl-camera-server configuration? The aircraft has a very tight mass budget, so I am trying to establish the absolute minimum viable sensor stack rather than starting from one of the larger development-kit camera configurations. Thanks, Yisrael

    Hi @saegsali yes, I can help with this. Sorry for the delay in responding here... I will email you to enable the schematic transfer and review setup. For your schematic, these items will ensure a speedy and seamless review: Searchable PDF All items annotated and page numbers correct Off page references if multi-page Caps and R's should have their ratings visible (voltages, power, values) A simple block diagram to help me understand what you are trying to do. Thanks!
