    @Alex-Kushleyev I made the following changes.

    Modified the DTS files as stated prior. Flashed the devcfg.mbn file from SDK 1.0.0 I did not need to configure the level shifter actually. The port worked in SPI mode even without running voxl-gpio -w 67 1. Running the command doesn't seem to change anything.

    I used Channel 1 on /dev/i2c-0 for the second lepton. I simply wrote TCA9543A_CHANNEL_1_ENABLE to TCA9543A_CONTROL_REGISTER in voxl-lepton-server. I pretty much followed what was described here.

    Hello,
    I am currently using Starling 2 and Starling 2 Max for our experiments, and we need to document their specifications. Could you please provide the following information?

    Starling 2
    Maximum flight range
    Maximum speed

    Starling 2 Max
    Maximum flight range

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Re: Starling 2 Max no GPS data
    Re: Poor GPS Fix

    Dear ModalAI Support Team,

    We are encountering similar GPS issues with the Starling 2 platform. After reviewing various forum posts and discussions, we have found multiple proposed solutions; however, the information appears fragmented and in some cases outdated.

    Could you please provide an updated summary of the current recommended short-term mitigations and any permanent fixes? Additionally, is there an official channel (e.g., release notes, issue tracker, or mailing list) where ongoing updates regarding this issue are communicated?

    Thank you for your assistance.

    @Alex-Kushleyev sure thing. As per your suggestion, I modified voxl-lepton-server by moving all the Lepton camera-specific logic into a C++ class and added locks to any I2C operations to prevent race conditions. I then just created 2 instances of the LeptonCamera class I made which parse and publish the camera feeds to their own pipes which I can view in voxl-portal.

    I didn't need to disable any I2C interface for the second Lepton. I'm not too sure what you were referring to by that.

    In regards to the horizontal line artifacts, those don't seems to consistently appear and I don't know what causes it. I'll investigate it further.

    My next steps are to get the Leptons working with voxl-open-vins-server. One question I had was that our VOXL 2 Mini appears to be running a service called voxl-lepton-tracker however I cannot find the source code for this anywhere on the voxl public GitLab. Was it removed or hidden?
