    Hello ModalAI Team, We are evaluating the VOXL2 Max / Max2 platform for an indoor autonomous drone project in Japan. I searched the forum but could not find clear information regarding compliance with Japanese radio regulations. Could you please help clarify the following questions? Wi-Fi Is the Wi-Fi module used in VOXL2 Max / Max2 certified for use in Japan? If not, is there a recommended Wi-Fi module that is compliant with Japanese radio regulations? Country code Is setting the country code using iw reg set JP sufficient for legal operation in Japan, or is a different Wi-Fi module required? Remote Controller I found a forum post explaining that the Ghost receiver can be replaced with an ELRS receiver. Is there an officially recommended RC receiver configuration for customers in Japan? Ethernet operation Is it possible to configure and operate VOXL2 Max / Max2 entirely through Ethernet without using Wi-Fi after the initial setup? Customers in Japan Are there any customers currently using VOXL2 Max / Max2 in Japan? If so, are there any recommended hardware configurations for Japan? Our application is indoor autonomous flight using VIO/VSLAM, so GPS is not required. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. Best regards,

    @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.

    Hello, I am interested in purchasing the ModalAI Starling 2 for an indoor, GPS-denied autonomous drone project I am currently working on. However, I am unable to locate the Starling 2 on your online store. Could you kindly assist me with the ordering process and let me know whether the product is currently available for purchase?

    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
