    I recently came across the ModalAI Starling 2 Logis drone deployment featured in the Gather AI warehouse inventory project (https://www.automatedwarehouseonline.com/gather-ai-uses-modalai-starling-2-logis-drones-warehouse-inventory-data/). The use case is very compelling, and I was impressed by the platform's capabilities for autonomous indoor operations and data collection. At our company, we are developing an autonomous system for warehouse inventory intelligence using drones and AI. We are actively evaluating technologies that could support us going to the market faster. I would be interested in learning more about the Starling 2 Logis platform, its hardware architecture, autonomy stack, and potential collaboration opportunities. After reviewing the requirements, I would like to learn more about the Starling 2 platform, especially regarding autonomous navigation. More specifically: If I have an exact map of the warehouse (a PDF of the warehouse plan or a 3D digital twin of the warehouse), do you offer a feature that can generate a trajectory through multiple waypoints? For example: go to waypoint 1, stop for 1 s, take an image; move to waypoint 2, stop for 1 s, take an image; etc.? Can you discuss the accuracy of your VIO algorithm (horizontal, vertical, yaw) and whether specific lighting conditions are required? Thank you in advance!

    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!

    Yes, there is ground, power, and the transmit line from the receiver. The receive line to the receiver is not connected. But this is a 4 wire UART.

    Hey @arvind_g3aero So, it does look like you were able to get this working with the dev release of voxl-camera-server which is great to hear. The natural progression of a software package is through dev-> staging -> release. So, this version of voxl-camera-server will be released in a future SDK. There will most likely not be a backport onto the 1.6.2 SDK

    Hi ModalAI team, We are planning a 7-port USB 2.0 hub for VOXL 2, connected through J3, using the Microchip USB2517. We wanted to use this to connect more sensors and USB cameras to the VOXL 2 board. I’m following the USB expansion guidance in the VOXL 2 Expansion Design Guide and wanted to ask: Do you have a reference schematic for a USB 2.0 hub connected to J3 that you could share? The guide mentions that ModalAI may review customer expansion-board designs. Once I have my schematic ready, would you be willing to review it before I proceed to PCB layout? Thank you in advance!
