    Hello @Alex-Kushleyev , This is exactly what we needed ... thank you for turning the combined flip + GNSS-fix driver around so fast! Confirming our plan against your docs: We're on the encoded (ISP) path ... large_encoded for the pilot's low-latency FPV feed, not MISP ... so the ISP should pull the reversed bayer from the flip sensormodule and debayer correctly (no R/B swap). We'll run the version-agnostic combo: the flip sensormodule + en_rotate = true, plus maxRAWSizes=20 in camxoverridesettings.txt. Bit rate: going with 2088 Mbps. Our GNSS is a Septentrio mosaic dual-antenna running moving-baseline heading, so GPS L1 integrity is critical for us ... your analysis showing 2088 sitting ~10 MHz off L1 center with only a 1–2 dB drop is exactly the margin we need. We'll keep our FPV mode clear of the three forced-2200 modes (staying 1080p ≤120 fps). We'll validate by logging the Septentrio C/N0 and satellite count with the camera streaming vs. off, in representative daylight (noting your point that under-exposed frames worsen the interference). One quick check: for our single hires IMX412 on the M0173, is the default i2c 0x34 the right choice, or is there a scenario where we'd want the 0x20 variant? I'll report back the before/after GNSS numbers once we've tested ... happy to share the data if it's useful. Thanks again, John

    @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.

    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
