    Hello, I wanted to get access to dyno test data for the Starling 2 Max drone motors and propellers. I noticed that this was previously available in the voxl gitlab "dyno_data" repo as mentioned in some prior posts (Propellor Coefficients for Starling V2, M500 Drone Parameters, What is the maximum thrust that one rotor can generate?), but all links to this repo result in a "Page Not Found" error for me. Has this data moved to another repo, and if so may I have an updated link? Thank you!

    Hi Sir,

    How can I get the "Image Sensor Hardware Design and Integration Guide" documents.

    Thanks!

    @Plingaas02 Regarding odometry in voxl-mavlink-server, it will not modify timestamps on this message. There will be, potentially, VIO odometry messages going to the flight controller from voxl-vision-hub via voxl-mavlink-server and flight controller odometry messages being routed out to the GCS and to the onboard stream. The odometry messages coming from PX4 will have the DSP monotonic timestamp which is different than the Linux monotonic clock and these will drift with respect to each other over time. PX4 runs the timesync service so it can correct the incoming messages from VIO.

    @cguzikowski , quick question for you. For your application, does it matter how much time (reasonable) it takes to debayer the image? some of my offline processing scripts are not optimized for real-time operation, but are very flexible to use and the full resolution image from ov64b is huge and it may take a few seconds to process without optimizations.

    We also have opencl code that runs offline pretty quick on an nvidia GPU, but it does not have as many tuning knobs.

    I guess it all depends on whether you are using the images right on the voxl2 or just collecting and analyzing offline at a later time.

    Hello,

    I’m currently designing a compact indoor-use kit around the Starling 2 platform, specifically the Starling 2, not the Starling 2 Max.

    I would like to add a few additional lightweight sensors to the drone, but I could not find a clear specification in the datasheet for the available payload capacity or recommended payload margin.

    Could you please clarify:

    What is the maximum recommended additional payload for the Starling 2? Is the published drone weight already close to the practical lift limit, or is there usable margin for small external sensors? Are there any recommended limits regarding added mass, mounting location, or center-of-gravity shift? Would adding small sensors affect flight stability, flight time, or PX4 tuning in a way that you recommend avoiding? Do you have any other compact indoor-capable drone models that may be better suited for carrying additional sensors while still staying smaller than the Starling 2 Max? (Maybe the Stinger FPV?)

    At this stage I am still in the design phase, so I do not yet have flight logs. I can share the planned sensor weights, mounting concept, and pictures/CAD layout if that would help.

    Thanks in advance
