Hi @김다연 The INA260 is not supported. M0041 is designed around the INA231 and our power monitoring software expects that part. The two are not drop-in compatible. They differ in register map, device ID, and the INA260 has an integrated shunt rather than the external shunt the M0041 uses, so it is a board change as well as a driver change. Supporting it would require a new driver and a new M0041 variant, neither of which exist. If you need power monitoring on VOXL 2, use M0041 as designed, or take battery voltage and current telemetry from our ESCs, which report it over the ESC UART.

Hi @김다연 Both are enabled by default. If a QUP appears in the table with a device node, it is enabled in the shipped image. No device tree changes or additional hardware configuration required. UART7, J3 pins 3 and 5, /dev/ttyHS1, sys image 1.3+ UART13, J5 pins 97 and 98, /dev/ttyHS3, sys image 1.5+ Full table: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-qups/ Note UART13 requires system image 1.5 or newer. Check voxl-version on your unit before wiring it up.

On the Wi-Fi questions: The -M36 option ships with an Alfa Network AWUS036EACS (802.11ac AC600, dual band 2.4/5 GHz, Realtek chipset, made in Taiwan). It is listed on the Starling 2 Max datasheet. Yes, you can use a different USB adapter, as long as the VOXL 2 kernel has a driver for its chipset. You cannot install arbitrary vendor drivers without rebuilding kernel modules, so pick an adapter based on one of the Realtek chipsets we support: RTL8812AU or RTL8821CU / RTL8811CU. The adapters we have tested are listed on the VOXL 2 WiFi Setup page. If you find a Japan-certified (Giteki) adapter with one of those chipsets, it should work with voxl-wifi in both Station and SoftAP mode. If you cannot find a certified adapter with a supported chipset, another option is a USB-to-Ethernet adapter on VOXL 2 connected to a small Japan-certified Wi-Fi bridge or travel router on the drone. VOXL 2 only sees Ethernet, so there are no driver constraints. In SoftAP mode the default hostapd country code is US. For use in Japan, set country_code=JP in /data/misc/wifi/hostapd.conf after running voxl-wifi so the radio uses Japanese channel and power rules.

@qqa , we have document how to achieve folder-level encryption on VOXL2 here : https://docs.modalai.com/enabling-file-encryption/ . Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Sorry @senja for the delays, this post did not get flagged for me. Yes, they install on different sides of the VOXL 2 board as shown here: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-connectors/#connector-callouts [image: 1792693889198-9a619597-c0ad-460a-b43a-c0689c8a0aab-image.jpeg] https://docs.modalai.com/M0226/#overview [image: 1792693659205-3064b401-56ca-4e7d-973c-0fe9c3ebe5cc-image.jpeg] https://docs.modalai.com/m0062-datasheet/#connector-callouts [image: 1792693766032-bc42a15b-8021-47f4-a9b6-534603ed8399-image.jpeg]

Thanks Tom and Eric, finally resolved this, it ended up being a power supply issue. The unit we used to typically run it on the bench seemingly browned out somewhere in the flashing procedure.

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!

Hello everyone, I am looking for some expert advice on a VOXL 2 companion computer setup for a long-range platform. I have two main integration challenges: Challenge A: VIO at Higher Altitudes To solve the motion blur and pixel density issues at higher altitudes, I am planning a 6-camera configuration. I want to use 4 downward-facing sensors (2 daylight + 2 IR) equipped with narrow-angle lenses, alongside 2 standard wide-angle sensors (front and rear). Could you advise on the best supported sensors (e.g., IMX series) for this? Has anyone successfully tuned the voxl-qvio-server for narrow-angle lenses, and what were the altitude limits you achieved? Challenge B: LAN Integration & WireGuard The payload data flow will be: External RTSP Camera -> Ethernet -> VOXL 2 (WireGuard encryption) -> Ethernet -> Digital RX. Because VOXL 2 lacks multiple LAN ports, I will need a miniature industrial Ethernet switch. Does ModalAI have any tested hardware recommendations for this? Furthermore, what is the best practice for routing this VPN traffic through the VOXL 2 Ubuntu environment without bottlenecking the CPU? We are currently evaluating the VOXL 2 for a broader fleet deployment and want to ensure the ecosystem can support this custom optics requirement. Any feedback on off-the-shelf solutions or standard configurations for this use case would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi @alex-z-1 Here is the STEP for the front tracking mount: https://storage.googleapis.com/modalai_public/modal_drawings/D0013_Front Tracking Mount.step Note this is the V1 plastic. The V1 Stinger has been EOL for some time, so this came out of archived CAD rather than a current release. One observation from your photos: the film is still on the battery pad. That likely contributed to the battery stop breaking, though it would not have saved the camera housing. Let us know if this helps!
