    following up on this @eric-katzfey is there any recommended path to get narrow FOV cameras on the VOXL2/VOXL2 mini outside of VOXL2 ecosystem. Is USB the only path?

    @Moderator Update: Issue appears to be resolved. I disassembled the VOXL2, WiFi board (M0213), and ESC connections, cleaned the connectors and contacts, and then reassembled everything. After reassembly, the system has been working normally. I've completed multiple test flights without experiencing any random reboots or WiFi disconnections. It seems the issue may have been caused by poor electrical contact or loose connections, although the exact cause has not been confirmed. Thanks for your help!

    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]

    Update on this, I tried following this post which has helped before, but it also did not help in this case: https://forum.modalai.com/topic/2789/voxl2-stuck-in-fastboot?_=1792769614627 So I tried SDK 1.8.0’s flash-system-image.sh -f: all writes completed, but both boot slots became unbootable and ADB never returned. RAM boot of either M0054-1 kernel (var00.0 or var00.1) fails with Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error.

    Could you send the output of voxl-version? The .ulg from the PX4 flight and the full mapper journal would also be helpful.

    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!
