  @jon That looks like the DSP portion of PX4 didn't exit completely / cleanly from the previous run. What version of the SDK are you running?

  @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.

  @wilkinsaf You can disable compass with SYS_HAS_MAG = 0 and EKF2_MAG_TYPE = 5. But if you enable it and it isn't healthy you won't be able to arm. Power compensation may work, it depends on your particular drone model and use case.

  I was able to get the visual odometry message updating the PX4 EKF2 and that seems like the better path. Just to make sure I've got this set up correctly, I put the application processor time (CLOCK_MONOTONIC) into the timestamp field and the mavlink server updates the message with the appropriate PX4 kernel time before forwarding it to PX4?

  @Eyal , sorry for the delay. Here is some additional information regarding Stinger FPV:

  https://docs.modalai.com/stinger-vision-datasheet/ base weight with battery : ~570g maximum thrust per motor : 650g @ 15V, 2600g total theoretical theoretical max thrust to weight ratio: 4.5:1, lots of extra margin, but if you add a LOT of weight, will need to check motor temps, etc. CAD model for stinger (may be slightly outdated) : https://forum.modalai.com/topic/5180/looking-stinger-fpv-cad-models -- you can attach your payload to carbon fiber I think that Stinger will be easier to tune up with additional payload because of more responsive and powerful propulsion system than Starling 2. i dont know what your sensor package is so, it is hard to comment about which platform is better. Starling 2 has landing gear that offsets it from the floor. Stringer is much lower to the ground.
