Can you please clarify the error that you are seeing? Is the issue the lack of correct sensormodule or something else? (you can check if correct sensormodules are present in /usr/lib/camera after configuring the cameras). As a reminder, the J6L, maps to slot 0, J6U, slot 1, J7L slot 2 and J7U slot 3.
Are you able to connect the 2 AR0144 cameras to J6 and J7?
What is your goal - how many of each cameras do you need to use? We can test it.

That is the flex stiffener. Our older image modules used stainless steel. Some of our newer modules use laminate.
Those holes are likely just flex/FPC air escapes during the backer lamination process. They do not provide any functional purpose after assembly.
I see no issue filling them with epoxy.
Hope that helps!

Please send us a contact inquiry to get a custom order (https://www.modalai.com/pages/contact-us).
The connectors J01, J23, J45 and J67 are not populated - we do not have a build with those connectors. You would need to add them yourself.
Also, we are currently not (yet) officially supporting the ToF pills on this board, there is limited internal testing being done. We may be able to provide limited support for that. If you are interested, i can find out what the status of this effort is.
MCBL-00128 we have is only 75mm, unfortunately.
There is a way to make the TOF V2 work on VOXL2 mini, however it is a bit of a hack (which temporarily enabled a transition to the new TOF V2 while using old camera connectors, which did not provide enough power).

https://www.modalai.com/products/m0178?variant=48528287826224
basically this configuration uses M0169 adapter (instead of M0178). https://docs.modalai.com/M0169/
M0169 requires a power input of 5V ideally 1.5A, provided via the 2-pin JST connector. If you were using a voxl2, then you can use the provided 4-pin power cable with a split connection for the TOF sensor. In case of VOXL2 mini, since it accepts 3.8V input, you will need a separate 5V supply.
M0169 can be connected to M0076 or M0135 camera interposers using the standard flex cables, such as M0074 (comes with this kit), M0036.

Note that if you use M0195 camera front end (or M0188), then you will not be able to use the TOF V2 because both camera connectors on voxl2 mini would be used up.
What's included in M0169 kit (from our shop page linked above)

Alternatively, a robust system would be needed that will continuously recalibrate extrinsics over time. This may be the reason why stereo is not easily to use with consistent success on drones.
ToF works well indoors with range up to 4-6 meters, but outdoors the sunlight will severely degrade the performance. Some technical details are available here : https://docs.modalai.com/M0178/

Thanks.
One more question, to configure VIO/QVIO for a custom frame with a single (downward) camera, how should I go about following the documentations?
I am starting with https://docs.modalai.com/open-vins/
However I came across this:
"This documentaion will assume that there are some steps that have already be taken. ...Assuming that we are working with between two and three camera tracking."
are there different procedures for a system with single camera? Also a high-level roadmap on how to go about configuring VIO/QVIO for a custom frame would be appreciated in case information is in multiple places in documentation. Thank you for your support.

This module is designed to work with VOXL products and it we would not be able to provide much support for connecting this camera module to another platform. The main reason being that inability to test the custom setup ourselves would make any debugging very difficult.

They were used a long time ago for Auto Exposure control for ov7251 camera, which would have weird image flicker issues if you updated gain every frame, so we would use ae_gain_period set to 2. The issue with ov7251 was also resolved a while ago and it supports gain period of 1.
These parameters specify the update period (in frames) for sending out the new gain and exposure from the AE algo. So these parameters should be set to 1, which is the default for AR0144.
There is no practical reason to use any value other than 1.
