    Ok, we will find out if we can do it ourselves, or just find another m9 lens.

    Hi @황인호 Correct, we no longer carry/sell/support that design as noted here: https://docs.modalai.com/hdmi-input-accessory-datasheet/ ** Note: ModalAi’s HDMI accessory has been discontinued and is no longer available ** Let me know if you have any more questions about this. Thanks!

    The distance, or baseline, is a part of the extrinsic calibration process https://docs.modalai.com/calibrate-cameras/

    @tom Tom, Thanks for the Saturday reply! I' know I won't be able to ping the device's IP from the internet, just like I can't ping my phone or any other cellular device. They're inside the carrier's NAT'd subnet. I get that. But I cannot ping any public ip FROM the device. At the end of that old thread, he shows the Voxl pinging 8.8.8.8 and getting a response. I still don't, after following all of the suggestions in that thread. Like I said, I can get a DNS response if I ping a hostname, just no response to the ICMP from the host. Things that might help me: Another SIM from a different carrier or (or carrier's reseller, as most of the IoT SIM providers tout using ATT, T-Mobile and Verizon's networks, but have their own APN's..) to try. I'm working on that. In the meantime, coming from my early beginnings jockeying Hayes modems from DOS 3.3 running a BBS (Bulletin Board System, the pre-internet way we communicated..) I'm familiar with the Hayes AT command set (or used to be..) so I'd like a document (that I can't find on the Sierra site) listing my modem's AT command set so I can dig deeper into this problem myself. The Tailscale VPN looks nice and may be the simplest route (at a cost, and once I can actually talk to the outside world with this thing..) but I'm linking to a good video for you guys to look at. This guy is pretty savvy, and what he's doing here works. Without a VPN I might add.. The reverse SSH tunnel is quite interesting. Worth a look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IokyotAGbJI

    Hi @Byron_Ch , Our schematics are not open sourced, but we make every effort to make sure you have all the info you need. What information are you missing to be able to do your own schematics? We will also offer a review of your schematics as a courtesy if you wish. Side note: several customers did not successfully make their own flex cables for these image sensors and often come to us to make a custom flex after their attempt. All we need is a 2d flattened outline (.dxf) and we can handle the rest. Food for thought. If you think you want to go that route, let us know and we'll email you. Thanks

    @Vinny Thanks that does! So I made a new wire and it worked! It turns out my issue was that because I created a custom USB 2.0 to 4 pin JST connector I had too much exposed wiring. USB apparently requires a ton of shielding around all the wires to work which I did not know until now. Thanks for all the help with clarification

    The stereo extrinsic parameters should be resolved through the stereo calibration process

    Thanks! Much appreciated answer! As we are based in the EU, the company have some "bureaucratic" difficulties to buy outside EU... If we don't break, way better XD By the way, I would love to find some 90 degree angles cables/adaptors! so the cameras can be just on the side of the board and make everything much smaller! (I'll post the same sentence to the "Feature Requests") Thanks again!

    Fixed the problem, the mavlink stream name is SERVO_OUTPUT_RAW_0. changing that to 200Hz gives us the RPM feedback at 200Hz on mavros

    Hi @Jan-Hartmann , If you review our MH carrier block diagram here: https://docs.modalai.com/microhard-add-on-datasheet/#block-diagram You'll notice we unfortunately do not expose the other Microhard Ethernet port. I'm not optimistic there is even a way to get it with blue-wires. Sorry about that. For S.BUS support, we offer a small standalone product noted here: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-io/ We think that is a great little gadget that expands your PWM and I/O options and is meant for Voxl2. Let us know if you have any other questions!

    Without propellers you are not calibrating the ESC
