@hmlow we're still working through the product details of what should be included in the kit. We will try to get something into beta this week

@Suvasis-Mukherjee

We have succesfully integrated the D435i to stream video recently with the Voxl2 through ROS2. however this process is a bit involved with a few twists and turns, so it is possible

@Alex-Kushleyev

I have checked inference_helper and modify to handle RGB format successfully.

@Jeffrey-Mao Thank you for providing the update and the instructions!

Great @jacob-yaacubov. Sorry for the issue overall, but glad we made it right.

@Memmed-Shamurov it claims USB Video Support so it 'should' work although we've not tried this exact one.

@Memmed-Shamurov we have draw.io based drawings here if you want to try to mock something up for review, we can take a look:

VOXL2 Mini based drawings here:

@Kris I found and fixed a bug in voxl-camera-server that seems to be the culprit. I flashed my seeker with SDK1.2.0 and sideloaded the following voxl-camera-server with the bugfix to re-enable ingestion of TOF data into voxl-vision-hub

Note VOA simply does not work in the default PX4 acceleration-based position mode so MPC_POS_MODE needs to be set to 0 (velocity control) as done by the voa_enable px4 param helper file here:

@Scott-Lobdell That would be great, thank you.

@Prasanth-Kumar-Duba What hardware are you using? VOXL 1? VOXL 2? I'm guessing VOXL 1 based on the opkg reference.

You can install voxl-mapper by doing the following:

adb shell opkg install voxl-mapper

@rogerli vibration and lead to the lenses rotating. I often use a dab of hot-glue to hold the lens in place after focusing. On the new Starling 2 and Starling 2 Max drones we now use a clamping ring around the entire camera and lens assembly to lock them in place.

@jameskuesel Support for more framerates was added in voxl-camera-server v1.9.3

Here is the commit it was added: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-camera-server/-/commit/9a3f042ad607b968d452303dd108ced3cf2c4328

I recommend you update to the latest SDK

@Vinny
That's really helpful information, thank you!

@modaltb Thanks for the response, Travis. My manager told me in the mean time, he is in contact with you regarding that topic already via mail. I think we'll focus on that, instead of having 2 communication channels 😉

@jonathankampia You could run UART based comms like an external flight controller on that UART: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-external-flight-controller/

but no you couldn't connect a USB device there
