    Hello. I purchased a Starling 2 Max development drone and when attempting a first flight test I discovered that one of the batteries arrived entirely dead. I was curious if there was a way to receive replacements, and if this falls within replacement territory. I contacted the support email and was directed here. I can provide more information if needed.

    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!

    @nl_vdi , if you log into developer.modalai.com, you will see the CAD models. the latest model we have is: D0012-4-V3-C28-M36-T7-K0-Starling2-Max-V3-20260317.step [image: 1781036132877-376bf0dd-494a-4bf1-8d92-1b2d91afb83d-image.png]

    @kerct did you remove the GPS? It is showing errors related to GPS You can upload your PX4 log to logs.px4.io and it will likely tell you

    @황인호 We're not sure how you would define regular cables. You can find the specs for MCBL-00068 here: https://docs.modalai.com/cable-datasheets/#mcbl-00068

    @cch you can see the code where voxl-vision-hub takes the pointcloud topic from DFS and uses the information, this should be a good reference: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-vision-hub/-/blob/master/src/voa_manager.c?ref_type=heads#L434

    @SMRazaRizvi At first glance, it looks like that GPS uses CAN to communicate. There is not a supported CAN interface on VOXL 2. You will need to use an Arduino or something in the middle to translate CAN protocol to something VOXL 2 can interface with

    @Siddhanth I guess I don't understand what you are trying to accomplish. SITL runs on the host computer. HITL runs on the VOXL. If you have a MAVROS application running on VOXL and you want to test it against PX4 you can use HITL. Or you could run your MAVROS application on the host computer and test it against SITL.

    @Upasana-Mahanti The HITL documentation has recently been updated. Can you please check it out and see if it is the same documentation that you were using? https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-PX4-hitl/

    @Jskim voxl-uvc-server doesn't support that format. You would have to modify the code to add that feature.

    @rohitpillai For remote ID, you need a wifi or bluetooth radio on board. voxl-remote-id uses WiFi. If you deviate from what we support, you will need to implement on your own or find another solution.
