    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]

    @Moderator Besides extracting out the libraries and running them on an ARM based computer, how else can we simulate VOXL's behaviour? From what I understand for HITL, we are only interfacing with voxl-px4 but not other services like voxl-vision-hub.

    We're not really sure how we can help you. What are you trying to achieve? Is there a specific device you are trying to work with? The kernel should work as other Linux kernels, so if you have made this change elsewhere the steps should be similar

    @José-Quintanilla Was this solved? If yes, how? I'm having a similar issue where the drone is constantly drifting towards its right/left (Mostly right, but sometimes left too)

    @SMRazaRizvi A compass (magnetometer) and a GPS receiver are two completely separate sensors. GPS reception won't affect the compass.

    @Moderator That makes way more sense, thank you for the clarification As far as I could understand, there is no text saying that the .conf for the extrinsics is only used for the voxl-mapper on the modalai.docs, I think that is where my confusion came from

    @Wei-Cui-0 Sure, it's just http traffic. You would have to parse on your own of course and reverse engineer from the source code here The image streams are just standard mjpeg though, so those should be easy to grab

    @Jagatpreet-Nir Were you able to find a resolution to this? We are also experiencing the exact same issue has you. IMU is coming in around 220 Hz and there is alot of dropped data and timestamp jumping. Check out this sample graph below. [image: 1692835321669-imu-timestamp.png]

    The website was incorrect, it has been fixed There is not a version of Startling pet support Doodle labs radios You may be able to design an adapter yourself, but it is not clear. The drone would fly appropriately with that much additional weight

    There were some issues with the System, causing this problem. Solved by a fresh flash of the system image as well as the VOXL SDK.
