    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.

  • Do you have a great idea for our products you would like to see implemented?

    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]

    Cannot run voxl-mapper: ERROR fetching tf from tf ringbuffer there wasn't sufficient data in the buffer

    Hey @jamiek, If this error occurs, it will result in no map generation at the time of error. This is because we need to grab a pose from our ringbuffer (at the timestamp of our pointcloud) in order to insert each pointcloud correctly into the map. This is caused by either voxl-qvio-server or voxl-vision-px4 not properly publishing a pose estimate. You can monitor the output of voxl-qvio-server using voxl-inspect-qvio on voxl or viewing the qvio overlay in voxl-portal. If everything looks good there and qvio is properly publishing pose info, the next place to check is voxl-vision-px4. This error means that we are not receiving a fixed pose data out of voxl-vision-px4, so once you have verified qvio is not reporting any error codes, monitor the output of voxl-inspect-pose -f on voxl and make sure that you are receiving pose data.

    Hey @ahmed-mustahid, You can view one camera stream at a time within the Mapper page of voxl-portal. The bottom left hand corner of the page includes a button (tv icon) to overlay an image stream on top of the map grid. Clicking on this tv icon will populate a list above of all available image topics, similar to the camera dropdown. Selecting one will overlay it on the page, where it can be resized via the bottom left corner of the stream and closed using the red x at the bottom left.

    @Tamas-Pal-0 You can set parameters from the command line. Here is an example: modalai@modalai-XPS-15-9570:~$ adb shell voxl2:/$ px4-param set UART_ESC_RPM_MAX 10000 + UART_ESC_RPM_MAX: curr: 10500 -> new: 10000

    Hi, I've been trying to deploy VVPX4 and still see some dependencies. I am using the VOXL Platform 3.8.0-0.7 and VOXL-Cross-2.1 docker image. voxl-vision-px4-master $./deploy_to_voxl.sh searching for ADB device checking VOXL for dpkg/opkg opkg detected voxl-vision-px4_1.2.0.ipk: 1 file pushed. 3.4 MB/s (105362 bytes in 0.029s) Reinstalling voxl-vision-px4 (1.2.0) on root. Configuring voxl-vision-px4. Collected errors: * satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for voxl-vision-px4: * libmodal-pipe (>= 2.4.0) * libmodal-cv (>= 0.1.0) * DONE Maybe I have to build the following in a specific directory but I am not sure which one: $ mkdir cross-workspace $ cd cross-workspace $ voxl-docker -i voxl-cross:V1.9 voxl-cross:~$ git clone https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/core-libs/libmodal-json.git voxl-cross:~$ cd libmodal-json/ voxl-cross:~$ ./build.sh qrb5165 Can I install or source these two dependencies separately?

    @Eric-Katzfey Thanks. I got the VPN setup working fine. If I end up needing to transition over to that (and I get it working) I'll let you know...

    @Eric-Katzfey @plusk01 Curious if you are still using tmux and able to run automatic tmux (or tmuxp) scripts. I have the issue explained here: https://forum.modalai.com/topic/1248/issue-running-tmux-or-tmux-scripts-on-voxl2 which seems related.

    @Tamas-Pal-0 In order to prevent px4 from running automatically in the background as a daemon on system startup use systemctl disable voxl-px4 and then sync. Reboot voxl 2 and then try voxl-px4-hitl again.
