    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]

    @Vinny Fantastic information. These are exact sizes I have on order now. Will be looking into the altium package as well.

    @VictorT Were you able to successfully calibrate after focusing/cleaning? The M0015-1 sensors should have no issues calibrating after they are properly focused as long as there are no scratches in the lens. Are they mounted in a VOXL Flight Deck?

    @DarkKnightCH I believe Cliff answered that but in case it was missed: "z is fusing baro+vision and why you get z and no xy"

    @tom Thanks I am aware of that web GUI. This issue persists regardless of standard Micro Hard setup. But I sort of have a solution and have delivered to the client now. Also knowing about the master slave auto setup timing that works more reliably. I'm essentially off this project. I am interested to know about it because I may integrate VOXLs into future products. I will consider opening another topic when I have a moment. Thanks for the suggestion and input!

    MIPI-CSI and USB are the primary methods to connect cameras to VOXL Boson integration is documented here: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-uvc-server/#running-voxl-uvc-server Image sensors via MIPI-CSI are documented here and here

    @James-Strawson ah I get it now. There was nothing wrong at all, it was all about reference frames. I should be looking at voxl-inspect-pose -l instead. Thanks!
