    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!

    @Nathan-Ni, What setup do you have? M500, Flight-Deck? What version of software are you on? It seems like vio isn't starting up hence the 0,0 in x & y. You can try: systemctl restart voxl-qvio-server You can also try: systemctl restart voxl-vision-px4 If those don't reset qvio then a power-cycle is the best bet to reset it. The error code is mentioning low features. Is there enough lighting and feature for the cameras to see? If you haven't already checked out our setup guide: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-m500-getting-started/#confirm-connection-with-qgroundcontrol What method are you using to connect to QGC?

    How can the m500 precisely land on an aruco marker.

    Hi @stevet Late to reply, and thanks so much for your instruction! It's great news for M1 developers like me I will have a try if it works well, and let you know then.

    @Jagatpreet-Nir We test with SanDisk Ultra 16GB cards. We have tried other cards and have seen failures so not all cards will work.

    @Nathan-Ni In your picture you show that voxl-streamer is already running. Then you launch another instance from the command line and get a failure. This is most likely due to not specifying a different port for the new instance. Documentation is here: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-streamer/#viewing-output-from-multiple-connected-cameras

    Voxl flight deck - issues with flying and power

    Thanks @Chad-Sweet for your reply. So I did not try the PID method, but instead used a new 3S lipo battery to replicate the previous flight behaviour. The first test was a huge success and the drone flew well even while facing the other sides. But further tests, the power avionics issue has come back again and the tests are now inconsistent. Sometimes it flies well and sometimes its going haywire, but almost getting the avionics power low issue every time. Could this be the power module issue? Anyway I've ordered power module and my next step is to replace with a new power module and test. But is there anything that you could suggest?

    Thanks for your reply! I am confused on what Pin 7-10 are on the VOXL Flight. Looking at the H-RTK where would the SAFETY_SWITCH, SAFETY_SWITCH_LED, VDD_3v3 and BUZZER connect to on the J7 port?

    @Matt-Turi Thanks! I had tried this one previously, but I'll give it another go with your recommendations.

    Hi @frafrat , Not yet but we are working on it currently. I don't have a hard date for a release, but the plan so far is to get support onto the QRB5165 platform within the next month or two. Thanks! Travis

    @kasarrowtec Did you get any further with this issue. I have the same problem that Docker can not create an endpoint in the iptables.

    Today I tried using another provider for the SIM and it connected to the internet. Not sure where to start debugging this cause it is getting an IP, but I figure it needs internet access to get the time ?
