    Hi @smiley We don't offer longer ones and we have not tested them. Sorry I can't be of much more help here. Usually in this situation, I suggest our customers to go and challenge their Mechanical and Industrial Design Engineers to better constraint image sensor placement in the drone given these fundamental constraints.

    @Alex-Kushleyev Thanks for the explanation — I now understand how to use the TOF sensor. I’ll use the ROS point cloud directly for my research.

    @Andrew-Jue , you can find the latest firmware for the IO board in /usr/share/modalai/voxl2-io-tools/firmware/modalai_m0065_firmware_v0_2_RC1_f94baad1.bin on your VOXL2 or on gitlab: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/utilities/voxl2-io/-/tree/master/voxl2-io-tools/firmware You can update the firmware using our voxl-esc tools, as documented here : https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-io-firmware/#how-to-update-firmware This version of the firmware is the latest and has been stable for over one year.

    @wifa799 , Please see the following post : https://forum.modalai.com/topic/4274/hadron-boards-to-order/ (at the end) In short, Hadron works in J8 only using the kernel variant that works with M0173. I need to update the documentation. So you can have 3x tracking, 1x hires, 1x TOF, and Hadron (IR + OV64B hires). That is 7 cameras which is the maximum number of MIPI cameras that VOXL2 supports. I know you did not ask for the other hires camera (recommended IMX412 M0161 module), but just wanted to mention that. This set up is not standard, but you would just need to set up for a standard Starling camera setup (C27) then go from there.. copy the sensormodules (camera drivers) for Boson in slot 4 and ov64b in slot 5 and update your voxl-camera-server.conf. I can help you with that if needed. Alex

    @Federico-Wyrwal , thank you for the reply. More debugging would be needed to figure out the root cause and it looks like you already submitted an RMA for the inspection / repair, so we will take care of it. Thank you. Alex

    Yes, Hadron is working when plugged into J6 of VOXL2 Mini with default kernel. You just need to have the following sensormodule files in /usr/lib/camera/: com.qti.sensormodule.boson_0.bin com.qti.sensormodule.ov64b40_1.bin And instead of gpio6, you need to use gpio30 to enable the CCI mux, so that communication with the EO camera is enabled: voxl-gpio -m 30 out voxl-gpio -w 30 1 I will update the Hadron documentation..

    Hi @jonathankampia Hate to hand you off but this is out of my realm now.... I think @tom is more suited for helping on this front if we are sure it is no longer a HW issue.

    @Alex-Kushleyev Thank you so much. Now the camera is working. Previously, during the installation, I selected a second option of continuing the installation process with the option to keep the same configuration, which was wrong decision. It did not gave me an option to choose my drone name before. But, now that i selected the first option that give questions along the way, i was able to select the correct options for my drone as shown in picture below.

    VOXL 2 is a Linux computer, so if you want to write software to coordinate multiple UAS you have open access to do so For Flir support, you can start here: https://docs.modalai.com/M0153/ For flight I/O, you can refer here: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-connectors/ For software support, you can refer here: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-sdk/
