@jon You can use a J19 UART from the apps processor. Take a look at the code in voxl-elrs (https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/utilities/voxl-elrs/-/tree/dev?ref_type=heads), specifically the file src/elrs_slpi.c. This project accesses SLPI UARTs from an AP userspace process through voxl_io, not through POSIX termios. You cannot have a flight controller running at the same time though so PX4 / ArduPilot / etc. would need to be stopped first.

@jon When running that way make sure you wait a few seconds before restarting. If you ctrl-c out of voxl-px4 and immediately restart voxl-px4 you will see that error condition.

@Michael-Hatton Did you run through the voxl-configure-modem setup in order to configure APN, etc? https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-modem/#usage

@Michael-Hatton Yes, you need to have a separate battery charger. I'll see if I can get a recommendation from the team on a good charger to use. I use a Hota D6 Pro, personally.

@Alex-Kushleyev Aha yes that was my original understanding. Yes knew you'd need a zoom level for it to actually look good/work effectively. Would probably have a lower bound of 1.2-1.3 likely from what I experimented with. TBD on dimensions. Sorry, was confused, sounds good!

@jon And you can find a lot of detailed information about the agent, including the start options, here: https://docs.px4.io/main/en/middleware/uxrce_dds

@Michael-Hatton When you arm the drone it is in flight mode and the motors start to spin. It's that spinning of the motors that you don't want while plugged into a power supply. Only use your battery to actually spin the motors and fly.

@Eric-Katzfey I'm not sure what may have changed, before when setting BATT_MONITOR to 21 the param would write but we wouldn't get the additional parameters that that setting should have enabled. Last week I tried it again to reply to your last message and we got the BATT_I2C_BUS parameter and were able to get it all working. Gotta love when things seem to magically fix themselves, thanks for the support. PS, we have built a parallel system on the latest SDK and will be migrating the current one over to match.

@Eric-Katzfey I’m looking for the voxl-emulator Docker image referenced in the documentation: VOXL Emulator Documentation: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-emulator/#install-the-voxl-emulator-docker-image However, in the Development Sources / Developer Portal there doesn’t seem to be any Docker image available for voxl-emulator. Could you please confirm if the image is still available, or if there is an updated download location for it?

@pmeras , the connector specs are provided here : https://docs.modalai.com/micro-coax-user-guide/ . Specifically, the connector part number is DF56C-26S-0.3V(51). You can find some more information regarding the cable pinout for our hires camera here : https://docs.modalai.com/M0186/ We do not manufacture custom cables, just the ones used in our VOXL camera ecosystem.

@AndrewC , sorry for the delay. There are no hardware modifications to VOXL2 before installing it into Starling 2 Max. You would just need to configure SKU on your new VOXL2 board (https://docs.modalai.com/sku/) and just just reflash the latest SDK to start off clean. During the SDK install, there are a few steps (voxl-configure-mpa) that will load all the needed configurations for your SKU. Please let us know if you have any issues with that. Alex

@james-emi , In our voxl-camera-server, we have a default intrinsics config for the IMX412 camera / lens as follows (focal length approximation is based on a several calibrations). Basically it is a fisheye lens with about 2000px focal length at full resolution (half of that at half resolution, etc). The camera full sensor width is 4056 (hence the x principal point is exactly half of that 2028). In some cases we use slightly trimmed frame (4040 in width). But in any case, that should be enough for a good starting point. lens_cal.width = 4040; lens_cal.height = 3040; lens_cal.fx = 1999.0; lens_cal.fy = 1999.0; lens_cal.cx = 2028.0; lens_cal.cy = 1520.0; lens_cal.is_fisheye = 1; Alex

@Alex-Kushleyev Sounds good, thank you!
