    @Wei-Cui if you are creating a new type of vio, then yes you should create a new vio server. just copy the qvio-server as reference an put your algorithm in its place. If it publishes an overlay image, portal will render it

    Hi @michaelherrera Short answer, I do not have a solid answer for you. Long Answer: The rise and fall time will be dependent on the total capacitance of your cables (length, trace width, etc), your load, and the QRB5165 has many different drive strength options too. That being said, SPI is not rigidly required to have 50-ohms if you are going for that, you may be over-constraining yourself. Especially at 5MHz, impedance matching in my experience has never been an issue at that slow of a frequency. The important thing is more to not have stubs greater than 1/4 wavelength of the rise-time. For any reflection/matching concerns, you have over 8nS of HIGH and LOW time at the fastest frequency of 50MHz for SPI, so at 1/10th that, you have over 80ns of settling time. if you are worried about emissions, then a simple AC tuning circuit can be placed at the load side to help match and squelch any ripple/undershoot/overshoot due to reflections. If you can better explain what port/connector you are referring to, what SW you are running, and what target device you are reading, I can try to capture an image on the scope to measure some rise times. But, that being said, you are probably on the order of 1-3 nanoseconds which is common on SPI. Neither of which may impact your hatching too much. If you enter anywhere from 1ns to 2ns on your calculator, I would bet you'll get good enough and not see much impact/change between the two values. Then, you can test on your own with your HW and see if you are close. I bet you would be. 1-2ns also translates to ~1GHz max, which is a 1/4 lambda of ~12inches. So, avoid stubs or "T's" longer than 6" (I target 1/2 the 1/4 wavelength rule). If you are working on GHz links, then yes, rise times are on the order or 10's of pico-seconds and you'd see impacts there, where every 10ps will move the needle. Hope this helps.

    @Javier-Martínez-Martínez That release is a little old now so I forget exactly what the correct command to show camera options is but if you try voxl-configure-cameras -h does it list out the config ID options?

    @Dev Team, thank you for your answer. Is Seeker drone equipped with a VOXL board to connect a Flir Boson or Lepton cam through an USB UVC interface? If not, which VOXL board should we acquire? or which other products should we consider? We need to make the purchase but first, we need to know if we will be able to connect Flir Boson o Lepton cam directly with no development tasks. Thank you in advance.

    @Darshit-Desai I believe we open them up and adjust a couple screws in order to do so. It's something that the commando docs should cover
