    @Thabisa Apologies I don't know why I thought you had an RB5, no don't flash that image. Flash the voxl2 specific one: https://developer.modalai.com/asset/view/116

    Hi Ariel Firstly - I am assuming you restarted the service right? Secondly what is the camera configuration you are using (multiple cameras, all streaming simultaneously, etc?)? The TOF is quite processing hungry so it is quite possible that if you have a lot else going onboard that the system just can't keep up or the buffer is getting filled to quickly prior to processing, etc. When you do a voxl-inspect-services the voxl-camera-server is up and running I am assuming? If thats the case, whats the CPU consumption, etc. Also you will see at this link that the recommended FPS for the tof is 5 fps. Thanks, Zach

    @Chad-Sweet said in Which FLIR Lepton breakout board: Sorry, J12 on the 5G (M0090) add-on should work fine. Any host port from a VOXL 2 add-on should work. ok thanks

    @Isaac_j did you figure out a solution to this issue? I'm running into the same problem also using the Spektrum DSMX receiver and transmitter. QGC doesn't see any radio channels even though the transmitter/receiver pair are bound.

    @José-Quintanilla You can see all the various options with voxl-configure-mpa -h but you'll probably want to use voxl-configure-mpa -p --family m500 --compute flight

    Thanks Vinny. The shipping cost $10 is I think excessive for every small item I buy from Modalai.com. Subtotal $19.99 Shipping $9.99 Estimated taxes $1.45 Thanks. suvasis

    Hi, it appears I do not have the voxl-dfs-server service. I'd like to know how I can install the service without reinstalling the whole suit and wiping everything off.

    @tom Tom, Thank you, but I feel like an idiot. I say that because I just clicked on all of the links you just posted in that reply, gave it 30 minutes worth of clicks, and for the life of me, I can't find any reference to: voxl-time-sync or vpn-start.service or any of the instruction you provided in your short post. Is it me? I really and truly appreciate your help, but I feel like everyone on your end feels like we're all at your level but we're not. We need hand holding sometimes.. even though we're pretty clever guys (and gals.. or whatever letters you use..) or we probably wouldn't be messing with this stuff. Honestly.. a concise, 2-3 page document for the currently released products containing commands, file locations, syntax and switches, configs (with included defaults) and an example or two would go a LONG ways toward keeping you guys busy at what you do best instead of answering my stupid questions..

    Hi @Marta-Gonzalez , just following up on this thread, have you had any success with getting the RB5 to boot correctly? If necessary I can setup a debug phone call with you to see if we can get things going.

    Hi @moo-poo , No, not that port. It is only a peripheral connector for QGC or other host to talk to the MCU. https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-flight-datasheet-connectors/#j1006---usb-connector The comment about "not providing power" which is needed for a host port. The only USB host ports on Voxl/VoxlFlight are through the J13 60-pin connector. Hope that helps.

    The J19 connector is specfically connected to the sDSP, so that particular connector yes, but we have other apps_proc interfaces for UART/I2C/SPI/GPIO. This is where it's likely easiest to locate where the interfaces are: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-linux-user-guide/ VOXL2 has been optimized for size, and thus some/most of these interfaces require some kind of connector that is likely harder than just making a JST cable real quick to test something out, or a daughter card that exposes it on a JST.

    I also have the same issue, I have used the portal and QGroundControl to view camera feed but there is a delay in both, enough so that it is not reliable to fly depending on the feed alone. I have tried disabling the portal and the docker to see if it would help but not much of a difference. If someone could help us figure out a way to stream the Hires RGB camera in 4k resolution with minimal delay if possible? Or even just lower the delay with 1080p resolution? Please and Thank You.
