    @muhammadbilal1 The batteries for Starling are standard Lithium Ion batteries (not Lithium Polymer). The recommended charging rate for Li-Ion batteries is 1C, so if the capacity is 3000mAh, the maximum charging rate is 3A. Charging at slower rates will extend the battery life (as is true for all batteries). The maximum voltage is 4.2V. Please use a charger setting that specifically supports Li-Ion batteries. Most LiPo chargers also support Li-Ion batteries. I will check how to proceed regarding the missing adapter.

    @Aaky , the mixer should never output a value lower than mixer min (while armed).

    @Paola-Lim You will need to follow directions from this page : https://docs.modalai.com/flash-system-image/#flashing-a-voxl-sdk-release Tom suggested getting the SDK 1.1.3, so per instructions you should go to https://developer.modalai.com, log in, then click on Protected Downloads -> VOXL2 Platform Releases and download VOXL2 SDK 1.1.3 and follow the rest of instructions from "flashing voxl sdk" page Alex

    @JoeC Sure. There is a configuration script at /etc/modalai/voxl-px4.conf that has some high level configuration values that affect how the startup script executes. The actual startup script now resides in /usr/bin. It is /usr/bin/voxl-px4-start. This is actually called from the higher level script /usr/bin/voxl-px4.

    Hi @majjam I'm glad Alex is helping you. Nothing should ever be "searing hot" in our platforms. If it is, it may be that you have a 5V supply connected to the 3.3V supply of the MCU by an errant connection using one of the connectors, and over time the MCU will fail (likely very promptly). Please double check your wiring and connections to all peripherals and connectors using this page as a guide: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-io-datasheet/#connector-callouts Be sure you do not connect any 5V supply to the 3.3V pins. Thanks!

    Hi @Jskim We are happy to report our testing was successful. I have documented the process where you can modify MCBL-00022-2 and add the series caps for your self to unblock your USB 3 speeds: https://docs.modalai.com/cable-userguides/#how-to-modify-mcbl-00022-2-for-use-with-voxl-2-mini-usb-3-speeds Hope this helps!! Let us know how your testing progresses.

    @Moderator Thank you for the response. I did come across this product of yours here: https://www.modalai.com/products/mdk-m0135?_pos=1&_sid=e4d19a51b&_ss=r that should work great after looking through some of your user guides and technical documentation.

    @Jeremy-Frederick No, it should not ever crash in mid flight! Can you provide the console output (journalctl -b -u voxl-px4), px4 log, and dmesg output from one of these in flight crashes so we can try to figure out what is going on?

    Hi @wy Yes. You will need to use these hardware adapters as shown here though to mate to our Framos adapters (MDK-M0061): https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-mini-image-sensors/#hardware-information Keep in mind, VOXL 2 Mini is just a reduced CSI port version of VOXL 2. We even retain the same hardware notations of "J6" and "J7" that align the same electrically and functionally with "J6" and "J7" of VOXL 2. Hope this helps!

    @John-Nomikos i see, yes, most likely due to: /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/adbd.service That re-enables it after reboot.. Anyway, it looks like you found a workaround. Alternatively you could potentially remove that dependency from multi-user.target.wants/ but i have not tested that
