Thanks, Tom! We appreciate the support and the reassurance about VOXL 2's processing power. It's great to know there's room to explore its capabilities further. We'll definitely reach out if we have more questions—thanks again for being a resource we can count on!

@soraminds , VOXL2 supports SoftAP mode (access point), so you can set up your drone(s) to be access points and that should allow your ground sensors to connect to the drone. See https://docs.modalai.com/sentinel-user-guide-connect-network/ , specifically see usage for voxl-wifi:

voxl-wifi softap Usage -- voxl-wifi Description: Configure the Wi-Fi mode. Usage: voxl-wifi getmode Print the current Wi-Fi mode (softap or station) voxl-wifi softap <ssid> [password] Set Wi-Fi to 2.4ghz access point mode (ch6). Default password is '1234567890' voxl-wifi softap5 <ssid> [password] Set Wi-Fi to 5ghz access point mode (ch149). Default password is '1234567890' voxl-wifi station <ssid> [password] Set Wi-Fi to station mode and connect to the access point with the given SSID and password (if provided). voxl-wifi factory Set Wi-Fi configuration to factory defaults. This will set the Wi-Fi to 5ghz access point mode, with SSID 'VOXL-[MAC address]' and password '1234567890'.

@Paul-Carff I believe the way to add channels is via the controller itself - the receiver on the VOXL2 should not require any update in config to take in more channels - from this point its configuring the controller to allow it to use more channels

@AndriiHlyvko,

I just ran into the same issue while testing Boson (in my case I was testing the 16-bit Boson streaming mode). The libuvc issue caused a crash, since i did not use a fixed version of libuvc. However, what actually caused the buffer overflow was the fact that Boson was reporting smaller buffer requirements for RAW16 during query (it was reporting width * height * 1.5 , just like for YUV, but actual frame size was width * height * 2, so uvc pipeline allocated smaller buffer and overflow happened with the full frame came in.

Was this the same issue with your Boson tests or did you experience something else?

Thanks!

@groupo We also had this issue, but we had modified the sentinel and was found to be more due to vibrations

@Eric-Katzfey Awesome, thanks for the feedback!

@tonygurney Try the test application voxl-send-esc-pwm-cmd. Source code is here: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-io-server/-/blob/dev/tools/voxl-send-esc-pwm-cmd.c?ref_type=heads
