    Hi @saegsali yes, I can help with this. Sorry for the delay in responding here... I will email you to enable the schematic transfer and review setup. For your schematic, these items will ensure a speedy and seamless review: Searchable PDF All items annotated and page numbers correct Off page references if multi-page Caps and R's should have their ratings visible (voltages, power, values) A simple block diagram to help me understand what you are trying to do. Thanks!

    Hi @gerhold-ten-voorde Yes, you are correct. Pin 56 is the signal "FORCE_USB_BOOT". It is default weakly pulled down by the SoC. To enter eDL/QDL mode, this switch connects a 2-2.2K pullup to VREG_S4A_1P8 (J3 pin 47). So, on M0154, the default OPEN/OFF position does noting, when ON it enables the pullup. Hope that helps. Thanks! Vinny

    Hi @dakota_ltu Under an NDA we could consider the ESC. However, even under NDA, we cannot share the VOXL 2 Schematics unless the recipient is also a Qualcomm licensee with their own NDA with Qualcomm. If that is still a path with value to you, please use this form: https://www.modalai.com/pages/contact-us

    Hey @alex-kushleyev, good to know it holds up like that under load, and thanks again for the reply. Two things I'm trying to pin down on the Mini: Power. Can a USB port on the VOXL Mini actually supply around 2-2.5 W, and can it do that on one port while a small USB camera runs on the other? Or should I plan to power those externally? Extra camera slot. From the D0013-V2 CAD the imager board looks like 5 DF56 coax connectors with 4 used (EO + dual AR0144 + Boson+), and the Lepton is on the M0187 SPI adapter so it's off the CSI bus. Is that spare coax connector wired to a usable CSI lane, and would voxl-camera-server take a 5th sensor (an M0161) there without a custom config? Thanks, Eyal

    @nl_vdi , if you log into developer.modalai.com, you will see the CAD models. the latest model we have is: D0012-4-V3-C28-M36-T7-K0-Starling2-Max-V3-20260317.step [image: 1781036132877-376bf0dd-494a-4bf1-8d92-1b2d91afb83d-image.png]

    You might also want to double check the current rating of the power module versus the full load from your setup. A lot of weird reboot or brownout issues end up being power related, especially once extra peripherals get added. Keeping the wiring short and using a stable regulator helps too.

    Q
    Hello @Ryan-Min, As far as I know, there is no specific CAD model file for the GPS mast. You should use the complete CAD model of the Starling 2 Max drone, which is available for download in the developer download section. You will need to create an account. Here is a direct link to the most recent version of the model, the version V3 : D0012-4-V3-C28-M36-T7-K0-Starling2-Max-V3-20260317.step The latest changes to the model are intended to improve GNSS performance. You can consult the documentation page EMI Mitigation for GNSS Applications for more information on this topic and to see their recommendations.

    Hello @Myles-Levine and All, You have been very patient.. Sorry for the delay. The Step file for the exact configuration you requested has been uploaded to our Assets page: https://developer.modalai.com/asset/6 [image: 1773801509262-da4000f6-740e-4d7c-9770-0219ba55bad1-image.png] It should look something like (well, exactly like ) the rendering below. Please let me know if you have any issues with the model. It may take a few minutes to load.. Alex [image: 1773801563271-a7a154f3-aad1-4980-b935-a2a3cfaf7e4c-image.png]

    @Alex-Kushleyev This was what I got when opening the file in SolidWorks: [image: 1770425817595-a3f8d672-9ddc-465e-85c5-f40e6203ce29-image.png] I found a symlink mismatch in the file tree... pushing M073 PCB board with M0172 connector. Anyway, it is solved now: [image: 1770426570510-8f13ae56-bfcd-4829-8bd1-e238097e9bb0-image.png] Thank you. Regards, Jacob
