    @mkeyno You need to work with the PX4 community on this project, not ModalAI.

    @Peter-Milani However, I am on vacation for a week starting in a few hours. So, I will get to the review the week of 8/4 when I return (just to set expectations). Thanks!

    Hi @Alex-Kushleyev , @QSL 170-250mm is quite long. I'm not optimistic 250mm can even work, 170 would be risky. We can offer our design services, but typically what that results in is a MOQ of a specific new item, such as 300-500pcs depending on the complexity (at normal MRSP which for flexes runs ~$50-80 each) and lead times would be ~14-18 weeks. What we would need is a .dxf outline of your intended design and we can review that for feasibility and interest. If it really is 250mm, I'd prefer to no-bid it. 200mm might be the edge here (we do not have sophisticated Sigrity tools to confirm, so going on experience here). M0170 is not ideally suited for back-to-back (the connectors are a bit offset from each other so the net result would be weird) but it may prove if 140mm can work + ~10 mm for the connector transition losses. In situations like this, I encourage the ME/Industrial Design Team to reconsider placement of sensors and main electronics relative to each other. There are just some constraints the electronics cannot meet easily. Sometimes just simply re-prioritizing the system constraints helps solve the spatial/distance problems. To extend past ~180+mm, I would encourage you use an external design firm that knows how to do mipi repeaters and high speed design. We've had one customer successfully do that, but it takes some skill and we could do it ourselves, but we just do not have the design cycles to support it this calendar year. Hope this helps and let us know what your thoughts are, and if pursuing us for a custom design is an option, we can reach out over email.

    @QSL Hi, thank you for reaching out. There are many ways to achieve what you are trying. Starling 2 is the best starting point. You can then learn about what will work and what will not work and build out your system design from there.

    @nshahrestani , at this time we do not have another version of the CAD model to share - can you please try to use another tool to convert it for your needs? Alex

    Hello, Sorry to hear about the crash. We have a collection of several CAD files (including the Starling lineup) available on our developer website, https://developer.modalai.com/. Sign up and accept the terms and conditions and you should be able to access the "Protected Downloads" folder, which includes said CAD models. As far as I am aware, the "Landing Gear" has remained relatively unchanged throughout the lifespan of the Starlings, so any of the Starling CAD models should include it (Excluding the Starling Max, which uses longer legs). The part that ships with the drone is a nylon based material, so if you have access to a nylon that would be most comparable. We have seen some users do well with TPU or PETG as well for self printed replacements of this part. Good luck!
