  Since the onboard computer for the starling is relatively weak and difficult to work with for what we want to do we would like to add an Orin NX additional computer for more processing. Do you have any readymade solutions such as companion board for this? Does the starling have an additional ethernet port open we can use to talk to another computer?

  @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!

  Hello,

  I've been trying to run Mavros on my VOXL-flight from inside a docker container. I've been following these instructions https://docs.modalai.com/mavros/ and finally got the code to work. However, I got an error on QGC saying "no offboard signal". Does anyone know what the issue might be?

  Also, my goal is to make the drone hover at a certain height (for example 3ft) without it going up or down. is there a way to achieve that without using ROS? I followed these instructions https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-qvio-server-0_9/ and got VIO working. However, when I move the drone sideways, it does not stay exactly at 3ft. My plan is to take pictures of a pillar at different heights. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
