@RoyAzriel , we were temporarily out of stock on some components and C29 configuration of Starling 2 Max is available again.

The TOF sensor kit (M0177 + M0171 + TOF Sensor) will plug in directly into M0173 camera front end and the Front camera mount already has a spot to mount for the TOF sensor. So you should be able to turn C28 into C29. See C27 here for reference how the TOF sensor is connected : https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-coax-camera-bundles/#kit-pictures-and-descriptions

I've been trying to recover it using qdl as it won't appear in 'adb devices' or 'fastboot devices'

Anyone have thoughts or next steps here? Getting to the switches is difficult as they're buried under the cellular board.

Thanks.

@minhthinh The params are in our voxl-px4-params repo. For example: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/utilities/voxl-px4-params/-/blob/master/params/v1.13/Platforms/M500_FCV2.params?ref_type=heads

@Huynh-Gremsy You cannot connect peripherals to the USBC port in that way, you'll have to use one of our add-on boards that breakout USB ports

@Zarrar By "doing it on your own" we mean that we have not done the work to enable any of these features. You would need to do that. And since we have not done that work we cannot answer your specific questions on how to do it. But that is the beauty of the Starling drone. It is an open platform for doing exactly this kind of development work. We would love to hear how you are able to use the Starling for SWARM Formation!

@Thomas-Eiszler , As long as you dont actually have the APM connected, having the power manager driver enabled in PX4 will not conflict with the mini ESC also reporting battery_status. This is because even though the APM driver in PX4 will attempt to start, it will fail to find the actual hardware device (via i2c probe) and will exit the driver. However, it is best to disable the power manager (APM) driver.

Starling 2 MAX uses two 2-cell packs in series, so it is a 4-cell pack.

when you run voxl-esc spin test, it should report voltage reported by each ESC. Does that match the actual battery voltage or is it also wrong (as is reported in your battery_status ?

@Alex-Kushleyev Thank you for your response, it was the issue with the battery, May be my battery is damaged, when I provide external power source of 12 volt power supply, then it is working perfectly fine. Now I am able to access the portal and voxl2 as well. thank you
