Excellent! That is certainly possible to do.


Yes, with some configuration it can be compatible. You will need to reconfigure MPA from the C28 camera config to the C29 camera config.


They will need a new front camera bezel(M10001278), TOF safety shield(M10000537) and everything in MSU-M0178-1-01. Most of the hardware can be reused but as a precaution would also recommend QTY. 4 M10000884(M1.6X6 Screws) &amp; QTY. 4 M10000882(M2.2X10 Screws).


If you would like to proceed with the purchase, please email contact@modalai.com with the contents above.
Regards.

I believe the extrinsics file is correct. Here is an extrinsics file for Starling 2 (which can support up to 3 tracking cameras, depending on configuration). https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/utilities/voxl-mpa-tools/-/blob/master/misc_files/usr/share/modalai/extrinsic_configs/D0014_Starling_2.conf
tracking_down is the camera we want and the extrinsics are:
"parent": "imu_apps",
"child":  "tracking_down",
"T_child_wrt_parent": [-0.08825, -0.0045, 0.0269],
"RPY_parent_to_child":    [0, 0, 180]

[image: 1782188708958-54bec293-dddc-48e7-903b-47dda8c48787-image.png]
I have labeled the camera X and Y axes on the down-facing rear camera and the rotation matches up with 180 degree yaw with respect to the drone's body axes (X=forward, Y=right, Z= down)
Please note something that may add to the confusion. The front facing tracking camera is technically upside down (using our standard convention that i labeled for the down-facing camera), however we rotate the image 180 degrees in the camera itself during image read-out, so that the image looks right side up without any software work. This 180 degree rotation is selected in voxl-camera-server.conf with a rotation parameter, which instructs voxl-camera-server to set a special register in the camera to reverse the image readout. This is why you will see tracking_front and hires cameras having the same rotation extrinsics, while the tracking_front camera is physically upside down.
Some more info about our extrinsics and conventions : https://docs.modalai.com/configure-extrinsics/

@jbiscan21 , yes you can add the TOF sensor to Starling 2 Max, but you will also need a new front plastic mount that will hold the hires and tracking cameras as well as the new TOF sensor.
You can order the mount (which will be a drop in replacement for the original camera mount) with the TOF sensor. If you do want to proceed with the TOF sensor + plastics order, we will need to double check that all the necessary screws are included. You would need to send an email for a custom order to start this off and mention this thread and that we need to include mounting hardware. https://www.modalai.com/pages/contact-us

@Alex-Kushleyev We are trying to purchase the TOF sensor for our Starling 2 max c28 configuration. The sales department asked to make a post on the forum for technical information which I did here
Can you confirm if we can also reference this post to make the purchase for our drone with the required parts included? We'd like to place an order as soon as possible.
Thank you,

On QGC, do the Parameters ever fully load? The reason I am asking is because if the connection to the GCS is not fast enough or strong enough for QGC to fully download the parameters then the other tabs like sensors and actuators in QGC will not appear. Which is why you are having an issue doing the level horizon from QGC.  I know that QGC is seeing the video feed meaning you are connected, is the Green bar going across the full length of the fly view bar on QGC?

You should try to clear the debris by spinning the motor by hand first (or use compressed air) and then use the test script to spin for longer periods of time without propeller (changing speeds, etc).
You could use a spin step command to automate increasing and decreasing spin speed (without rpm control, since it's not needed):
./voxl-esc-spin-step.py --id 0 --step-delay 2.5 --step-frequency 1 --power 20 --step-amplitude 30

You need to copy the new sensormodule file with the correct slot id (number at the end) to /usr/lib/camera and (re)move the existing one, so that it does not get picked up by the camera pipeline.
Good idea to back up your existing configuration before making changes.
