    Hi @Dylan-Gresham, Starling 2 Max ships with cameras in both directions already. The C28 config is two IMX412 4K color cameras and two AR0144 tracking cameras, one of each facing forward and one of each facing downward, so you get a front and a down view at the same time without moving anything. The camera names in the config are hires_front, hires_down, tracking_front, and tracking_down: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-camera-server/-/blob/master/misc_files/usr/share/modalai/voxl-camera-server/standard_configs/voxl2/platform_config_1/28 - M0173 Starling 2 Max dual IMX412 %2B dual AR0144 If you are asking about something different, can you point to the product image you are looking at and describe what you want to do? For example, physically re-mounting the front 4K camera to point down, or tilting it. That will help us give you a precise answer.

    Those warning messages don't really signify dropped Mavlink messages, it's just a by product of two separate event numbering sequences between the DSP and the Linux processor.

    Hi @alraj, 05c6:900e QUSB_BULK is not EDL (that is 9008). It is the SoC crash-dump mode, so the board is attempting to boot and failing before the OS comes up. Since Sahara/Firehose completed with the correct M0054-2 image, the flash contents are unlikely to be the problem. In past cases a board that returns to 900e after a successful QDL has not been recoverable by reflashing (https://forum.modalai.com/topic/1468 and https://forum.modalai.com/topic/3263), and a similar Sentinel case came back from RMA as a damaged main board (https://forum.modalai.com/topic/2131). Two things worth ruling out first. Pull the VOXL 2 out of the drone and boot it bare with every camera and add-on disconnected, since a mis-seated camera connector produced this same 900e state once (https://forum.modalai.com/topic/3230). Then re-check the steps at https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-unbricking/#if-the-device-still-shows-900e-or-boot-loops-after-a-successful-flash and repeat the flash once. If it still comes back as 900e, an RMA is the next step: https://www.modalai.com/pages/rma. Include the serial number and QDL log. Keep the crash dump private, support can request it if needed.

    The ExpressLRS receiver requires* one additional wire. The ghost atto only connects one wire to the VOXL RC RX pin, but the ELRS receiver will also require a connection to the VOXL RC TX pin, otherwise the wiring is identical. Pre-crimped wires can be found easily for the JST GH connectors (J19) to make adding connections simple. *You could leave the receiver's RX line (the VOXL's RC TX) disconnected; this would make updates and other control using the voxl-elrs application impossible but basic RC functionality would work.

    @alex-kushleyev Thanks for the response! A control model is a simple MLP (multi-layer perceptron) Input observation space: PX4 odometry topics, ToF depth/Depth estimation model, object detections. Output action space: PX4 offboard commands ( position and yaw for now, but we might extend to velocity/Collective thrust and body rates)

    The specific leg in question has a number on it - 1460. The legs in the CAD for the C28 show 868B.

    Hi, I would like to know what wifi module is on the drone. The one mounted on the drone is different than AlfaNetworks? Adam

    Hi Christopher We currently support two forms of recording, both at the pilot internal to the VRX onboard storage on goggles to the SD Card We do have on our list to implement recording at the UAS itself, but that will need to be in a future software update.

    Similarly, I cannot find the model for the new "slim" VTX mount, only the older, taller one.

    Hello Timothy, 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) & 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.
