    Hi @austin-c yeah, and it will not. There are dozens of changes between the two boards. It's just easier and cheaper to order the correct version. We have no documents showing how to convert it is simply not doable for the cost and risk and time. Not the news you wanted, but please trust me on that one.

    @Barry-Hammond https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-streamer/#how-to-stream-video-with-rtsp-on-voxl Quality greatly depends on your LTE coverage and VPN performance. I recommend lowering the bitrate in /etc/modalai/voxl-streamer.conf until you're happy with the response rate. Tailscale can add overhead as well and our recent LTE testing has involved hosting a custom WireGuard server.

    We are using the VOXL2 Mini with the M0041-4 power module on a 6S drone. I had been testing it on the bench with a 24V power supply without issue for the last few weeks. I was moving it onto the drone which is 6S and soldered power wires directly onto the ESC battery pads and added and XT30 to connect to the power module. When I plugged in the power module it sparked and I quickly unplugged. I have double checked polarity after the fact and it is correct. I put a multimeter on the xt30 and measured 25.1V. I do not see what I did wrong to make it fry. The IC that blew is the actual voltage regulator (marked 327;LGHW;8937 on the IC). Unfortunately I tried powering the VOXL2 mini up with another M0041-4 and my power supply and that is dead too. What am I doing wrong? Let me know if there is more information you need.

    @awagner , I believe on VOXL2 Mini should be able to support any 4 cameras on the J6L, J6U, J7L, J7U (specifically the AR0144 (M0149) and IMX412 (M0107), which I assume you are using) Can you please clarify the error that you are seeing? Is the issue the lack of correct sensormodule or something else? (you can check if correct sensormodules are present in /usr/lib/camera after configuring the cameras). As a reminder, the J6L, maps to slot 0, J6U, slot 1, J7L slot 2 and J7U slot 3. Are you able to connect the 2 AR0144 cameras to J6 and J7? What is your goal - how many of each cameras do you need to use? We can test it. Alex

    More detailed GPS documentation would definitely help, especially for troubleshooting setup issues and understanding configuration differences between modules. Saves a lot of guesswork during integration.

    @Alex-Kushleyev I found that buying an off-the-shelf raspberry pi heatsink that is 14mm x 10mm (meant for the RAM chip) and combining with a fan works great for the underside of the SIP (on the opposite side of where the main board joins the Ethernet/USB board. Brought my temps down by at least 10-20 degrees even under intense load.

    @Alex-Kushleyev Thank you for the hint. We have fixed the issue by changing the resolution to 2704x1540 in the voxl-camera-server.conf. Now, the actual DFOV is 150°.

    Hi @qubotics-admin , Our understanding is that the voxl2_io driver should present itself as a generic PWM output (up to 8 channels) and you should be able to map any function you need to it. Although we have not explicitly tested every function. Can you please clarify which version of voxl-px4 you are using and elaborate on the "limited options" that you have for selecting the PWM function (what are you expecting to be able to set and what are the options).

    @Sarika-Sharma , The preview width and height parameters are always in the camera config file, so if you added them, they are duplicates (and will be ignored). Please read through this thread as it has pretty detailed explanation how to configure the correct tof sensor (old or new) for a custom configuration. Camera-server-config-helper is indeed helpful. If you use it correctly, you should not have to manually modify the resolution in the config file. If you still cannot get this to work, please let me know what cameras you have plugged in (and which camera ports) on your voxl 2 mini. Alex

    Hi @18257581 Sometimes our newer boards are lacking in full documentation, so thanks for your patience. We have not publicly posted our uCoax pinouts and not sure yet if we plan to. For now it is required to use our full solution which is host adapters, cables, and sensor boards. I'll bring it to the team. But, we are unlikely to open this up since in order for us to test the components, which are very fragile, they need to be bundled together and not separated, so it would actually cost us more (costing our customers more) to test units individually for customer designs. Only the Coax cable we sell individually and that is pinned 1:1 with all 26 conductors present unlike some of the other COTS FPV systems. However, for JST and other cable-to-board and board-to-board connectors, yes, we need to get that listed. The pinout on J4 of M0201 (the replacement for M0153) is in the same Dronecode inspired format we use at ModalAI for UART + I2C, but in this case since it is not UART, it is 2 GPIOS. So, Pin 1 = 3.3V Pin 2 = GPIO_1 (Undefined/Unavailable/Reserved for Future Use) Pin 3 = GPIO_2 (Undefined/Unavailable/Reserved for Future Use) Pin 4 = GIMBAL_I2C_SDA (3.3V Logic Levels, 2.2K pull-up resistor present) Pin 5 = GIMBAL_I2C_SCL (3.3V Logic Levels, 2.2K pull-up resistor present) Pin 6 = GND

    The latest firmware for M0065 can be found on gitlab here or directly on voxl2 in /usr/share/modalai/voxl2-io-tools/firmware/ Once updated, the firmware will be detected as version 2. The previous version 1 is no longer supported due to several bugs. Alex

    @Morten-Nissov Likely should all be off, it's been a while since I've had one of these come across my desk. I'll see if I can find one to reference.
