  Hi @Alex-Gardner I guess the voxl-configure-camera was overwriting the voxl-camera-server file, bypassing that allowed us to get streams from both the IMX412 camera via the voxl-portal command. Refer Following image:  The required part of getting two parallel streams from 2 IMX412 camera onthe VOXL2 board seem to be achieved. I case of any further doubts on this activity will open a new thread. Thanks for your support.

  @Amither There are multiple parts of the processing chain that can affect video quality. What type of network link are you using (e.g. WiFi, Ethernet, etc.)? I often start with Ethernet to make sure that I can get everything working well without having to deal with the uncertainties of a wireless link. Then, when everything is as good as I can get it over Ethernet I will switch to wireless and see how that affects the quality. Just out of curiosity, what does your custom GStreamer plugin voxlsrc do?

  Thanks for the replies. The use case is low-bandwidth, short range communication to the VOXL using low-energy devices, which only have BLE.

  @Vinny Hey thank you for the clarification, and I'm sorry to bug you like that on your vacation. Being in a technical field most of my life I understand the stress and how the devil is always in the details! By all means take a break and have some good R&R! Cheers!

  My poor eyesight and impatience have led to the separation of the J1 DF13 connector from the FC motherboard. The pads were liberated from the board itself with no chance of re-solder. Since the FC is fine other than that, I'd like to know if I can switch the Voxl Comms link to 1: J5? Is there a level-shift available here like on J1, or could the level-shift from 5-3.3v be done externally first? Software changes to make it work? 2: Could I use one of the 2 USB ports on the modem board to accomplish the same thing directly to the FC USB port? Software tweaks for that? 3: any other possible UART on the FC I can use? Any input that will help me save $ by not buying another FC would be helpful..

  @tom Tom, Thanks for the Saturday reply! I' know I won't be able to ping the device's IP from the internet, just like I can't ping my phone or any other cellular device. They're inside the carrier's NAT'd subnet. I get that. But I cannot ping any public ip FROM the device. At the end of that old thread, he shows the Voxl pinging 8.8.8.8 and getting a response. I still don't, after following all of the suggestions in that thread. Like I said, I can get a DNS response if I ping a hostname, just no response to the ICMP from the host. Things that might help me: Another SIM from a different carrier or (or carrier's reseller, as most of the IoT SIM providers tout using ATT, T-Mobile and Verizon's networks, but have their own APN's..) to try. I'm working on that. In the meantime, coming from my early beginnings jockeying Hayes modems from DOS 3.3 running a BBS (Bulletin Board System, the pre-internet way we communicated..) I'm familiar with the Hayes AT command set (or used to be..) so I'd like a document (that I can't find on the Sierra site) listing my modem's AT command set so I can dig deeper into this problem myself. The Tailscale VPN looks nice and may be the simplest route (at a cost, and once I can actually talk to the outside world with this thing..) but I'm linking to a good video for you guys to look at. This guy is pretty savvy, and what he's doing here works. Without a VPN I might add.. The reverse SSH tunnel is quite interesting. Worth a look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IokyotAGbJI

  @Sam-Kiley We don't use the RB5 SDK anymore so haven't had experience with that specific version of quectel-CM is quite some time. We have a lot of customers using 5G via. voxl-modem on the latest VOXL SDK without issues.

  Vinny! You're the man! Good news but a little backround first. I've been building drones for a long time, but I come from the "Other side" using a windows box to configure APMs then Pixhawks with Arducopter using Mission Planner. When I got this thing, I literally built an Ubuntu workstation just to talk to it. I'm an old guy that used to live on the DOS commandl line, but I really have to hone my Linux skills (almost nonexistent..) for this project. Outside of the Arduino IDE and some ancient BASIC, I'm no coder, but I understand microcontrollers, serial, I2C, CAN etc pretty well because I come from an industrial automation background. (Amazon Fulfillment Center Controls lead configuring Cognex and Sick every day..) I figured out the serial ports. (I was using the freaking asterisk in the QGC parameter search box like a typical DOS jockey!) I found that in the 1.11.3 firmware the serial parameters are bit masks and numeric with no real reference for me, but in the latest PX4 release they have a dropdown and real names and values, so I loaded it, changed TELEM1 to 921k and Mavlink mode 2 (offboard), saved the params, then loaded your 1.11.3 custom version back up and restored the params. Done deal. Now I just need the level shifters I ordered today and I can try it out. BTW I also ordered two connector kits, one with a pile of GH 1.25's and the other with a pile of DF13's. I've been meaning to get them for a while cause' I have a huge collection of parts that just don't quite match up and also because I wear my super-re-pinner badge proudly! I'll let you guys know how the level shifters work. I ordered two types, one with multiple mosfets and one with the TXS0108E chip so I can see what works best when it goes back together. Thanks for your prompt and helpful reply!

  @ryan-langlois1 We will definitely continue to support PX4 on VOXL 2. But we are also very interested in getting a port of ArduPilot going on VOXL 2 and have had some preliminary meetings with the ArduPilot community to start the process. But we cannot offer a timeline at this point.
