This is most likely due to the updated version of camera server and vio applications, as performance enhances may have impact on the cpu / gpu usage. We can help double check this. A few suggestions:

if you are able, can you please use voxl-inspect-cpu to measure the top CPU consumers for both drones and post here. This way we can check if something looks abnormal. Both drones should be in the same state (on bench, everything running.. or whatever environment you want to test in).
you can downgrade your new drone to earlier SDK and see if the CPU usage / temps reduce to original value

Hi @hartll244 , Please see these related posts.

VOXL 2 Mini falls under VOXL 2 as the core components are the same.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks!

Hi @marcos-correa Apologies for the delays here, I was out on leave for a couple weeks.
It sounds like the M0141 issue you might be having is very similar to this one:

It's important to use 5mm spacers between any VOXL 2 plug-in board, especially if it only picks up J3 and not J5, since that leave all the pins on J5 vulnerable to contacting circuitry from whatever plug-in board is installed. Symptoms from that contact are most certainly proven to be resets and brown outs, as we have seen that before.
If you are already using spacers between your board, then I'd need to think about other potential root causes.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!

Hi @schuyler.kellogg
Sorry for the delays, I was out for a couple weeks. We have many of the MCBL-00022 in stock, checking with the team why it was removed from our store. It should be an active product. Hang tight and sorry for the confusion. Hopefully by tomorrow all the links for purchasing MCBL-00022 will be active again.
Thanks!
Thanks!

It looks like we have one M10000633 on hand. Reach out to https://modalai.com/contact and see if they can get it to you

We have added the pinouts here: https://docs.modalai.com/M0155/

The older Starling 2 batteries are DJI Mini 2, or very similar. So, you might be able to make those work. We wouldn't be able to tell you how effectively you could hack different motors together. That seems far riskier than soldering.

Drones can be dangerous, it is not advisable to hack parts together.

The Starling 2 batteries are 2S LiIon. 2S Sony VTC6 3000mAh 2S 7.4V, 10C discharge

Yes, we have tested a few USB (UVC) cameras and they can continuously live stream. So we need to figure out what is causing the problem on your setup.
