      @Alex-Kushleyev

      Ok, so I swapped the two M0135 boards and found that the lower port on one of the boards (the one originally on J7) does not work. And I still could not get the TOF sensor to work. So technically we could get away with using the broken board on the left side and enabling port 1 in the kernel, but if we are replacing the TOF sensor then it may be easier to just replace a M0135 board. The goal of our capstone project is to work with both VSLAM and target detection, so I believe we will need a working depth sensor for that (correct me if I'm wrong??). As far as using the new TOF module, that's fine with us, however, I'm just unsure about it fitting correctly and the ribbon cable routing so we may need some assistance with that. We can also 3D print a mounting bracket as well.

      @Myles-Levine Nevermind, I got it working through the voxl interface instead of Qgroundcontrol. Thank you.

      Hi @Haxerus ,

      I will double check regarding enabling J10 in spi mode on VOXL2 Mini.

      Can you please confirm that you did all 3 changes:

      the DTS changes you listed below used the older devcfg.mbn file from SDK 1.0.0 configure the level shifters to SPI mode using voxl-gpio -w 67 1

      Can you please clarify which second i2c channel was used in your test for the 2nd lepton?

      Thanks!

      Alex

      @Moderator The description to MCBL-00128 (https://docs.modalai.com/cable-datasheets/#mcbl-00128), the TOF for the Voxl 2 Mini says it's supported with M0188 (https://docs.modalai.com/M0189/) without specifying any sub P/N (-1 or -2), even in the documentation of the M0188 doesn't say anything about P/N -1 or -2 (https://docs.modalai.com/M0188/).

      @Moderator Order #7559

      And, yes I ordered the configuration without the radio? But I wasn't told that it wouldn't include a GPS module?

      Where to find the ToF and Hires sensors calibration?

      @jimbow77 and @oasisartisan ,

      TOF V1 (which is now EOL, so you don't have it on Starling 2 Max) was set up the following way:

      The calibration data was downloaded the first time the sensor was used and stored in /data/misc/camera/, then re-used for next time calibration files include pmd.spc, tof_cal_eeprom.bin and irs10x0c_lens.cal - the latter likely containing the intrinsics calibraiton data (although i have not checked explicitly)

      TOF V2 (what is shipping in Starling 2 (and Max) ), is set up so that the TOF Library downloads (via i2c) the calibration data each time the voxl-camera-server starts. This is done internally to the TOF libraries. I don't know exactly why there is a difference between how the calib data is handled for two sensors by the TOF software, but this is how our sensor vendor helped us set it up. The TOF processing software downloads the calibration from the sensor each time voxl-camera-server starts and applies it to generate the point cloud. It may be possible to get the TOF intrinsics using the TOF library API, but we have not checked.

      Do you have a specific reason why the TOF intrinsics are needed?

      If you wanted to calibrate the TOF sensor yourself, then you would either need a checkerboard some material that is IR reflective ("white") and non-reflective ("black"). Alternatively, you could use an array of IR leds (or IR reflective dots + IR light) and use dot pattern detector as opposed for checkerboard for calibration.

      Regarding Hi-res cameras, the intrinsics are not calibrated and not included. It can be calibrated using our camera calibration app (voxl-camera-calibration), but you should do it at half resolution or smaller (not full size like 4056x3040), otherwise the app runs very slowly. If you need more details how to calibrate at high resolution, let me know (involves downscaling exactly by a factor of 2 and then upscaling the resulting intrinsics)

      @jon For MONOTONIC the apps side uses the slpi version so that they are in sync. Your application should use apps MONOTONIC. PX4 will convert it using timesync.

      @joshuagaus Sorry, but SBUS is not supported. That option will be hidden in future SDK releases to prevent confusion.

      Can the ToF sensor differentiate between out of range and no information ?
