@Muqing-Cao Here is the latest beta release: https://storage.googleapis.com/platform-beta-releases/voxl2/voxl2_SDK_1.6.3-beta1.tar.gz

@Moderator Thank you for the link. But he says he needs to get on a call with the technical team. It's a year already and I still don't know much about the drones (which may be from my end, I don't know), but he wants to handle this himself this time around and get all necessary information on a single call sometime early in January 2026. Kindly let me know if this is possible, and how to go about it.

Thanks

@Peter-Lingås-0 ,

We did have a sample batch of color AR0144 global shutter cameras, but i think we probably run out of those. I can double check. Due to low demand, we are not actively supporting them.

For general object detection applications, i would recommend IMX412 camera (M0161 part number, for example). This camera is 4056x3040 resolution, but it also supports 2x2 binned mode. The advantage of using binned mode (for this context), is reducing the rolling shutter effect.

The amount of rolling shutter distortion / skew is a function of the readout time (time between the start of exposure of first line and last line). This time depends on the camera and specific operating mode.

However, the IMX412 camera in combination with VOXL2 supports a 2x2 binned mode where you get a 1920x1080 image with only about 4.2ms of rolling shutter skew, meaning there is only 4.2ms between the first and last line. You can see more details on the readout time for different modes here : https://docs.modalai.com/camera-video/low-latency-video-streaming/#camera-pipeline-latency-in-different-operating-modes

Additionally, the IMX412 camera module has M12 lens mount, which allows for more flexibility in lens choice as well as supporting generally large lenses, which will improve image quality as well.

Would this be an option for you or is having a global shutter camera a requirement?

Thank you for your reply.

@mkriesel You'll need to re-flash the SDK and select the correct kernel option that supports C11.

When running ./install.sh you'll see the following options:

Would you like to continue with SDK install? 1) Yes, with questions along the way to configure VOXL 2 2) Yes, just update SDK keeping the same SKU configuration 3) No

Select, option 1, and you'll get the option to choose which kernel to flash

Detected: M0054-1 (QRB5165M) Detected: Config 1 w/ M0173 Breakout Board (Starling 2 Max, Starling 2, FPV V5) ======================================================================================================= In order to support all of VOXL's camera configurations, specific drones require differing kernel images. Please select your drone hardware to proceed with flashing the appropriate kernel image. ======================================================================================================= PLEASE SELECT WHICH KERNEL TO FLASH 0. M0054-1 -> QRB5165M, Starling (D0005), Sentinel (D0006), FPV V4 (D0008), D0010, PX4 Dev Kit (D0011) 1. M0054-1 -> QRB5165M w/ M0173 Camera Breakout Board, Starling 2 Max (D0012), Starling 2 (D0014), FPV V5 (D0008/D0019/D0020) Select your choice from the options above or press [Enter] to continue with current config:

For your use case, you'll want to select option 0 as you are not using an M0173 camera breakout board and the C11 camera config is inherited from the sentinel (D0006) platform.

@sansoy Can you please provide some details on your setup? What hardware are you using? Which software are you using (including versions)?
