      I am working on integrating a Next Vision Trip2 Module to one of our systems that has a VOXL2. The VOXL2 is currently running the PX4 service for flight control. So I am assuming this would be slightly different than running a external AP.

      I currently have the Trip2 module connected via UART to the VOXL2 via J3 on MDK-M0151-1-00 (USB3.0/UART Expansion Board)

      The Graphic below shows the desired architecture of the system.

      I have seen in a older post on the forums that the engineers at ModalAI have experience with integrating with the Next Vision ecosystem. I would like some guidance on this integration project. I have been able to get this working using a Cube running PX4 but this will be the first time trying to get it working with VOXL2.

        @Chase-Riley Our experience was with integrating the camera / gimbal directly to VOXL 1. We did not use the Trip 2 computer.

          @Eric-Katzfey Should it be possible to use the Trip2 with VOXL2 as I showed above? Would also be interested in hearing how you went about using the camera/gimbal without the Trip module with VOXL1. Do you think this approach would would work with VOXL2 as well?

            @Chase-Riley I'm not really familiar with how that Trip 2 computer works so I can't really say if what you are proposing would work or not. Are you proposing that all the mavlink packets from px4 on VOXL 2 goes through Trip 2 to the Doodle radio? For VOXL 1 we had to bridge the HDMI to MIPI and it was a lot of work to get that all going. It should be possible on VOXL 2 as well, but likely a lot of work to make it happen. Going through Trip 2 might be a smoother route.

              @Eric-Katzfey Yes the Mavlink Packets will be sent form PX4 running on the VOXL2 through the Trip Module and then to the Doodle, and vice versa for the data flow from the GCS to PX4.

              My understanding is that the Trip is just running a extension of Mavlink to allow for specific gimbal and camera commands. Also it is performing Video compression.
