Starling 2 VIO Failure
-
Hello! I am struggling to resolve an issue with our starling 2. In the process of building and deploying our own offboard mode, it seems that we have introduced a problem. We have since cloned the voxl-vision-hub repo, and built and deployed it in attempt to get back to square one. We cannot get VIO to work properly anymore. Please help me determine how to make progress!
