FLIR Lepton on Starling 2 Max

[RyanH]

Is it possible to procure and plug in a FLIR Lepton 3.5 sensor into the Starling 2 Max as sold? I was told that there were potential SW issues, but it should work. One of the pictures on the Starling 2 Max product page suggests that this would only be supported on the C29 SKU/config; however, I only have C28 configs. Can you confirm that this will or will not work on the Starling 2 Max C28 config? Also, is this the correct sensor model: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/flir-lepton/500-0771-01/7606616?s=N4IgTCBcDaIKwAYEFoEHY0EZWZAXQF8g

Thanks!

@RyanH , The FLIR Lepton socket should be included with your Starling 2 Max, you should be able to see it at the bottom. Assuming the socket is there, you just need to plug in Flir Lepton 3.5 and enable the voxl-lepton-server.

After installing voxl-lepton-server, you will need to configure the correct i2c and spi port, as described here : https://docs.modalai.com/M0173/#downward-range-finder-and-flir-lepton

The link you provided seems to be a standard Flir Lepton 3.5, so it should work (160x120 resolution)
