Starling V2 cameras not being detected

Leo Allesch

Hi I am working on a starling v2 with the C6 camera configuration and the HiRes and TOF sensor are not being detected by the camera server. I have tried upgrading the SDK to the newest version, and tried multiple times to ensure the correct camera configuration is being used. I have also inspected the physical connections and they also seem to be connected in the correct slot, and the ribbon cables do not look damaged.

Here is this error that I am gettiing when running voxl-camera-server

Starting Camera: tof (id #0)
ERROR:   Camera 0 failed to find supported preview config: 224x1557

The error says invalid resolution and invalid preview config, but when I go to disable the preview for TOF and change the Hires resolution in the config at /etc/modal/voxl-camera-server.conf the changes are not used and a default config is used instead.

The correct sensormodules are also present in /usr/lib/camera

@Leo-Allesch , please double check that all your cameras are connected as shown in the diagram on this page : https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-d0005/ (and double check the pin1 locations for each camera)

Can you provide which cameras are detected by camera server (output of voxl-camera-server -l, just the top part)

Also, please list the complete contents of /usr/lib/camera/

Thanks!

Alex
