    We are working on building a custom quadcopter around the VOXL 2 compute platform, and were hoping to receive some advice on the selection of accessories.
    We would prefer to select components that have a proven track record of compatibility with the VOXL 2.

    Vision (for onboard object detection)
    We are considering a multi-camera approach using either

    • High-res camera
    • Global shutter camera
      With different lenses
      Question: Does the Global shutter camera also include a removable lens?

    Data Radio (for 2-way control and telemetry communication with GCS)
    We are looking at the Microhard data radios
    Question: for relatively low-datarate comms (no video transmission) at ranges of up to 2km is the 2.4 GHz microhard or the 1800 MHz preferable? Also is the 900 MHz version compatible with the VOXL 2 ecosystem as well?

    GNSS System
    Are all GNSS receivers listed on the PX4 page with a uart connection compatible with the VOXL 2 or is it more nuanced?
    Any specific recommendations on GNSS modules that are easy to integrate are appreciated.

    Key requirements:

    • Autonomous outdoor navigation with GNSS
    • Control and telemetry monitoring from a ground control station at ranges of 0.5-2 km
    • Onboard visual object detection of objects at a range of up to 200 m
    • No VIO
