    Hi!

    I was wondering if the cameras and interposer board remain powered on but on standby or if they are entirely powered off when the voxl-camera-server is not running.

    Thanks!

      @SKA ,

      Most of the supported cameras (except for Boson, Hadron) have their reset signal connected to VOXL2, so when the cameras are not in use, they are shut down via the reset pin. This means that the camera modules may still get power, but they are shut down.

      There are many power rails and interposers - some power rails remain on all the time (5.0, 3.8V) and others may be shut down by PMIC when not in use. Different cameras use different power rails for their operation, so it is hard to answer this question without knowing the specific use case.
