cloud points

Steve Turner

@Zeev-Mindali https://docs.modalai.com/camera-connections/ lists the various supported camera connections and which ports to attach them.

We have 2d and 3d models of the sensor here, if you're trying to create a finished product and not use a voxl-cam we'd recommend designing a bezel around the sensor models that we provide to best fit your specific needs.

saw the 3d, it's not what i looking for

i make it short.
i bought voxl flight deck v1 with hires,stereo,tracking
and for the cloud points i now understand i need tof,stereo,tracking.

i think if i asked for the setup with the tof, i could get all connected in specific plastic.
i willing to buy the tof camera, but i would like the plastic in front of the flight deck that will support the tof camera, rather then hires camera.

is there any step file to print the front side with tof?

Unfortunately we don't have any such design, the flight deck was not designed to hold the TOF sensor since it's mainly for outdoor platforms. The step file for the flight deck can be found here, it shouldn't be too hard to modify the front plate yourself and print a new one if you'd like to add a TOF cam.

Zeev Mindali

ok,

understood, I ordered the tof camera, hoping for the best

@Alex-Gardner one sec before I buy the tof camera
I see there is an extension cable is it come along with the camera, or I need to purchase it separately ?

second thing, can you print the 3d model of the tof camera, and what will be the cost of that?

The MSU-M0040-1-01 kit connects directly to VOXL, it contains the TOF module and an adapter flex for VOXL.

Zeev Mindali

so all I need is to buy the tof camera, and I will get the extension as in the picture?

Chad Sweet

It is not an extension, it is an adapter that connects the TOF module to the VOXL. It is included in MSU-M0040-1-01. We do not sell the TOF module without an adapter.

@Chad-Sweet
sweet, placing an order.
it will give me the cloud point, right? want to be sure

Chad Sweet

Anything that produces a depth map can be used to create a point cloud. Both the stereo sensors, using depth from stereo, and TOF generate depth maps. The stereo sensors are best for outdoor use, the TOF sensor is best for indoor use.

Zeev Mindali

last question :
I could not see the point cloud with stereo , but since I need it to indoor solution, I will use tof anyway.

I using the drone without any GPS module (don't need it)
but I could not to change from manual to mission nor off board.

when I change the gps to rc transmitter (first option) I was able to get move to mission
but only left stick worked (up down rotate) the second stick won't work (forward and rotation)

is there a way to move to mission without gps module?
