@RoyAzriel I'll send you an email with a link to the latest SDK. It is largely untested on starling2-max which is why it isn't available on our public downloads page yet.

@Jetson-Nano We have some documentation about integrating voxl2 with a 3rd party VTX here: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-with-third-party-vtx/. Hope this helps!

Hi Christopher We currently support two forms of recording, both at the pilot internal to the VRX onboard storage on goggles to the SD Card We do have on our list to implement recording at the UAS itself, but that will need to be in a future software update.

Similarly, I cannot find the model for the new "slim" VTX mount, only the older, taller one.

@Alex-Kushleyev @Eric-Katzfey I would appreciate any updates or recommendations regarding the integration and availability of the M0189 VOXL 2 Mini ToF sensor. Thank you for your continued support.

@Ebenezer-Afrifa , sorry, but Starling 2 Max is not capable of carrying such a large payload. We currently do not offer any platforms capable of carrying 3-4 pounds. Alex

Hi @wilkinsaf Thank you for this post! I had the same issue and was able to solve it using these steps.

@Samuel-Marchetti Perhaps this can help with the odometry? https://forum.modalai.com/topic/3341/odometry-message/3?_=1782862595827

@saegsali BTW, the voxl_i2c commands are only going to try to exercise apps processor mapped i2c buses, not the DSP mapped ones on J19. Stick with the PX4 commands, those should work. And when you start PX4 from the command line use the -d option so that it doesn't start in daemon mode. E.g. MINIMAL_PX4=1 voxl-px4 -d.

@nickanick is this the right place to ask these questions?

Hi @Alex-Kushleyev , My apologies for the confusion. To be precise: we didn't add any third-party or custom heatsink. However, to replace the damaged 4K and ToF camera flex cables, we did have to unscrew the VOXL 2 board from the frame to access the connectors safely. Once the new cables were plugged in and the board was screwed back into place, the ICM42688 PCB damage / clock line disconnected error appeared. I have attached the pictures of the current assembly inside our Starling 2 so you can verify that the M0054 board, the integrated cooling plate, and all camera flex cables are correctly in place and undamaged from the outside. Given the log and the pictures, what do you propose we do to get the drone operational again?

@Raiyan-Alam said in Is there a way to power this Wi-Fi Adapter + Radio using this specific ModalAI UART adapter board?: rfd900x Hi @Raiyan-Alam, My suggestion: keep the Wi-Fi adapter on USB and feed the RFD900X separately. You can pull an extra 5V feed using this power module cable, which splices off a 5V red JST SFHR connector: https://docs.modalai.com/cable-datasheets/#mcbl-00095 Splice from that into the RFD900X's 5V input. For the M0151, don't power the RFD900X off USB but pull it directly from the power module supplying VOXL 2 instead.

Yes, please check the downloads section. C26 , C27 come with TOF sensors, so the CAD model for those variants should contain the correct front camera mount (please let us know if you have an issue finding it). Also, we do sell a replacement plastics kit for Starling 2 Max (https://www.modalai.com/products/starling-2-max-replacement-parts) but it is not clear which front camera mount it has.. checking.. Alex

@NikosMav Yes, things will get hotter when running QVIO. But once you arm and start the props everything will cool down. When reflashing the SDK I would grab one of the official releases from our downloads page and not a nightly.

Hi team — just bumping this in case it slipped through. We're ready to buy one evaluation unit and would really appreciate a quick steer: can the Stinger Vision FPV run AUTONOMOUS VIO/SLAM + AprilTag precision landing, or would Starling 2 / Starling 2 Max be the better evaluation platform for the requirements above? I've also emailed sales@modalai.com in parallel, so whichever channel is easier works for us. Thanks!

Sorry to hear that. https://www.modalai.com/pages/rma You can provide a link to this post when you submit it.

if no internet is available onboard llm+NPU can help repairing-agent to fix the issue or provide reason of failure.

Hello Timothy, Excellent! That is certainly possible to do. Yes, with some configuration it can be compatible. You will need to reconfigure MPA from the C28 camera config to the C29 camera config. They will need a new front camera bezel(M10001278), TOF safety shield(M10000537) and everything in MSU-M0178-1-01. Most of the hardware can be reused but as a precaution would also recommend QTY. 4 M10000884(M1.6X6 Screws) & QTY. 4 M10000882(M2.2X10 Screws). If you would like to proceed with the purchase, please email contact@modalai.com with the contents above. Regards.

@PatkirkMartin In order to toggle power via PX4 you can do the following: Set GPIO_CTL_CH to the AUX channel you'd like to use for this feature, e.g., 3 for RC_MAP_AUX3. Set the corresponding RC_MAP_AUX# to the button/switch you want to use. e.g. 10 for channel 10 on your RC transmitter.
