How is the power supply from the APM provided to the Seeker? Does the APM regulated 5V plug into the flight core on the Seeker, or does it plug into J1 connector on the VOXL Cam? 

If the APM provides power to the flight core, does the flight core then provide power to the VOXL Cam? The documentation here is a little lacking: https://docs.modalai.com/seeker-datasheet/

I see that there is an i2c connection from the APM to the Flight Core, but what about the power/ground leads?

@m1baldwin the VOXL-CAM gets powered by MCBL-00011-1, which is a Y-cable that powers both the VOXL & Flight-Core. Both get 5V power.

Essentially, Flight-Core gets power through J6 & VOXL will get it's power through J1.
