    Hello,
    I am not getting any data or camera feed from my dfs_disparity.

    There is no camera feed in VOXL Web Portal.

    I get this error when I try to inspect the dfs_disparity in terminal.

    voxl:~$ voxl-inspect-points dfs_disparity

    There is also an error in QGC v4.2.3 saying that there is a collision avoidance error.
    Sometimes VOA works, and sometimes it does not work. These tests were conducted in a well lit and pattern floor area with no reflective obstacles in the room.

    Any ideas as to what might be causing the problem?
