Hires Camera Extender
-
Hello,
I have a couple of the extender cables https://www.modalai.com/collections/cables-1/products/m0036
For my M0052 hires camera. voxl-camera-manager is not complaining, but voxl-portal does not show anything.
I tried lowering framerate and resolution, but no dice.It works well with the original cable. Any ideas/suggestions or information I can provide?

Hi @wilkinsaf
I am from HW, so the best thing I can ask for now is have you tried other M0036 cables and can you confirm the flexes were not bent/creased during your installation?For SW, to adjust the frame rate and resolution may not always actually lower the MIPI speeds. I'll have to ask someone from SW to respond for the proper way to do that, depending on your sensor. It is possible with the extra extension, you might be on the operating edge of some of the interfaces.
We are working on some application notes and guides on this, but here is a little snippet we have on this topic, purely from a HW viewpoint.

@Vinny No problem at all Vinny! And thank you for the quick response.
We will probably just integrate a USB camera and utilize voxl-uvc-server. Not a huge deal, just wanted to poke around and see if it was possible.
No cables were bent or creased. I have not tried other M0036 cables. Just the 14.5cm one.Also, thank you for the https://storage.googleapis.com/modalai_public/modal_drawings/How long can I have our image sensor cables.pdf
That actually does a great job at explaining what is going on

Hi @wilkinsaf
Glad we could help somewhat.
We are focusing on improving our HW Design and Integration aspects.
We have two spots already setup to help everyone with custom HW, but it may take some time for me to author all the elements
But, please check these pages every few weeks to see if there are any new topics that may help
