Tracking Camera bricks Boot

[danielh]

Hi,
We just received the voxl flight with a tracking and HiRes camera. However as soon as I connect the tracking camera, no wifi hotspot will show up anymore. When only connecting the HiRes camera I can connect to wifi, start camera server and streamer and view the stream in qgc.
How do I proceed with troubleshooting the tracking camera?

Please make sure the board is completely powered off before attaching or removing cameras.

It is most likely you are connecting the tracking camera backwards. Please validate pin 1 is lined up properly on the connectors before inserting, you can see each pin 1 marked with a red dot here: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-flight-datasheet-connectors/

Thanks this fixed it. It was connected backwards. Maybe this can be marked a bit clearer in the docs, I think it’s quite unintuitive having the cable going inwards the board when not using the extension.
