Re: [VOXL2 USB-C Port for accessory/peripheral](/topic/3016/voxl2-usb-c-port-for-accessory-peripheral)

As mentioned in the post above it seems like using the usb-c port on the voxl2 for peripheral devices is not possible. I  can't find anything in the docs regarding this (perhaps I'm blind). I tested this "theory" by connecting an orbbec astra stereo u3 over the usb-port and the devices was not recognized. I plugged it into the usb2 port of the 5g modem and everything worked just fine. Could someone please give me an explanation for this or a link that explains reason for that behavior?
