    I'd like to test the VOXL stack capabilities on one of our existing vehicles which is using a Pixhawk 6X as the flight computer. Our custom flight control code is generated using Simulink/MATLAB embedded code generation.

    Is there a way to use the VOXL CAM perception module to generate odometry/object detection etc and pair with our external Pix 6X? Or do we need to use the onboard flight controller? If so, can we still use our MATLAB code generation toolchain?
