      Hi,

      I've been developping on the starling 2 for some times now but last week, my TOF sensor stopped working and it's like it doesn't eaven exist now.

      I've tried to recover it by flashing everything to default multiple time but it didn't work.

      I don't know what it is but now I'm stuck, I cannot continue on my project, can you help me ?

      Julien

        Hi @Judoor-0
        We have had one other report of something similar where the ToF connector flex comes loose from it's connector located on the M0173 board from high vibe or several hard landings.

        If you can see whether or not the connector from the M0177 ToF flex looks like it is not planar on the mating M0173 board, try to use something rather benign electrically (like plastic tweezers) and see if you can reseat the connector into the M0173 board.
        We have a good description of these connections shown here: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-coax-camera-bundles/

        We are going to add in some additional mechanical support here to make sure this issue does not happen long term, despite high vibe/shock scenarios.

        If this does not seem to be your problem, please let us know and I'll have to tag someone from the SW team to help you debug further.
        Thanks!
