Has anyone integrated Starling 2 with Sylvus radios?

@Moderator Thanks for the quick response!

Does this mean we need to purchase the additional expansion board or are there available USB (or IO) available on the VOXL2 out of the box?

If an additional expansion board is required, I was looking at this one https://docs.modalai.com/m0062/. It doesn't look like it comes with any cables. Which cables would I need to purchase to connect this board to the VOXL2?

@PD_NODA The M0062 provides USB. We don't know the pinout of the Sylvus radio, you would likely need to design a custom cable for integration

@Moderator To be clear, I was asking for the cabling from ModalAI's expansion board to ModalAI's VOXL2 board. Do you sell this cable?

Also can you anser:

@PD_NODA The M0062 expansion board seats directly on VOXL 2. No cabling needed

@tom Thanks, Tom.

Can you help me with answering whether or not there are USB ports available with the Starling 2 Max out of the box?

I'm still trying to figure out if I need to purchase the M0062.

@PD_NODA It depends on the SKU you ordered, can you post a picture of the hardware?

I am holding short on making a bulk purchase until I better understand some of these questions, but these are the two models we are considering:

5G, Wifi, and Ghost : MRB-D0012-4-V2-C28-M24-T9-K0

4G, Wifi, and Ghost : MRB-D0012-4-V2-C28-M20-T9-K0

Thanks a ton for all the help!

@PD_NODA Both of those will have USB ports you will be able to access without needing an additional add-on board.

The USB ports will either be exposed via a 4-pin (USB2) or 10-pin (USB3) JST.

If you want to connect a USB-A device to these ports you'll want to use these cables:

@PD_NODA For clarity, your 5G drone will have an M0090 add-on board, while your 4G drone will have an M0130 add-on board pre-installed

Wonderful! Thank you. That answers my question.
