I'm planning to integrate a Rangefinder with my existing setup consisting of VOXL2 compute for reliable height estimation in constrained environments.</p>
<p dir="auto">At present I'm using the Image sensors from Starling 1 for my indoor flight requirements. I'm planning to upgrade to the new sensors(AR0144 Tracking, IMX412 - Hires with COAX connectors) with the COAX Cables.</p>
<p dir="auto">I was checking for development of STM VL53L1CX rangefinder along with Flir Lepton (M0157 -1) board as well. I have few queries on this,</p>
<ol>
<li>Is the development for M0157 - 1 complete and when would it be released? Along with the new <a href="https://www.modalai.com/products/m0173?variant=48528274456880" rel="nofollow ugc">MDK-M0173 product</a> would M0157 module also be available for purchase along with that in future?</li>
</ol>

<ol start="2">
<li>The M0157-1 uses a 8 pin JST-GH type connector <a href="https://docs.modalai.com/cable-datasheets/#mcbl-00105" rel="nofollow ugc">MCBL-00105-1</a> for connecting between M0173 and the board itself. The schematics for this cable connector is not yet mentioned? Could you share the schematics?</li>
</ol>
