Hi everyone, I recently upgraded my VOXL2 Starling drone to the C26 camera package. I didn’t have the TOF sensor and needed one to run the VOXL Mapper (and have obstacle avoidance). I disassembled the drone, removed the old camera interface modules. Then installed the new camera interface module (now a larger single board). I then reassembled the drone. I’m running into an issue with my VOXL-2 board (M0054-2) after attempting to update the camera to a C26 configuration. Here’s what I’ve done so far: I 3D printed the mounts and connected everything according to the C26 setup. After connecting the new camera, the drone powers on, plays the boot chime, and shows the following status lights: D1: Green DS1: Green However, the drone doesn’t fully boot and doesn’t show up via USB connection. Troubleshooting Steps Taken: I tried putting the drone into fastboot mode, but it still didn’t register any USB connection. (I couldn’t confirm visually if it entered fastboot mode as there don’t seem to be any indicator lights for this.) I followed the Emergency Download Mode guide ( https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-unbricking/ ) to attempt a recovery. I reached the “Provision” step, where I was supposed to provision the device through the web UI. However, this step failed. I could see Qualcomm’s chip listed in my USB devices, so there seems to be some connectivity at that level. At this point, I’m stuck and not sure how to proceed. Has anyone experienced something similar or have any suggestions on how to get the drone up and running again? Thanks, Daniel

@ antenna-eng Can you try removing any peripherals including cameras from the board and see if you can get it to enumerate?
