Hi, I have recently purchased a TOf camera for mapping, I have tried to connect it with my voxl-2, I belive I'm missing somehting. I have interposers MDK-M0076-1-00, and a dual camera adapter  MSU-M0084-1-01.

I couldn't figure out what I missed for this, please any suggestions?

Thank you, 
Best.

@voxl-phoenix , Can you please clarify which TOF camera you purchased and what connectors / cables it came with? There are several versions / options.

If you can include a photo of the TOF camera and the cables it came with, that would help as well.

Thanks!

Alex

Hi @voxl-phoenix 
Please see these notes from here: https://docs.modalai.com/M0178/
![7db61fbf-5125-4b8f-94e8-f2e5ba9169c5-image.png](https://forum.modalai.com/assets/uploads/files/1738368121415-7db61fbf-5125-4b8f-94e8-f2e5ba9169c5-image.png)
So, you have several options of different HW to buy...
The easiest which gives you more support of other image sensors is the Starling Front End Imager Unit, M0173: This link is without any extra image sensors ...

https://www.modalai.com/collections/image-sensors/products/m0173?variant=48528274391344

Most variants include that exact set of ToF components you have, so you could get the version with tracking/HiRes sensors if you need that capability: ![1e33bb80-aacb-4b3e-a55c-afb4262dbf82-image.png](https://forum.modalai.com/assets/uploads/files/1738368314955-1e33bb80-aacb-4b3e-a55c-afb4262dbf82-image.png) 
(note, the $79.99 is just board only and not updated since I did not click through the option).

Hope this helps!

@voxl-phoenix And I want to add that the two adapters (M0084 and M0135) on the bottom of your image are not used at all in this system.

@Vinny  Thank you so much for the info. I already have tracking and IMX412 cameras. I want to just buy Board. I have a small query, do I need any extra cables or connectors to connect this frontend camera connecter to VOXL 2 or does it come with the board when I order just the board only?

Thank you.

Hi @voxl-phoenix 
Yes, that M0177 flex you have plugs direct into the M0173 board 40-pin connector here: ![2a2a4f8f-6b90-4ea5-937e-d0b0426ccf36-image.png](https://forum.modalai.com/assets/uploads/files/1738469389563-2a2a4f8f-6b90-4ea5-937e-d0b0426ccf36-image.png) 
Please pay attention to the "+" and "-" notes in silkscreen for proper orientation.

Hope this helps!
Thanks!
