TOF Sensor Not Working on ModalAI Starling 2 Drone
-
Hello everyone,
I’m having an issue with the TOF sensor on my Starling 2 drone. The sensor appears to be detected, but it consistently fails to start in voxl-camera-server. Here’s what I see in the logs when I run:
journalctl -u voxl-camera-server
Starting Camera: tof (id #3) ERROR: Camera 3 failed to find supported preview config: 240x1629 WARNING: Failed to start cam tof due to invalid resolution WARNING: assuming cam is missing and trying to compensate
Below is the relevant config for the TOF sensor:
cam #3 name: tof sensor type: pmd-tof-liow2 isEnabled: 1 camId: 3 camId2: -1 fps: 10 en_rotate: 1 en_rotate2: 0 en_preview: 1 pre_width: 240 pre_height: 1629 en_raw_preview: 1 en_small_video: 0 small_video_width: -1 small_video_height: -1 en_large_video: 0 large_video_width: -1 large_video_height: -1 en_snapshot: 0 snap_width: -1 snap_height: -1 exif_focal_length: 0.000000 exif_focal_len_35mm_format: 0 exif_fnumber: 0.000000 ae_mode: off msv_exposure_min_us: 0 msv_exposure_max_us: 6000 standby_enabled: 0 decimator: 5 independent_exposure:0
I tried resetting the camera configuration to the default (config 27), but the issue persists. The M0177 flex connector also appears fine on both ends, so I don’t suspect any obvious physical damage.
I found this forum post describing a similar issue, but I haven’t been able to solve my problem using the information there.
Has anyone else encountered this resolution error (240x1629) or have any insights on getting the TOF sensor to work correctly on the Starling 2? Any tips or troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
