Disabling unneeded services
-
Hello,
My team is looking into disabling services that are enabled by default but unneeded for our use case to see if that helps at all with battery life. We are using the Starling 2 Max with PX4 and pre-programmed outdoor mission plans built in QGC. We aren't using the tracking cameras or GPS-denied flight features currently, but we are leveraging the hires cameras for recording, streaming with voxl-streamer, etc.
Do you see any potential consequences to disabling the following services for this type of usage?
- voxl-vision-hub
- voxl-qvio-server
- voxl-imu-server

@paul-ammer If you aren't doing any VIO related flight you can disable
voxl-qvio-serverandvoxl-imu-server. I believe you may still needvoxl-vision-hubif you're communicating with a ground control station but not 100% positive on that,voxl-mavlink-servermay be enough.
