    Hi! I am trying to adapt Starling 2 to the operations I have with my clients.

    For this I need to know first if the front camera is a camera that is used for the obstacle avoidance system and VIO, or if it is just a RGB camera that I can point downwards, so that I can run my own models on this camera, of course without affecting the obstacle avoidance system.

    If not, can I put an additional camera pointing downwards, so I can run my own YOLO model on it?

    I also need to know if I can put two lidars or ragefinders to be able to know the precise height up and down of the drone.

    Finally, I also need to protect the drone from the conditions in which it operates, can I build a case to wrap all the electronics, besides that, protect it from humidity and other factors, is this possible, is there a case I can buy for this?

    The idea is to be able to have a final product, adapting this great drone for these needs.

    thank you very much in advance

      @Daniel-Rincon The front and downward facing "tracking" cameras are used for VIO. The frontward and downward facing"hires" cameras are recommended for doing any sort of CV work.

      We don't supply a "shell" for the drone but have had customers do similar work
