Hi everyone,

We are currently considering attaching a Flir thermal camera to my Starling 2. 
I was very happy to read, that now the Boson+ is now fully supported, and the respective boards are available. 

Now we are trying to assess, whether we should directly upgrade to a Hadron or "only" a Boson. 
Is the Hadron supported in the same way as the Boson (since a Boson is inside the Hadron as well)? 

Thank you very much for your assistance!

@smiley ,

The Boson and Hadron are supported the same way by the VOXL2 camera pipeline (same drivers, camera server settings). You just need to use the correct cables / interposers for connecting the sensor depending on the selection of Boson or Hadron. There is no distinction at all from the VOXL2 SW and it does not know whether a standalone Boson or Boson inside Hadron is connected.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.
