Hi,
I'm using a Starling 2 Max drone with ToF. After I installed the VOXL SDK 1.5.0, all the cameras stopped working.

Can anyone please help me solve this issue?

@Rupesh , you should run `voxl-configure-mpa` or at least `voxl-configure-cameras` and make sure you select the correct camera configuration for Starling 2 Max, which could be C27, C28, C29 etc. The camera configuration is in the drone's SKU.

Please try. Let us know if you need any additional clarification.

@Alex-Kushleyev Thank you for your reply.  I did voxl-configure-mpa multiple times, but every time it fails to make the camera work. Also, I've tried multiple options in voxl-configure-cameras like 06, 02, 03, 19, but still won't work. I know that mine is D00012, but can't find it the options. I also cannot find C27, C28, C29 etc. in the options.

@Rupesh , can you run “voxl-version” and check which mach var (variant of the hardware / kernel) you have? It should be 1.0.1, not 1.0.0. When you install the sdk, you have to select the correct one, which installs the correct Linux Kernel and enables the camera configs for Starling drones, which use the M0173 camera front end.

Please double check this.

@Alex-Kushleyev Do you mean the mach. var.? Mine seems to be 1.0.0. So, which latest SDK version should I be installing?

@Rupesh , you need to reinstall the same sdk and select the correct variant during the initial stage of the SDK install.

@Alex-Kushleyev Thank you so much. Now the camera is working. Previously, during the installation, I selected a second option of continuing the installation process with the option to keep the same configuration, which was wrong decision. It did not gave me an option to choose my drone name before. But, now that i selected the first option that give questions along the way, i was able to select the correct options for my drone as shown in picture below.
