SDK Support for EOL Drones (Sentinels)
-
Will SDK release testing end (or has it already) for EOL dev drones like the Sentinel?
I noticed on the release page that SDK v1.5.0 was the last release that was tested on the Sentinel platform. Does this mean future releases (1.6+) will no longer be tested for the Sentinels?
If so, are the platforms currently in production similar enough (given they all use VOXL2 but with different sensors/hardware) to the Sentinel platform such that I can continue updating with future SDK releases or should I stop at v1.5.0?

@jmltt SDK testing for Sentinel ended at SDK 1.4.0
That doesn't mean that newer releases won't work, it just means we don't put it through the SW QA testing cycles that we do with our newer platforms.
You likely won't see any major performance improvements on Sentinel with newer SDK releases but there may be some nice quality of life additions such as helper scripts, voxl-portal updates and others.
If you have any questions about any specific packages feel free to ask.
