Need Help Connecting To My Platform
-
Hello, I am apart of a research group that is working on VSLAM and image segmentation for various platforms. We recently purchased your Starling 2 Max platform with the intention of using it for these projects. We want to get and save data from its cameras and have it navigate autonomously based on waypoints and/or a calculated path. I was curious if you had any tips or suggestions on how to best connect to and communicate with this platform?

@Colby-Howell For further information, here is the configuration that we ordered.
Configuration SKU: MRB-D0012-4-V2-C29-M11-T9-K2
Configuration Description: “Kit: with Battery Pack and Controller” + “Dual 4k & Dual Tracking & ToF (C29)” + “Microhard pMDDL2450 WiFi and Ghost Atto 2.4 GHz”We do not at the moment have the secondary Microhard modem for the master/slave connection.

@Colby-Howell You can save camera data onboard using voxl-logger, but it will take up a lot of storage very quickly and the voxl2 has < 64gb so be careful with that. If you're not trying to save raw frames and are okay with compression & artifacts you can stream it to a ground computer with voxl-streamer and save it there
For connecting to the drone the easiest (especially cause you don't have a ground radio) is wifi, you can just connect your drone to a somewhat powerful router, set a static IP and ssh in.
For autonomous navigation, the best way in my opinion is to talk to voxl-px4 through the uxrce-dds bridge (implemented on the voxl2 as voxl-microdds-agent) https://docs.px4.io/main/en/middleware/uxrce_dds
