Starling V2 cameras not being detected
-
Hi I am working on a starling v2 with the C6 camera configuration and the HiRes and TOF sensor are not being detected by the camera server. I have tried upgrading the SDK to the newest version, and tried multiple times to ensure the correct camera configuration is being used. I have also inspected the physical connections and they also seem to be connected in the correct slot, and the ribbon cables do not look damaged.

The correct sensormodules are also present in /usr/lib/camera

@Leo-Allesch , please double check that all your cameras are connected as shown in the diagram on this page : https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-d0005/ (and double check the pin1 locations for each camera)
Can you provide which cameras are detected by camera server (output of
voxl-camera-server -l, just the top part)Also, please list the complete contents of
/usr/lib/camera/Thanks!

The drone is wired up according to the diagram, could you explain what you mean by the pin1 location?
