Hi,
We are planning to buy few units of starling-2 max.
We were contemplating with the starling2 indoor slam but we chose the starling 2-max because of its capability to add some payload.
We intend to connect lidar with uart communication as a payload.
I would like to know what cables I need to order.
I guess the starling-2 max has the voxl2 board. 
When I follow the documentation it's hard to say what board is assembled on the devkit and what connetor/cables I need to add to the order.
please help.

BR,

Roy

@Roy-Azriel , the description of Starling 2 Max states that it uses VOXL2, as well as lists other major components and options for camera configurations : https://www.modalai.com/products/starling-2-max?variant=48216084087088

Please let us know what Lidar you are considering adding.
