Question to the ModalAI engineers: I am looking at the VOXL 2 Time of Flight (TOF) Depth Sensor and plan to use it with the RB5 and Starling 2 Max. I saw that additional adapters are required but the [product desription](https://www.modalai.com/products/m0178?variant=48528287793456) is slightly unclear, "Adapter PCB Required" and "Compatible Products -> VOXL2 with (with M0172 or M0173)" are not aligned. Also, when would I need the AXT 36-pin vs. the Molex 40?

Assuming that I am ordering the, MSU-M0178-1-01, which comes with the M0178, would I only need the M0172 (MDK-M0172-1-00) in addition to keep the full camera stack with the additional ToF sensor operatable on both UAV platforms?

I understand that both platforms use the VOXL2, however, I assume the physical mounting and routing distances will vary. Is there any documentation on how to mount and connect the ToF sensor to the RB5 and a Starling 2 Max?

Thanks in advance.

@ChrisB here is a system architecture to follow: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-d0014/

We do not support an RB5, that is a Qualcomm product
