When operating the Starling 2 MAX , I am curious if there is a known guide on replacing the VOXL2 that comes with the Starling 2 MAX with a VOXL2 fresh from Modal AI. 

What software / hardware mods need to be made in order to successfully fly the system once a new VOXL2 system has been installed ?

@AndrewC , sorry for the delay.

There are no hardware modifications to VOXL2 before installing it into Starling 2 Max. You would just need to configure SKU on your new VOXL2 board (https://docs.modalai.com/sku/) and just just reflash the latest SDK to start off clean. During the SDK install, there are a few steps (voxl-configure-mpa) that will load all the needed configurations for your SKU.

Please let us know if you have any issues with that.
