Starling 2 Max C28 vs C29

jbiscan21

Hello,

For the starling 2 max C28 config, is it possible I could add the tof sensor that you sell to it without sending it back in?

How is this typically mounted? The flex cable on the tof sensor seems pretty short. Is there an extension cable?

Thank you,
John

@jbiscan21 , yes you can add the TOF sensor to Starling 2 Max, but you will also need a new front plastic mount that will hold the hires and tracking cameras as well as the new TOF sensor.

You can order the mount (which will be a drop in replacement for the original camera mount) with the TOF sensor. If you do want to proceed with the TOF sensor + plastics order, we will need to double check that all the necessary screws are included. You would need to send an email for a custom order to start this off and mention this thread and that we need to include mounting hardware. https://www.modalai.com/pages/contact-us

HI,
We purchased M0177 seperatly.

apart of mounting it what are the steps to configure it to be part of the system. what changes need to be made in configuration file to enable the driver and get the data from your mpa service ?

Thank,

@RoyAzriel ,

you can back up your voxl-camera-server.conf and then run voxl-configure-cameras 29 and the following will happen:

all the existing sensormodule files will be wiped from /usr/lib/camera to avoid confusion
only those sensormodules that belong in C29 config will be copied from /usr/share/modalai/chi-cdk to /usr/lib/camera
the camera server config file (/etc/modalai/voxl-camera-server.conf) will be overwritten with the defaults for C29 configuration -- you can then see the config entry for TOF sensor and copy/paste that into your old config file, if you wish or use the new config file as is.
