    Hi @alex-kushleyev @vinny @eric-katzfey
    Hardware: (voxl 2 , microhard board, with lepton connected through usb port on the carrier board)

    Software version: (voxl sdk 1.5.0)

    What I am trying to do: to stream video through usb connection, using the UVC stream service on voxl 2 . The lepton stream through SPI was low quality compared to the usb connection.

    What actually happens: The stream was successful , with good quality video stream, which I was able to see in the QGC. The problem i was facing was the irregular stopping of the streaming. I had to restart the service multiple times to see the video.

    If there is something I am missing to get a regular continuous live streaming through microhard board , please do share. I want to experiment with different cameras before finalising the components, the USB connection helps me to do that.
    Please help to stream live video from the lepton camera through the microhard board.

    Steps to reproduce: I followed normal Microhard connection steps , along with setting up the UVC stream service for the Lepton camera, I used the groups gets usb board. The camera was detected and the stream started, after a continuous stream of 25 to 30 seconds the streaming stops, and behavior was observed mulitple times.

      Have you attempted any trouble shooting? What if you stream a connected camera with voxl-streamer, does it still do the same thing? Did you try streaming over WiFi or Ethernet? Does the voxl-uvc-server generate any error or diagnostic messages? Can you try a different USB camera (non-Lepton)? I'd recommend trying with a Logitech C270.
