Thanks @modaltb . Do you know if the MCBL-00022 cable is still planned to be released this week?

@modaltb Did you ever have any luck resolving the USB-C host issue for the VOXL2? Has an update been released that includes this fix?

[modaltb]

Hi @wijone we have not unfortunately. It's still an open item to resolve, but as there's a work around using above, we've not put a resource on this particular issue at this time.

Hi,

I'm interested in connecting the lightwarelidar sensor(SF45/B) to VOXL2 using USB C too.
I tried two settings to connect to the VOXL2 of the Sentinel drone.

• LiDAR - (Micro-USB 3.0) - USB hub(USB C) - VOXL2
• LiDAR - (Micro-USB 3.0) - USB hub(USB C)
  • USB hub(USB C) - VOXL2 (for power)
  • USB hub(USB C) - USB A - 4pin JST connector - Microhard Modem

After connecting, I did the lsusb command, but couldn't see the device.
If connecting to a microhard modem using a 4-pin connector is the right way to use a LiDAR sensor, I wonder what port names are available in the /dev directory.
If not, is there a recommended configuration for the LiDAR connection to VOXL2?

Thank you

I was looking this up the other day and stumbled across this forum thread. I have a high frame rate (90fps+) camera from Allied Vision that works across the USB 3.0 bus, but using the USB-C port would be much easier for integration. Just checking in to see if there had been any progress on using this port for high data rate cameras, etc. Thanks!

HI @jdott ,

At this time, no we don't have a SW solution to get the USBC port as a host.... so the USB3 approach warrants an add-on board like this on

@modaltb

Hi there, just checking in if there have been any updates to this and whether the USBC port can be used for connecting peripherals. We have multiple USB devices and this would greatly simplify our integration.

Thanks

@msberk It cannot. This is a hardware limitation in VOXL 2 and will not be fixed without a hardware revision.

@Moderator Thanks for the clarification, we will not expect a solution to this then.
