    • RE: VOXL 2 Kits weight

      Well, no one replied, so I did it myself.

    • RE: M0040 ToF sensor FOV

      Thanks,
      BTW, i've checked it with the help of a team mate and this is the correct FOV orientation for the sensor (not the measurements):
      e05f360a-d319-4564-a99d-b38286d36f7c-image.png

      Keep in mind that the Graphics Industry Standard is W x H and you have H x W = 85ºX106º and should be W x H = 85ºx106º (for this position in the picture)
      Also, W x H = 85ºx106º vs Horizontal x Vertical = 100ºX80º on the different images can cause confusion with the different orientations and values.

      I would suggest to use the same ratings on both pictures.

      This is the correct HxV position of the sensor:

      For our application, we will change the huge 12AWG cables and XT60 connectors for short 18AWG cables and XT30 connectors.

    • M0040 ToF sensor FOV

      Dear ModalAI,

      At https://docs.modalai.com/M0040/ you have:
      FOV (H x W) 85.1° 106.5° (measured by experiemnt)

      At https://www.modalai.com/products/voxl-dk-tof you have:
      FOV (H x V) 117° x 117° (near field 100° x 80°)

      Which is the correct FOV?

      Also, which is the correct position of the sensor (as vertical and horizontal plane)?
      f60159ba-a3ac-437b-8db9-6c0aec20444a-image.png from this link https://docs.modalai.com/M0040/ or
      356449b6-a6f9-4892-b1cf-9b39c8774dfa-image.png from this link? https://www.modalai.com/products/voxl-dk-tof

      I want to create a 3D cone covering the "view" to be sure that it doesn't see anything else, but cannot due to different FOVs and that i don't know what is the horizontal plane of the sensor.
      By now I'll use the more restrictive FOV 117ºX117º...

      Thanks for your work!

    • VOXL ESC to VOXL2 cable problem

      Dear,
      We bought the VOXL2 kit + VOXL ESC V2.
      And in the web from the VOXL ESC says:
      The VOXL ESC is assembled in the USA and works directly with PX4 and VOXL 2.

      This is not true, because the cables included (MCBL-00013 & MCBL-00014) are not compatible with the VOXL2 connector.
      It needs the https://www.modalai.com/products/mcbl-00029 cable.

      Please, modify the webpage info!

      Many thanks!
      Kind regards,
      Eloi Vilalta from Eurecat

    • RE: Missing CADs & dimensions for cables

      So, 80mm or ~85.57mm?C
      Can this be changed via software? Where?
      Thanks!

    • 90 degree & upside down sensor cables/adaptors!

      Dear ModalAI,
      While integrating your VOXL2 kit I found out some features we are missing and we have to do very intricate cable management to deal with it.

      I would find very interesting the option to "turn" the cameras 90 degrees with cables or some adaptors like the VOXL2 to Flex camera adaptor.
      i.e.: The Camera extension flex but with the connector 90 degrees (left or right), not straightforward.
      Also the extension cables could turn upside down the sensors, so when you connect the stereo sensors directly to the VOLX2, one can be looking down instead of both up.
      i.e.: for the extension flex, instead of the male connector on the upper part and the female connector on the lower part, both connectors at the upper part of the cable so the cameras faces opposite direction.

      Also, it can be beneficial to have a more "open" solution for cables, such as FFC/FPC cables for placing the sensors or think about the already solutions they provide but for your system:
      986f9161-cc44-4cfb-9e1f-a6073c13e11b-image.png
      With an adaptor people can route the sensors with more flexibility (not ensuring the proper function of the system of course).

    • RE: Minimum bending radius for plain cables

      Thanks!
      Much appreciated answer!
      As we are based in the EU, the company have some "bureaucratic" difficulties to buy outside EU... If we don't break, way better XD
      By the way, I would love to find some 90 degree angles cables/adaptors! so the cameras can be just on the side of the board and make everything much smaller! (I'll post the same sentence to the "Feature Requests")
      Thanks again!

    • RE: Futaba RC Receiver

      With Futaba/FrSky/FlySky/TBS/Immersion/etc you just have to look if it's inverted S.Bus or not. There is also some mini inverters PCBs, i.e.: (naze32 does not have anything related to this inverter, works with any flight controller/signal)

    • Minimum bending radius for plain cables

      Dear everyone,
      Which is the minimum bending radius aloud to "twist" the cable sensors around?
      Is there any warranty settlements about that?

      Once plugged, both pair of stereo sensors looks "up" and we need one to look "down".
      But as we don't have much space, a small radius is needed, we will 3D print a "router" for the cable so it doesn't bend over this min radius.

      Thanks!
