Hello,

I want to setup HTTP request & response server on Sentinel. Ideally, as Sentinel fly the route, I want sensors along the path to send data as HTTP post request.
Down the load, I want to process the data on board.

Is there any documentation that can help me get started?

Thank you,

We plan to deploy ground sensors that will communicate with the Sentinel UAV (drone). Both the sensor module and our command server will function as HTTP clients. The goal is for the sensor module to automatically connect to the UAV’s Wi-Fi access point as soon as it comes within range. Can you confirm if the Wi-Fi system on the Sentinel drone supports this configuration and allows such connections?

Thanks, Tom! We appreciate the support and the reassurance about VOXL 2's processing power. It's great to know there's room to explore its capabilities further. We'll definitely reach out if we have more questions—thanks again for being a resource we can count on!

@tom
Thank you for your insightful questions and for highlighting the VOXL 2's capabilities.
By "additional processor," we were initially considering adding a secondary processor to handle specific tasks that we assumed might exceed VOXL 2's processing capabilities. However, your comment made us take a closer look, and we now realize that VOXL 2 might indeed handle the additional processing we had in mind.

We'll explore leveraging the Qualcomm QRB5165 on VOXL 2 to handle these tasks instead of introducing extra hardware. This approach could simplify our design and optimize data flow.
Appreciate your input—it’s given us a valuable direction to explore!

@tom
Thank you for your response.
We are currently using SKU: MDK-M0090-3-02-01, which is the M0090 board equipped with the Sierra Wireless modem. Considering this setup, I’d like to clarify a few points:
Can we use the existing communication unit and battery for the additional processor we plan to integrate for addition computing tasks?
Alternatively, instead of adding another CPU/processor, would it be feasible to leverage the Qualcomm QRB5165 already present in the Sentinel system to handle the additional tasks?
Pl. comment.

We are considering adding a second processor, a 5G communication unit, and a battery to the Sentinel system to enable it to perform additional tasks and communicate data back to the server. Could you please provide your recommendations regarding:

1. The compatibility of these components with the existing Sentinel architecture.
2. The most efficient way to integrate the second processor to ensure optimal performance.
3. Suitable 5G communication units for seamless connectivity.
4. Battery options that would provide sufficient power without significantly increasing weight or size.
5. Any potential challenges we might encounter during integration and how to address them.

1, FPV Video Feed: Is it possible to stream the first-person-view (FPV) video feed to the Ground Control Station (GSC) using the 5G connection?
2, Ground WiFi Sensor Communication: Can this version of the Sentinel communicate with ground WiFi sensors and transmit sensor data to the ground server using either WiFi or 5G connectivity? Please confirm.
