I am trying to implement a program on the Starling 2 Max that is able to use the downwards facing camera to detect objects that I have specified in the code, such as shapes and certain colors, but I am uncertain about how to access the camera within the Python code?

@Alex-Kushleyev
We have not really tried any sort of camera calibration before so there are no preferred methods, but I suppose the easier the better.

We want to calibrate the IMX412 mounted underneath the drone. I believe 4k is not necessary for AprilTag detection, so 1080p is sufficient.

We want to use AprilTags to perform precise landings on our Starling 2, but from what we have read the cameras need to be calibrated to utilize this functionality. When running "voxl-calibrate-camera tracking_front" is says that we need to use the portal, but the portal is extremely unstable and crashes almost immediately. Therefore we are wondering if it is possible to calibrate the cameras without the portal?

@tom It's okay, I managed to figure it out. Just had to change the RC protocol in the px4-conf file.

@tom I am not entirely sure how I check that

@tom The controller uses LoRa/FLRC

Recently upgraded from 1.3.5 to 1.4.1 on our Starling 2 Max drones, but now it seems that they cannot connect with their controllers. Are there any updates or configurations that need to be done with the controllers as well?

@tom That did the trick, thanks for the help!

@Eric-Katzfey How do I do that?
