    • RE: PWM for gimbal using FPV ESC

      And is it possible to connect the i/o expander board (M0065) to the VOXL 2 WiFi Add-on board (MDK-M0141-1-01) to achieve a pwm output ?

    • PWM for gimbal using FPV ESC

      Dear ModalAI Team,

      We are currently trying to control a Caddx GM1 gimbal via PWM using our RC transmitter (TBS Tango 2 with Crossfire). As our flight controller, we are using the VOXL2 running PX4.
      We read that it might be possible to generate a PWM signal using the 4-in-1 FPV ESC, which can be controlled via an RC input—could you confirm if this is correct? If not, what alternative options are available for generating a PWM signal?
      We are planning to use the ModalAI ESC via UART, as well as the Crossfire Nano RX and a UART-to-USB adapter, which leaves us with no available interface for connecting the VOXL I/O board—would that be accurate?
      We are aware that this topic has been discussed in various forum threads, but unfortunately we haven't been able to find a clear solution that fits our setup.
      Thank you very much in advance for your help!

    • VIO in dark environments

      Dear ModalAI-Team,

      we are currently working on a drone project focused on inspecting dark or poorly lit environments. Therefore, we would like to know whether it is possible to achieve VIO (Visual-Inertial Odometry) with onboard lighting mounted on the drone. As far as we understand, VIO relies solely on the forward-facing tracking camera, is that correct? Or do downward-facing cameras (like on the Starling platform) also play a role in VIO? If only the front-facing camera is used for VIO, then a forward-facing light source should theoretically be sufficient, allowing us to avoid the complexity of downward illumination.
      Additionally, we would like to know if a Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor can be used to support VIO, which would obviously be beneficial in dark environments.

      Thank you very much in advance!
