    • Starling 2: Data Storage & Access

      Hi,

      Where is the sensor data stored on the Starling 2 UAV? I wanted to access the TOF point clouds, camera and other sensor data and pass it to another system real-time. What would be the best way to achieve this?

      I saw an option to 'Save Map' on the VOXL web portal, but I'm not sure where it gets saved.

      Thanks!

    • RE: Teledyne FLIR Lepton 3.5 Integration

      @Alex-Kushleyev It looks like our Starling 2 UAV has the M0157 adapter, the M0173 board (Yellow PCB that also connects to the 3 AR0144 sensors and the TOF sensor), and the 7pin cable that connects the M0157 adapter to the M0173 board. Just to clarify, this configuration is sufficient to integrate (plug-and-play) the Teledyne FLIR Lepton 3.5 without modifying the drivers? If not, do you have any recommended thermal sensors that can directly fit into this hardware and software architecture? I'd be happy to buy them.

    • ROS Melodic Sourcing

      Hi,

      1. We have a Starling 2 (VOXL 2 autopilot running PX4) and wanted to run SLAM. We have some files of ROS Melodic installed (including voxl_mpa_to_ros_node), but we're unable to source ROS Melodic (it appears that there is no such file or directory when we tried "source /opt/ros/melodic/setup.bash". What could be the issue here and what would the next steps would be?

      2. We also wanted to understand if we can uninstall ROS Melodic and install ROS2 Humble (or other distributions) on the same VOXL2 autopilot as ROS2 works better with our pipeline.

      Thanks!

    • Teledyne FLIR Lepton 3.5 Integration

      Hi,

      I was looking to integrate the Teledyne FLIR Lepton 3.5 onto the Starling 2 UAV (running PX4) using SPI/I2C. Could you advise on the steps involved? Would this need any driver level modifications or is sufficient to configure certain pre-defined parameters?

      Thanks!

    • RE: LiDAR LightWare SF20/C integration on I2C3

      @Alex-Kushleyev Yes I wanted to power a 5V LiDAR. I could try to splice the 5V (pins 1,6) from J19 and use that to power the external sensor, if that's what you recommend. Are these pins limited to 5W (5V, 1 A)? If not, how much power can I safely draw out of that port?

    • RE: LiDAR LightWare SF20/C integration on I2C3

      @Eric-Katzfey Got it, thanks.

      Can you tell me how to reconfigure the ESC output voltage to 5V DC? It's presently at 3.3 V DC

    • LiDAR LightWare SF20/C integration on I2C3

      Hi,

      I am trying to integrate the LightWare SF20/C LiDAR on I2C3 port (J19) on Starling 2 UAV (VOXL 2 autopilot running Px4 on QGroundControl). I wanted to understand the following:

      1. How can I reconfigure the ESC AUX regulator to 5 V (presently at 3.3 V)?
      2. What are the steps to setup the LiDAR on Px4?

      Thanks!
