@Alex-Kushleyev Thank you very much! I think we can take it from here

@Alex-Kushleyev Fantastic! Looking forward to it.

We have been following the development on https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-camera-server/-/tree/eis?ref_type=heads. @Alex-Kushleyev , do you have an ETA of when this will be released as part of an SDK update? Thanks!

@Alex-Kushleyev , this is fantastic. Thanks so much!

@Alex-Kushleyev , thanks for the thorough explanation. If you could do a quick and dirty check, that would be much appreciated!

Is there any documentation on how to calibrate the fisheye camera when used for stereo? Any example of performance (depth vs. baseline, minimum distance, etc.) would be much appreciated too

@Moderator, any update on this?

Hi DevTeam, quick question. Do you have experience working with the Doodle Nimble radio (https://doodlelabs.com/products/nimble-radio/)? Is this a product that you support? I believe it only has a PCIe interface and that is not supported on the VOXL2 Mini. The same interface seems to be deprecated on the VOXL2. Is there a plan to re-enable it at some point?

Thanks!

Hi, we are trying to spin a flex cable for a tight integration in a module and could use some help. Would the ModalAi team be able to have a quick look at our schematic?

Thanks!

@Alex-Kushleyev, no need for super low-latency FPV, just using a higher megapixel sensor to stabilize down to what we can consistently stream down the radio link. Some form of digital gimbal would be great too, where we can steer the field of view to a specific region

@Alex-Kushleyev , we would love to use this feature too. Please keep us posted, and feel free to reach out if you need beta testers!

@Moderator thanks for the information.

Could one of the two M0072 be used on the VIO pipeline at the same time? I am thinking it would be great to have VIO and DFS from just two cameras.

I came across this SKU earlier today: https://www.modalai.com/products/m0072?variant=40414007132211

I have two questions. First, can this sensor substitute the standard tracking camera? It looks like the specs are the same. And the shorter flex cable would be very helpful in one of our integrations. Secondly, can you share any details on how to use it for stereo depth? How does it perform compared with the standard camera? How hard is it to calibrate?

Thanks!

@Nathan-Raras . Understood. Thanks. At this point we are ideating/prototyping, so please don't waste much time on it. Knowing that it is possible will help us lock in the camera configuration we will use in the final design. Cheers!

Understood. Thanks. Is there a path to add support to the ov9782 and the imx214 simultaneously on J6? Just curious. We are trying to integrate on a very tight space, and connecting to a single camera port simplifies the mechanical assembly.

Hi,

I am trying to get a config running with the ov9782 (M0113 + m0008) and a imx214 (M0025-2) camera connected to a dual sensor flex (M0084) on J6 of a VOXL2 mini. It seems like the ov9782 folder /usr/share/modala/chi-cdk does not have a driver for that camera on sensor HW ID 1. Is it possible to get this driver compiled and added to the sdk? Thanks!

@Alex-Kushleyev , it worked. Thanks!

Awesome! Will give it a try. Thanks @Alex-Kushleyev !

Hi, I am working on the integration of a camera on the VOXL2. The camera acts as a USB CDC device and outputs an 8-bit greyscale image on ttyACM0. The manufacturer provides a python example to talk to the camera. I was able to deploy it on the voxl2 and read the images. Now I would like to push those to a pipeline for consumption by voxl-streamer and other processes. Do you have any sample code or guidance on how to do this on python? I would like to have a functional prototype of the whole thing before porting it to C++.

Thanks!

@Alex-Kushleyev , I think that is plenty for now. We will order a couple and test them. Thanks a lot!
