@Alex-Kushleyev, building from the dev branch worked great, thanks!
On a separate note, for my application, I will need the coax cables connecting the cameras to be slightly longer. Do you all make longer cables, or are you aware of any other suppliers that make longer versions of these cables?
@Alex-Kushleyev, I just got the color AR0144s and was wondering what changes I need to make to the config file to get the RGB output from the AR0144s. I chose configuration 27, but when I open the stream in the VOXL web portal, I only get monochrome streams from the AR0144.
@Alex-Kushleyev, thanks for the photos! Yes, global shutter and small size are requirements, so I think the color AR0144s are my best option, but I'll wait to order until you confirm 4x concurrency.
Also, if you can help me get started with using the VOXL2 GPU for panoramic stitching, that would be awesome! Thanks for all your help!
@Alex-Kushleyev, great! If there are no conflicts in communication, I'd still like to move forward with buying them as soon as possible, so just let me know what I need to do to purchase them.
If I'm trying to do full 360 panoramic stitching with four of these sensors, will the fisheye lens distortion drastically impact the efficacy of doing a seamless stitch (particularly with the discoloration from lack of an RGB LSC)?
@Alex-Kushleyev, any update on whether I can buy 4 of these RGB AR0144s?
@Alex-Kushleyev, with the smaller number of cameras I can connect to the VOXL2, I’d like to increase the field of view of each AR0144 to maximize coverage. From my research, I understand the AR0144 sensor modules use a 1/4" optical format and are compatible with M12 lenses. Can you confirm if that’s correct?
Also, how well do the AR0144-based camera modules (like the M0166) perform with large field-of-view M12 fisheye lenses (e.g., >190°)? Are there any known issues with image quality, distortion correction, or sensor limitations when using those types of lenses?
@Alex-Kushleyev, let me know how the test goes, that would be super helpful to know. It would also be nice to see the sample images comparing the mono and color AR0144. I really appreciate your help with this!
@Alex-Kushleyev, thank you for your help!
On second thought, 5 cameras should work for my application. I am thinking about using 4 of these RGB M0166 variants, connected to the VOXL2 via the M0173 connector module, and then having a single high-res M0161 camera attached to the VOXL2 through a separate camera group (via the M0155 adaptor). In this case, since I am using a separate camera module for the 5th camera, this should solve the same slave ID conflict without having to make an external change to the camera PCB, correct? Would I still need to modify the camera driver or kernel in a particular way to support this?
I'd like to move forward with buying 4 of these RGB M0166 variants if that's possible. Do these modules have an IR-cut filter?
@Alex-Kushleyev, that would be amazing! Will the VOXL 2 be able to support 6 of these simultaneously, like it can with the M0149? Also, do you know where I can find a CAD model for the M0166? I can't find it on the datasheet you have for it.
@Alex-Kushleyev, thanks for the response! Will the new colored version have the same dimensions as the M0149? Also, would it be feasible to buy a pre-release version of this colored variant of the AR0144? Would love to help with testing if that's possible.
