@Eric-Katzfey what do you suggest for supporting 2 video streams of around 30fps 720p (Im assuming high bandwidth)? Could I just use the USB port available on the voxl2?

I would also like to know how I can best connect a raspberry pi to the drone. What communication protocol I could use, and also if I should power the raspberry pi off of the drone somehow or if I should have another battery connected to the raspberry pi.

Hello,

I have the starling max 2 drone.

I would like to get full 360 vision coverage from the perspective of the drone (I can see in any direction).

I am lost and confused on the camera documentation:

1. how I can add cameras to the drone/voxl2 (electronic connection configuration is the confusing part. I am not concerned with the mechanical engineering here at all)
2. What cameras are supported? can I use raspi cameras or generic ones as well?
3. Would it be possible to add enough cameras to the voxl2 to get omni-directional vision? What connection ports and cameras can I use?
4. Why are there support for different camera types on different ports?
5. For a stereo camera set up, could I point the two cameras in non-overlapping FOVs to get more coverage?
6. If I add lots of cameras this way, would I be able to process these feeds freely and run my own algorithms to process them? What frame rates could I expect?

The big question I am having here is how could I get omni-directional vision coverage with the voxl2 from the perspective of electrical engineering?
