Is there a way to access the kernel serial debug port on M0090? It seems there are FTDI components but they are not populated.

RE: VIO and GPS in position mode
@tahawaru Here is some documentation on configuring VIO https://docs.modalai.com/flying-with-vio/
PX4 does not currently handle GPS and VIO concurrently. It is something that we have worked with the PX4 developers on for more than 2 years.
It's a complicated problem though that we keep working to improve. To start experimenting, and hopefully helping to develop that feature, read through PX4's documentation on EKF2.
To debug VIO, look to this area of the documentation specifically https://docs.modalai.com/flying-with-vio/#troubleshooting-vio

RE: VOA not working with ToF
@Jetson-Nano Looks like MPC_POS_MODE is needed as well per the documentation https://docs.px4.io/main/en/computer_vision/collision_prevention.html

RE: Voxl-mapper on VOXL2
voxl-mapper has been working on VOXL 2 for about a year. It should work out of the box on a Starling.
What you may be referring to is better documentation for using with stereo sensors instead of TOF sensors, but in general the voxl-mapper package is working.
This video shows how it works - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqlSKRP8prc&ab_channel=ModalAI

Please Read: Support Request Format for Best Results
When making a request for support, there are some key pieces of information that really help speed up the support process. Please try to include the following when making a request:
- What hardware are you using? If you have specific SKU or serial number, that is also helpful
- What version of software are you using? voxl-version is very helpful for determining software version.
- How have you configured the software? What is the output of voxl-inspect-services
- Do you have any logs? Uploading PX4 logs to https://logs.px4.io can be very helpful. See details on PX4 logs here
- Can you share pictures of your setup?
- Have you looked at the source code? If so, can you point to any potential issues?

RE: OV9782 tracking configuration
If you see the sensor in the portal, you have the sensor configured properly.
By fails to calibrate, are you using voxl-camera-calibration ?

RE: Are there any URDF for the dev drones>?
if you viewed the data through voxl-portal, it would already be rotated properly.
The Starling's extrinsic parameters can be found here, which should help you configure your URDF

RE: Voxl-mapper realtime cpu usage
@Amir-Avni On VOXL 2, voxl-mapper runs < 10% of CPU in typical configurations, on VOXL 1 < 30% of CPU

RE: HiRes M0107 IMX412 compatiblity with Voxl2 mini board
@Sanket-Shah voxl-inspect-cam can be used to verify it's working and see related stats. You need a GUI of some kind to actually view the image, which requires a network

RE: Reference frames extrinsics clarification
@tiralonghipol if you viewed the data through voxl-portal, it would already be rotated properly. It's not clear which viewer you are using for the data.
The Starling's extrinsic parameters can be found here, which should help you configure your tools

RE: Thermal Camera to VOXL2
@H-AL first you need to determine if the sensor's electrical interface is compatible. What interface exists on the sensor? Can you find an appropriate electrical connection on VOXL 2?
Then, you need to find if there is software compatibility, does the driver current exist in ModalAI's reference code? Or, is there an implementation you can leverage for your work?

RE: Pairing VOXL CAM with an external Pixhawk 6X
@Irfan-Usman Sure, see these documents
VOXL 1 & VOXL CAM: https://docs.modalai.com/how-to-connect-voxl-to-pixhawk/
VOXL 2 (recommended): https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-external-flight-controller/ -

RE: Purchase Power Module Identical to Starling 1
@Mihir-Bala The APM PCB is identical, you are likely referring to the PCBs
If you want the lights solution possible, you should use the Mini 4-in-1 ESC which has a 5V regulator built in to power VOXL 2

RE: voxl-cross docker image without network
@Nicholas-Clark you can find the voxl-cross Dockerfile and source here. We're happy to incorporate merge requests if you feel you have a solution that can be generalized across our customers.

RE: VOXL 2 Starling
@Zarrar The Starling 2 meets all of those specifications. The obstacle avoidance and gps-denied navigation are tuned to indoor environments

RE: VOXL2 takeoff and land script
@Gary-Holmgren Check out the AprilTag Relocalization page
Basically, every time an AprilTag is viewed, the position is updated to reflect that tag as an anchor. So, it's not precision landing as much as position refinement. You then land at the desired position which should be more accurate due to the position refinement with the fiducial marker
We haven't looked at the MAVSDK in a while, is there a specific error you're running into?

RE: IMX214 min exposure time
@stephengerdts you could use libmodal-exposure and then you would have control over the exposure settings
set the ae_mode to lme_msv https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-camera-server/#camera-server-config-file
then you can use the lme settings to see what you can achieve https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-camera-server/#libmodal-exposure-settings
