@FIREBIRD Sure, reach out at https://modalai.com/contact

Yes, it's supported in production volumes

@QSL Hi, thank you for reaching out. There are many ways to achieve what you are trying. Starling 2 is the best starting point. You can then learn about what will work and what will not work and build out your system design from there.

@Ege-Yüceel You can find our warranty information at https://www.modalai.com/warranty

You can find the STEP file for the design here: https://docs.modalai.com/starling-2-datasheet/#starling-datasheet

Starling 2 replacement parts can be found here: https://www.modalai.com/products/starling-2-replacement-parts

If there is a part you need, we can make it available for purchase.

@dguido2023 Sorry you are struggling with your Ghost Receiver. Can you please help with an explicit issue or question? We don't have a problem configuring these in the factory, so maybe we can get you setup quickly.

Have you looked through this guide? https://docs.modalai.com/orqa-ghost/

Which SKU of Starling 2 do you have? Was it preconfigured with a Ghost receiver?

What version of SDK are you using?

If you installed the receiver yourself, how is it connected to the VOXL 2?

Are there specific configuration steps you tried that failed?

@Käptnzursee There is no restriction for voxl-mapper running on VOXL 2 Mini. Is there any reason to believe it shouldn't?

@yardy Folks recover using that tool all of the time. When it doesn't work, it's due to hardware damage. Often from ESD, or simply crashing the drone. See https://modalai.com/handling

@wen-max On the datasheet it says take-off weight of 566g https://docs.modalai.com/starling-2-max-datasheet/

Take off weight includes the battery

@Aaron-Porter That's not really the point of voxl-logger. voxl-logger saves the data as close to native as possible so it can be used with voxl-replay for simulation. PNG is often used as it's lossless compression. You could fork the project and add a new format. We're always interested in pull requests for new future additions

@wen-max Yes, the 500g payload capacity is in addition to the battery.

If you double the weight, flight time will be cut in half

The 3000mAh packs use Sony VTC60 LiIon cells and the 4000mAh packs use Amprius Silicon Anode cells

I'm using the Starling 2 Max Outdoor GPS-denied Development Drone and was wondering about the specifications of its battery pack. Specifically, could you provide the mAh rating of the 2S 18650 Li-Ion battery that comes with the drone? Additionally, if possible, could you share details about the specific 18650 cells used in the pack?

@Moderator Have you gone through this document here: https://docs.modalai.com/qgc-wifi/ ?

i have a drone starling Max 2 and im connecting with the QGround Control but it doesnt work, im using ubuntu 20.04 and im following the bootcamp.
the Portal works but not QGround Control, please if you hace some recomendation or help for the conection i'll be wating for your reply. Thank you so much

I recently bought a Starling 2 Max drone. The propellers don't seem like they can be push fit into the motor slot. How do I connect the propellers to the drone? The quick start documentation seem to have a different hardware setup. Appreciate a speedy response!

@ryans911 Hi Ryan, none of our reference UAS currently have thermal integrated though there are a number of ways to connect a Flir Boson if you are building your own UAS

@jameskuesel That sensor is likely running a clock rate that is similar to the GPS frequency. There is copper foil you can use for shielding which could help

The PMD TOF Data is published from voxl-camera-server over MPA. MPA supports many clients per topic.

You can see an example of how to access the data programmatically here: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-vision-hub/-/blob/master/src/voa_manager.c?ref_type=heads#L380

Is the data published topic that another subscriber can read? Or is the data locked and consumed by the obstacle avoidance while flying indoors?

Starling 2 Max is built using VOXL 2, which is an open development platform. You can find details on VOXL 2 I/O here: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-connectors/

@JoeAR_21 voxl-vision-hub handles VOA, not voxl-dfs-server

You can see the tof callback function in voa_manager here: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-vision-hub/-/blob/master/src/voa_manager.c?ref_type=heads#L380
