@Eric-Katzfey , @MikeD and I were able to resolve the issue by swapping pins 2 and 3 on the MCBL-00091.

We found the following post on the forum: https://forum.modalai.com/topic/3511/serial-port-closed-and-other-hitl-errors. One of the posts notes that in order to use the MCBL-00091, pins 2 and 3 need to be swapped. This appears to be documented here: https://docs.modalai.com/cable-userguides/#m0163-4-pin-jst-to-4-pin-jst-cross-over-example.

Thanks for your help!

@Alex-Kushleyev , thanks! We'll give it a try and let you know how it goes.

Is it possible to procure and plug in a FLIR Lepton 3.5 sensor into the Starling 2 Max as sold? I was told that there were potential SW issues, but it should work. One of the pictures on the Starling 2 Max product page suggests that this would only be supported on the C29 SKU/config; however, I only have C28 configs. Can you confirm that this will or will not work on the Starling 2 Max C28 config? Also, is this the correct sensor model: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/flir-lepton/500-0771-01/7606616?s=N4IgTCBcDaIKwAYEFoEHY0EZWZAXQF8g

Thanks!

On the Starling 2 Max product page, it notes the following: "there are performance issues with GPS on the current iteration of this design, an updated GPS is in development."

Do you know when this issue will be resolved? Will it be possible to retrofit any drones purchased in the mean-time?
