@Alex-Kushleyev Hii, Kindly look at the hardware configuration .
I am only able to detect 2 cameras out of 4 cameras .
Hires and one out of 2 tracking are not detected.

@James-Strawson Hii , I am also getting the same issue . Kindly look at the following details . I have defined tof in my extrinsics.conf file as given below:
parent: body
child: tof
T_child_wrt_parent: 0.070 0.024 -0.029
RPY_parent_to_child: 0.0 90.0 90.0
R_child_to_parent: 0.000 -0.000 1.000
1.000 0.000 -0.000
-0.000 1.000 0.000
when i run voxl-vision-hub -s i got the following
slice 0 dist none back
slice 1 dist none
slice 2 dist none
slice 3 dist none
slice 4 dist none
slice 5 dist none
slice 6 dist none

@Sarika-Sharma and I also wanna tell you my goal i.e. stable indoor flight without GPS

Hello @Alex-Kushleyev
Thank you for getting back to me.

Yes, I already have the above cameras.I am attaching image of the PMD TOF image sensor along with the adapters that were included, so you can confirm exactly which configuration I have.

I would also be very open to your suggestions regarding updates or improvements to the camera selection. Please feel free to recommend better options based on your experience.

Looking forward to your guidance.

Hello Team, I’m working with a VOXL2 Mini and would like guidance on the correct hardware configuration (cables and ports) for the following camera setup:

Cameras

1. 2× M0014 (OV7251 tracking cameras)

2. 1× M0169 (PMD ToF camera)

3. 1× M0024 (IMX214 high-resolution camera)

Available accessories

1. M0084 flex cables

2. M0135 interface board

Could you please confirm the correct physical connection / port mapping for this setup on VOXL2 Mini?

@Sarika-Sharma Now TOF is detected. I have choosed pmd-tof instead of pmd-tof-liow2.
But please give solution for the following problem.
When I used J7 according to the following configuration
Hardware Setup
M0104 Connector Interposer Sensor HW ID
J7 M0135 JL Tracking (M0014 ) 2
J7 M0135 JU Hires (M0025-2 ) 3
OR
J7 M0135 JL Hires (M0025-2 ) 2
J7 M0135 JU Tracking (M0014 ) 3

ONLY , The camera which is connected to JL is working either tracking or hires.
Cameras connected to JU is not working.
When i run voxl-camera-server it gives this
WARNING: cam tracking (id 1) does not seem to be alive

------ voxl-camera-server: Started 1 of 2 cameras

------ voxl-camera-server: Camera server is now running
OR
When i run voxl-camera-server it gives this
WARNING: cam hires (id 1) does not seem to be alive

------ voxl-camera-server: Started 1 of 2 cameras

------ voxl-camera-server: Camera server is now running/home/idr/Downloads/WhatsApp Image 2025-12-26 at 5.31.01 PM.jpeg

@Alex-Kushleyev @Luca-Zanatta I am also facing the same issue, can you please tell how to solve resolution problem.
I have tried to manually add preview width and preview height in vim /etc/modalai/voxl-camera-server.conf But when i run voxl-camera-server it still gives previous resolution 240*1557 and hence pmd-tof is not detected.

@Sarika-Sharma Kindly resolve this issue also https://forum.modalai.com/topic/4952/pmd-tof-not-detected-on-voxl2?_=1766730439331.

@Eric-Katzfey Thank you.

Hello ModalAI Team,

I am working with VOXL2 / VOXL2 Mini and PMD ToF V2 (M0169), and I am facing an issue where the PMD ToF camera is not detected/started by voxl-camera-server.

System details

Platform: VOXL2

System Image: 1.7.4

PMD Module: M0169 (PMD ToF)

Use case: Tracking + ToF + HiRes

Hardware connection (Option 1)
VOXL2 → M0076 → M0074 extender → M0169 (external regulated 5V supplied) → ToF

External 5V is provided to M0169.

Camera configuration

Cameras enabled: PMD ToF + IMX214 (HiRes) + OV7251 (Tracking)

IMX214 and OV7251 start correctly, but not pmd-tof

kindly look at the screenshots.

@Eric-Katzfey If you would be so kind as to tell how can i specify a different port to connect to at the GCS for each drone?

@Eric-Katzfey yes, I am using wifi and station mode.And I am able to connect multiple drones having different IP Address on the default 14550 UDP port .But I wanna ask can I specify different ports for each drone having different IP address???
For ex:
Drone 1 : IP->192.168.1.15 On port no 14551
Drone 2: IP-> 192.168.1.16 On port no 14552

I am trying to connect multiple VOXL2 Mini drones to QGroundControl (QGC) by assigning different UDP ports per drone, but I am unable to connect on any port other than the default 14550.

My Setup

Hardware: VOXL2 Mini
GCS: QGroundControl
QGC running on host PC

Goal

Drone 1

IP: 192.168.1.16

UDP Port: 14551

Drone 2

IP: 192.168.1.15

UDP Port: 14552

QGC successfully connects when using UDP port 14550 but not with 14551/14552

kindly look at the attached screenshots:

@tom I'm using a LiPo 3S battery with a voltage of 12V.

@tom Yes, I’ve already tried using a USB-A to USB-C cable and also I used the same cable to connect VOXL2 previously, and it works perfectly — I'm able to access the ADB shell without any issues, so the cable and USB port are both functional. However, when I try to connect the VOXL2 Mini using the same cable, I’m unable to see any device listed with adb devices on Ubuntu natively(I have a dual-boot setup).I’ve also checked lsusb on Ubuntu in both normal power-on and while attempting EDL mode, but no Qualcomm device shows up.
When I switch to Windows, the VOXL2 Mini appears in Device Manager as "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)" with a yellow warning icon (screenshot attached).

@tom

@tom I am running Ubuntu natively (not inside a VM). USB passthrough is not applicable in my case.

Hi ModalAI Team,

I'm working on a VOXL2 Mini (M0104) and facing persistent USB connection issues.

️ Environment:

Host OS: Ubuntu 22.04 (also tested on Windows 10)

Cable: Known-good USB-C data cable

Power: Board powered via ESC; LED turns on

Issue:

Ubuntu: lsusb shows nothing in any mode (ADB, Fastboot, or EDL)

Windows: Device Manager shows Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed) with a yellow triangle

I also tried to run flash-system-image.sh (see the attached screenshots)fails with “device not found” in fastboot mode

Tried:

Different cables and USB ports (USB 2.0 & 3.0)

Different PCs (Windows and Linux)

Turned on EDL switch

Force Fastboot

Request:

Looking for guidance.
