@greg_s Great! Sounds good

@greg_s Was this originally a starling 1 that was upgraded to a starling 2?

If so, you will need to re-calibrate the tracking cameras for this new drone.

See here: https://docs.modalai.com/calibrate-cameras/

@greg_s That looks normal to me. I would start by attempting a manual flight before doing any cv-based flights:

@mamuncanada Looks like a third-party has done it: https://forum.modalai.com/topic/2696/3d-printable-prop-guard

@greg_s Okay you'll need to load a different kernel on your drone in order to support that camera configuration. (27) That is why it is not showing up in the list of supported configs.

You can do the following:

cd voxl2_SDK_1.4.5.tar.gz
cd system-image
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot_a m0054-1-var00.1-kernel.img
fastboot flash boot_b m0054-1-var00.1-kernel.img
fastboot reboot

Once rebooted, you can now run voxl-configure-cameras 27

@greg_s It's a different command, not the calibration command, voxl-configure-cameras

@fhaltmayer It's not something we've explored

@tom Can you also run voxl-configure-cameras and post the output so I can see the available options it gives you?

@greg_s If you can provide the serial number of your drone, I can check our database to see if we have them backed up.
The serial number should be on a white sticker in the form MXX00000XXX

@crowley stinger is our FPV drone solution: https://www.modalai.com/products/stinger-vision-fpv?variant=48373207695664

We offer various levels of kit that can include goggles, transmitter, etc.

@marian Unfortunately VOXL1 has really been phased out but this board has the "fastboot" button on it and should work for you: https://www.modalai.com/collections/expansion-board/products/voxl-microhard-modem-usb-hub

@tom

@will-huang-oksi Take a look here at MCBL-0085: https://docs.modalai.com/cable-datasheets/#mcbl-00085
The add-on board you're using it not capable of providing enough power for the doodle modem and this may be the cause of your issues.

@will-huang-oksi Can you be more clear on which connector you're referring to? https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-connectors/

@wilkinsaf This is the script we use to build SDKs: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/publishing-tools/-/blob/master/qrb5165/make-sdk-release.sh?ref_type=heads

@mamuncanada That wall power is for powering the drone for desktop development, NOT for charging batteries. Do not attempt to do so.

You'll need something like this for battery charging: https://www.getfpv.com/isdt-k2-air-bluetooth-20a-dual-smart-charger-discharger-ac-200w-dc-500w-x2.html?afid=aVlOV0hBdmd6THc9&referring_service=google-cpc&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=DM - NB - PMax - Shop - No-index - SM - ALL | Full Funnel&utm_content=pmax_x&utm_keyword=&utm_matchtype=&campaign_id=20799936859&network=x&device=c&gc_id=20799936859&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20796067361&gbraid=0AAAAAD8cN5L9gJu3gV54RY_LjzcQ-VdGt&gclid=CjwKCAjwxfjGBhAUEiwAKWPwDhmXgNPnOV8SQg3gtjuQcSNseWxDj6bsaCzj63BcRzyTE2uFVeRWORoCsjEQAvD_BwE

@Karthik-Bharadwaj You'll need to insert this into the unused XT30 connector: https://www.modalai.com/products/mcbl-00109?_pos=1&_sid=cc83b4694&_ss=r

3A is more then enough to power the drone on the bench, just make sure never to spin motors on wall power! (You can damage the drone and will not be able to RMA it)

In order to disable arming you'd have to look through the PX4 parameters

@fhaltmayer We're actively working on an SDK release with Ubuntu 20.04 however it is still a couple months out so not something that you'd be able to start working with today

@souksakone These are the propellors you'd want: https://www.modalai.com/products/starling-2-max-replacement-parts?variant=49704978710832

In order to power on the bench using a wall supply you need to connect a jumper to one of the xt30 connectors: https://www.modalai.com/products/mcbl-00109?_pos=1&_sid=0fa202773&_ss=r

and then use an XT60 to XT30 adapter with the wall supply, doesn't look like we have them on our site currently, but this: https://www.getfpv.com/xt60-male-to-xt30-female-adapter.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=DM+-+NB+-+PMax+-+Shop+-+No-index+-+SM+-+ALL+|+Full+Funnel&utm_content=pmax_x&utm_keyword=&utm_matchtype=&campaign_id=20799936859&network=x&device=c&gc_id=20799936859&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20796067361&gbraid=0AAAAAD8cN5IWUFzK4ZEUTrvB0pD84yf5c&gclid=Cj0KCQjwrc7GBhCfARIsAHGcW5VJpAsHzT4FUyDSslwnX9EboqzVgWrir8D4QD1oRryVGAXRtwu_H40aAk76EALw_wcB
