We have been informed the Orqa handheld controller is not acceptable as an "NDAA-compliant" controller due to components inside of the remote. What options are there for modifying the Starling 2 Max drone to take in an SBus input from some other handheld controller? We are comfortable disassembling the Starling 2 Max, replacing boards, soldering, etc.

Starling 2 Max Front Camera Mount
We would like to modify the front camera mount on the Starling 2 Max to tilt the camera down. Can you share the 3D model used for making the front (horizontal view) camera mount?

RE: voxl-camera-server not finding IMX678
Turns out I was missing:
/usr/lib/camera/com.qti.tuned.default.bin
It appears to be working now.

voxl-camera-server not finding IMX678
I have a new VOXL2 with voxl-suite 1.1.3-1:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- system-image: 1.7.4-M0054-14.1a-perf kernel: #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Feb 9 22:38:25 UTC 2024 4.19.125 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- hw platform: M0054 mach.var: 1.2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- voxl-suite: 1.1.3-1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- no current network connection --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have an MDK-M0061-2-06 IMX678 hires camera connected via M0084 Dual Camera Adapter JU to VOXL2 Camera Group 1 J7.
When I first have voxl-camera-server list connected cameras it of course doesn't find the camera until I copy over the .bin for that camera. Once I copy the .bin to
/usr/lib/camera
then it seems to find the camera, but yet it also thinks it doesn't find it.Excerpt:
DEBUG: Cam idx: 0, Cam slot: 3, Slave Address: 0x0034, Sensor Id: 0xA602 DEBUG: Number of cameras: 0
I have also used the configuration file helper script:
camera-server-config-helper hires:imx678:0
Rebooting doesn't help.
What step am I missing to get the IMX678 to be used by voxl-camera-server?
Reference:
Showing no camera, then copying the .bin file, then pseudo-finding the camera:

NDAA Camera Options
Are the 10x10 Hires cameras NDAA compliant?
https://www.modalai.com/products/msu-00024-1?variant=44804551016752The only camera I found available from ModalAI that references NDAA compliance is the Starvis IMX678 w/ M12-style Lens, which has been out of stock for some time.
https://www.modalai.com/products/mdk-m0061-2?_pos=4&_sid=217fbb18c&_ss=rThe NDAA compliance page only mentions the Hadron 320 and the DragonEye and no ModalAI cameras. Do you sell cables that can connect the VOXL2 to either the Hadron 320 or the DragonEye?

M0090 M.2 Pinout
The documentation for the 5G Modem Carrier Board lists the pinout for numerous connections, but does not include the pinout for the M.2 connector. There is a table for on https://docs.modalai.com/5G-Modem-datasheet/ for the M.2 pinout, but it is not populated. Can you send the M.2 pinout for this board?
