Manifold-2

Manifold-2: What are the processors used in the different versions?
There are two models of Manifold 2.
Manifold 2-G uses the NVIDIA Jetson TX2 processor, and Manifold 2-C uses the Intel® Core™ i7-8550U processor.; What can I do with the Manifold 2? Can I use the Manifold 2 in applications beyond drones, such as robot arms, smart manufacturing, and IoT applications?
The Manifold 2 can be used for a variety of different applications thanks to its ability to be deeply and seamlessly integrated with DJI platforms. The two versions enable a wide spectrum of applications, and the various ports allow for customized expansions. By providing users with a tool capable of heterogeneous computing, we are opening up possibilities for more efficient and flexible applications. Below are some examples for use with drones:
• Build fully autonomous drone solutions with onboard computing
• Conduct heavy processing of onboard data (image processing, sensor data fusion)
• Expand computing capacity to your existing drone or robotics solution
• Use it as a lightweight mobile ground station
In addition, DJI is excited to see how creative developers expand the Manifold 2’s applications beyond drones and into robotics applications. It is a compact yet powerful onboard computer that is highly integrated, making it easier for developers to create specialized solutions based on drones and much more.; What is the power consumption of Manifold 2?
Manifold 2-G:3 - 25 W, Manifold 2-C:5 - 60 W.; Which products are the Manifold 2 compatible with?
The Manifold 2 is fully compatible with the M300 RTK and M210 Series and M210 RTK Series drones, as well as the A3 and N3 flight controllers. The OSDK features of the Manifold 2 are fully compatible with the M100 and M600 PRO, although the image stream cannot be accessed.; What is the difference between the original Manifold and the Manifold 2?
The Manifold 2 is an onboard computing platform that has been completely re-designed with more possibilities for applications and greater expandability. The two powerful processors enable faster image and data processing as well as AI applications.; Can the UART port be used to supply power?
No.; What is the default port of UART 0 for Manifold2-G, and what is the baudrate?
The default is the Terminal port, 115200 baudrate.; Which model of the Manifold 2 contains a CAN bus?
The Manifold2-G does.; Can the CAN bus be used to supply power?
No.; How do I minimize heat generation when using a Power Distribution Unit?
Connecting high-power devices to ports 2 to 6 in order of power consumption could help reduce heat generation.; What kind of ports does the USB Hub have?
The Hub has 1 upstream and 4 downstream USB 3.0 ports. An XT30 port is also available for additional downstream power supply.; Can the regulated power supply work independently?
Yes, you can plug in power sources with different voltages to the power ports, and the Manifold 2 will automatically select the one with the higher voltage input so that Manifold 2 could change power sources without powering off. Both ports in use support hot plugging.; What should I do if there is interference in the GPS/2.4G Wi-Fi signal spectrum when using the Manifold 2?
It is recommended that you use DJI’s accessories with the Manifold 2. If signal interference is still present, you can try using a shielded cable for terminal devices and place them as far away as possible from the GPS/Wi-Fi antennas.
