As the name implies, the board itself does very little except +breakout a microcontroller board and contain an intertial measurement unit. + +## Active components +The main active components contained on the board are: + - Teensy 3.1 (https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/teensy31.html) microcontroller board, based on the Freescale Kinetis K20 SoC family + - Adafruit 10-DOF inertial measurement unit (http://www.adafruit.com/product/1604) + +## Specification +The provided layout is such that the board can be hand-assembled on a perf-board. Ports include: + - 1 power connector (5V) + - 1 voltage measurement port (12.6V max, i.e. LiPo battery 3S) + - 4 main PWM outputs, used to control motor speed + - 2 auxiliary PWM outputs + - 2 UARTs, for telemetry and GPS (telemetry is also used as radio control) + - 1 ultrasonic distance sensor interface (using echo and trigger pins) + +## Software +Currently work-in-progress, the goal is to provide support for the PX4 autopilot [firmware](https://github.com/jodersky/px4-firmware). + +## License +Design files are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
