TODO: if we can’t find pinouts ask @david_s5
TODO: release DS-011 v1.0 release as soon as the above todos are complete and reviewed ( we need schematics )
Schematics Discussion
In our last meeting, we had an open TODO to ask manufacturers/implementors of the spec
TODO: Ask manufacturers, what would you think if we published the whole schematics?
Context: In order to accomplish the best compatibility we can offer with FMU/PX4, we are discussing the addition of schematics to the spec, we had previously stopped publishing schematics to avoid diluting the value of the standard by allowing anyone to create similar boards without proper quality control (clones)
Feedback from manufacturers
- Holybro: No big deal if we keep them open, with a preference to have schematics controlled by this group. pay px4 for a review/certification for software compliance?
- ModalAI: As long as schematics are available to the engaged members/manufacturers there should be no problem.
- We are reaching out to all involved manufacturers.
