Meeting Minutes

FMU

@MichaelSchaeuble updated docs for FMUv5X, and, FMUv6X, with new sensors, orientations way more detailed, with updates diagrams

TODO: Board support doc release. @JingerZ
TODO: release FMUv5 as a DS-0XX spec.
TODO: waiting for a pull request on the Pixhawk repo by @MichaelSchaeuble

Payload

Hard mount Design
:sparkles: New payload mount variant

The main use case for a hard-mount mechanism is to enable the use of the PX-PB A1 or B1 connectors inside a fuselage. In contrast to quick-release payloads, this use case is dominantly supporting production-time product skews, maintenance, and common tooling.
