Payload DevKit
Group agrees a DevKit with a breakout board would be really useful
-
Yuneec will make one available
-
Minimal working kit for the connector
-
Hoping to release it in May
@TODO: Yuneec needs a prototype of the dovetail.
Discussion regarding connector which one should be in the vehicle vs camera (female / male)
@TODO: is it too late to swapp Yuneec.
@TODO: Document data sheets of pins, from a protocol use standpoint, max min voltage, gpps as output/input, ppm compatible
@TODO: Who is going to be a provider of DoveTail design Dev Kits?
Smart Battery
Ark Electronics BMS Prototype by Alex K.
@TODO: add state diagram to main doc and link

@TODO: Question; Part numbering? Voltage related standard
Starting with a single mechanical interface
Battery info, Capacity, Number of cells
Uavcan v0 capacity is available
Public data types should be part of the standard
@TODO: Alex, what are all the things we want to get out of the battery for UAVCAN v1.0
