Flight controller
Version 1.2 schematic and PCB-layout. Sonar height is connected to RX4 same pin as A12 (marked as A12 on board) and 5V. Angle IMU for motor angles are GY91 boards connected to I2C-2, using pin 3 (SCL) and 4 (SDA) marked on board as ESC 1 (SCL) and ESC2 (SDA), both on 3.3V from pins marked A13 and 3.3V. Current measurements are not used (one is shorted). ESC 1 and 2 are moved to ESC 7 and 8.

Servo power board
Interface and power board for servos. PWM 1..4 is powered from one 5V buck converter (PWM1 is used for the right servo). The other 5V buck converter is available on the 2x3 pins bottom right on PCM figure marked 5V1 and 5V2 (used for right servo). The patch is
Power distribute
Power distribution from 2 batteries in parallel using XT60, all output sockets are XT30.
