Publication note: Further specifications are withheld until they are supported by the current engineering record.

02Notes

Background

Flight-control PCBs sit at the boundary between mechanical, electrical and software concerns. This project captures the architecture — power tree, sensor interfaces, navigation connectivity and the bring-up order — before native schematic completion, so that subsequent revisions can be reviewed against a documented baseline.

No firmware, manufacturing or flight integration is in scope at this stage.
