      Hello everyone:

      I am planning on adding a gimbal for my drone for that I would need either another serial port or PWM capabilities. I found this I/O board for the VOXL 2. I wanted to know if this could be used to control a gimbals using PX4 using the PWM outputs. I read the docs and it seems to plug into the J19 connector where the GPS and spektrum receiver plug in on the flight deck. Could I modifiy the connector to use this board alongside the GPS as I can connect the receiver to the expansion board?

      Thanks in advanced 🙂

        Hi @Jose-Alfredo-Rosas-Cordova
        Yes, absolutely.
        That is one of the use-cases to have this along with GPS/Mag/RC.

        These cables are all related to those functions and can help you make whatever custom adapter you may need:

        https://docs.modalai.com/cable-datasheets/#mcbl-00064
        https://docs.modalai.com/cable-datasheets/#mcbl-00070

        Note, MCBL-00070 is brand new so we'll have the purchase link up soon.

        This guide also tells you some tips on how to modify these cables to your needs:

        So, if we do not have exactly what you need, you can easily modify some others to get you there.

        Hope this helps!
        Thanks
