Hi!

The compatibility matrix mainly shows if two decks are compatible from an electrical point of view, that is if pins they use interfere in any way. The Break out deck does not use any pins by default so you can use it with any other deck, but you have to keep in mind which pins you connect to make sure they do not interfere with the other deck(s) you use.

By the way, the wiki is being phased out and more recent information about decks can be found on our web https://www.bitcraze.io/documentation/s ... siondecks/

As you can see in the list, the lighthouse deck is using RX1, TX1, SDA and SCL

Hi kristoffer.

Thank you, we will try to use both breakout deck and lighthouse deck at the same time.

We develop the drone based on crazyflie bolt and will put the lighthouse deck and breakout deck on it.
We also try to use external LEDs. ( About wiring, we still have couple of question here viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4880 )

That would be interesting for someone so we are gonna feedback to the community ;)
