Hi %username%!

i have some questions)):

1) does anyone know whether it is possible to install more powerful engines and a large capacity battery?
2) what is the maximum voltage allowed for the motherboard?
3) Does the motherboard connectors (or expansion) for the additional equipment? Such as GPS.

Thx for all)

Hi Egor,
1) Yes it is possible to install larger battery and motors. If using brushed motors we currently have about 5W power and our power path should be good for about 15W (dixit http://forum.bitcraze.se/viewtopic.php? ... s+power#p7). If you are interested in brushless motors Tobias have done some successful test controlling brushless controllers with Crazyflie (and in that case the power is not handled by our board anymore)
2) The motherboard is powered by 3.7V (4.2V max) battery or 5V USB. The brushed motor drivers can be used only if VBAT is provided (see our schematic in the wiki for more precisions)
3) Yes, at least UART, SPI and I2C, See schematic connector P6.

does anyone know whether it is possible to install more powerful engines and a large capacity battery?
