Details regarding the powerboard.
In this section, you can find all the topics related to the hardware of the vehicle, which is a 1/10 scale on-road chassis variant.
Each vehicle can come with various hardware small modifications, as it is designed for hobby usage.
Here’s the description of the car, with all it’s components:
In the following schematics you can see the connections diagram of all the HW components of the car. The GPIO lines are marked on each component.
And here’s the table with all the components and all the needed details.
