BrushedSparky v0.2

This is an update on the BrushedSparky that I posted about a month ago.

I got version 0.2 back.  There are a number of improvements over the previous revision.

  • A bigger motor mount hole allows for stronger mounts.
  • Using a 1.2 mm PCB shaves a bit of weight off. 
  • Changed the 5V step up regulator for a new one that is more efficient (and doesn't hum).
  • Using a more available VTX module so I can build more :)
  • Shuffled some components around for a slightly slimmed profile (also got a stencil to make it faster to populate).
  • Current monitoring (enables mAh consumed calculation)
  • Switch to disable VTX for flying LOS
  • VTX channel selection via the FC
  • LEDs on the arms for following via FPV
  • Two additional PicoBlade connectors for clipping arms to it and making a hex. Also two more buffered outputs on the back such as for LEDs.

So far I'm really happy with it and having a great time with it. A longer writeup can be found here: http://buildandcrash.blogspot.com/2015/03/brushedsparky-v02.html
