"From a heatsinking perspective, the package plus board stack thickness for the FETs is almost exactly 1/4". With the copper clearance from the edge of the board, extracting some more heat might be as simple as a little TIC and some aluminium…"
"Fantastic to see you still making good progress with the Techpod."
"Gary,
As usual, the last link from Pat Egan lays it out clearly enough. I share your concern that folks are just burying their heads in the sand on this one; but short of rioting in the streets, what *should* we be doing to balance the situation?…"

"Randy, most UARTs (including those on the STM32) support operation in a multi-drop mode. There are a variety of ways to wire things; you can use RS-422/485 differential signalling (requires a line driver) as in many industrial applications, or you…"
"Phil, I did write a MAVlink bridge to FlightGear, yes. I was never able to get FG working properly to verify/finish it, sadly."
"I'm a bit curious why you need a parser if all you're doing is proxying.
Are you maintaining state on e.g. stream requests/rates and filtering accordingly for the various downstream consumers? Do you do request/reply matching?

"It's a Jarel design, meaning that a) it's not going to be "conventional", b) construction will be somewhat involved, but c) it will fly better than you expect.

"@Todd not that I'm suggesting Java per se, but you seem a bit confused about a few things.
