Arsov RC Technology is proud to introduce a new vision of the PX4 v2 Autopilot board. The Arsov AUAV X1 is another elegant design from Phillip Kocmoud and Nick Arsov. Our goal was to product a high quality, compact, lightweight and cost effective alternative to the PX4 V2 or PixHawk autopilots. This is our first attempt to join the PX4 community after developing several successful designs for the MatrixPilot community. After we have finalized the design we will release the design files and schematics. The schematics will be released immediately to new owners. Initial supplies are limited and a deposit insures a boards in the first production run.
Availability:

New power supply based on TPS63061 DC-DC Buck-Boost
The TPS63061 device provides a power supply solution for products powered by either three-cell up to six-cell alkaline, NiCd or NiMH battery, or a one-cell or dual-cell Li-Ion or Li-polymer battery. Output currents can go as high as 2A while using a dual-cell Li-Ion or Li-Polymer Battery, and discharge it down to 5V or lower. So you can connect a 2 cell Li-Po directly to the AUAV X1, and run it completely flat before brownout. Since it's a buck-boost converter, you can also power from a 5V BEC while still in regulation. Additional info about this Buck-Boost regulator could be found here - http://www.ti.com/product/tps63061
Connections:
4 x UARTs - 3 of them have Vcc, Tx, Rx, GND and one has a full set - Vcc, Tx, Rx, RTS, CTS, GND
1 x CAN with MAX3051
1 x I2C
1 x SPI
2 x ADC + 2 x ADC for current and voltage sensing
8 x PWM Receiver Inputs
8 x PWM Servo Outputs
2 x JTAG connection specifically for the TC2030-CTX-NL 6-Pin cable
micro SD card holder
micro USB connector
All inputs and outputs are ESD and EMI protected
Dimensions:
30mm x 43mm

mp1, do you know how to get a clone image of a project directory from GitHub ? If not then visit https://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/wiki/Download?tm=2
Download the appropriate TortoiseGit for your system, install and then get clone image
There is another quick method, the link is here;
https://github.com/pkocmoud/AUAVX1/archive/master.zip
The only difference between the two methods is that in the first one you can always sync your local folder with the latest updates on the Git without actually downloading all the files.
Cheers !
@Nick
The text taken from the link below clearly says "owners" get the files. This sounds like buyers get a special link.
I think its a problem when it should say public, meaning even if you dont buy you can grab the files yourself.

I can only find separate PDF files for schematics but no any files for boards or altium/eagle design files. In generally PDF files are not good for problem solving etc. You guys plan to release those too?
As promised, the board files can now be found here: https://github.com/pkocmoud/AUAVX1
Philip,
Please see the fifth sentence of this thread:
"After we have finalized the design we will release the design files and schematics."
I think it is CLEAR ENOUGH!
Although we're not sure these will be the final schematics and PCB, all the R1 files will be published today.
The history of all my designs shows they always have been open to the communities.
BEST REGARDS!
Nick

I am happy to remove all reference to you on this, IF you release the FULL Schematic and PCB files. Your product IS a derivative, and you MUST contribute back, and acknowledge the licence from Lorenz. You Must publish the PCB and Schematic files. and you should, contribute back to this community through the profits you make from selling this.
Hi Doug,
Yes, I know the PDFs and the application files are for MAX21000, but 21100 register info is still not available at Maxim.....very frustrating.....
I have configured the SP0 pin per the data sheet for the next-to-LSb to be zero and have tried 0xB0 and 0xB1 in accordance with the data sheet which may of course be wrong. I can set up to just bang all the addresses and look for a response though… I'll carry on with all the typical debugging stuff - was just hoping it may be a problem someone else has already solved :)
Doug, have you tried ALL I2C addresses looking for ACK?
Data sheet listed address 101100X where x might be a config pin.
So if your I2C library takes a different address for TX and RX then I'd try
Read 0xB1 or 0xB3
Write 0xB0 or 0xB2
If it takes a single address for TX and RX then I'd try
0x58 and 0x59
