Initial V5a Working Reference #3

Mikefly123 · 2025-05-04T15:59:11Z

Summary

This is a first cut at bringing up all of the basic functionalities of the new V5a Flight Controller Board. All import errors and other weird showstoppers have been fixed and main.py will run as normal when you use this code on the new FC board.

Because we will still need to do some extensive updates to the pysquared library to add all of the manager components needed to run the new functionalities (see this PR for a list of them) I have temporarily just implemented most of the new functionalities in reply.py so they can be called as desired for testing.

How was this tested

Ran code on hardware (screenshots are helpful)
