UART/PX4IO Expander Board - S.bus RC with 8 Channels of PWM Output

Use this expansion board to enable the use of S.bus based RC receivers. With 8 PWM out channels, you have flexibility to control servos for gimbal control, or use the PWM signals to drive up to 8 single channel ESCs! Whatever your project, this expansion board unlocks additional capabilities and enables PWM control.

Firmware Upgrade for SDK 1.1.1 and later: If you have a VOXL 2 I/O board purchased before 2024 which worked with SDK 0.9.5 or older, you will need an updated firmware release for newer SDK support. We offer a free trade-in program to upgrade the firmware. Reach out at https://modalai.com/contact - If you send us your address, and the number of VOXL 2 I/O unites you have, we will send you new units for free. Once you have completed your upgrade, just send us back your old devices
