View source for Docu for MultiRotorMania board(s)

This page provides documentation for the STorM32-BGC board sold by [http://multirotormania.com/ Multi Rotor Mania].

== Dos and Don'ts ==

Please read the tutorial's [[Getting Started#Dos and Don'ts|Dos and Don'ts]]. 

The board is shipped without firmware, it hence needs first to be flashed (see [[Docu for witespy board#Flashing Firmware|here]]).

Also, the pins on the connector I2C#2 on the bottom side are reversed as compared to those of connector I2C. Pay attention to that when connecting a second IMU to the I2C#2 port. Fortunately, it is relatively easy to swap the pins on the connectors of the supplied IMU cables.
