In this video i am talking a bit about the new hardware revisions and what challenges had to be faced in the development.
We are slowly moving towards being a stable hardware platform fit for further development.


The old FFBoard did not have enough pins and would have made development much harder than needed.
The new board has more reserved pins and even a CAN interface and emergency stops.
The new motor driver is almost a complete redesign and fixes all issues mentioned in the last update.
