        Hello!

        How can we connect external addon sensors like the ranging addon to the Primus V4 board?
        I can see that the connector is not there on Primus V4, so can I buy it from somewhere and solder it on? Does the firmware support that? Also, what is the name of this connector, and where can I get it from?

        Regards,
        Nitika.

            Thanks for responding!
            I want to use the ranging sensor with Primus V4 because that is what I have, and I don’t have the funds to buy any other controller. I am sure there will be some way. Maybe soldering the unibus connector will work. My question is whether the firmware will support it or not. How can I make it possible with Primus V4? Could you give me some ideas?

              If you see the FC comparison table in the hardware section , the STM processors also look different , so I am not sure sure if the same firmware would work . If you manage to solder unibus you can try flashing Primus x firmware to test .

                I hope I can go back to the Primus V4 firmware again if that does not work, right?
