Where can I find the schematics and board layout for the Revolution?

I know it's still under development, but from the sounds of it, boards have been produced, but I'm interested to see what the schematics and layout look like.

The schematics and layout will be published into git once the Revolution has been released. (Unless I'm mistaken, there are only two or three of them in existence.)

Exactly, most of the core team don't have them but it's not even final yet! We still are testing sensors and the current revision has not even flown.

Thanks for the info.

BTW: For some strange reason, I didn't get notifications for your posts.

I apologize if I am posting in the wrong place, but I would like to get an understanding of the capabilities of the CC3D and revolution boards. Is there a feature list published somewhere? Thanks!

I suspect that the final feature list for the Revolution board won't be published until the design is frozen. I think that OP learned a lot of hard lessons with the Invensense gyros, and is seeking to avoid that kind of, well, trauma the second time around. At the very least, you can expect a larger processor that is roughly twice as fast and has a lot more memory and flash-- with the ensuing capability of doing onboard scripting with PyMite, a pressure sensor, and a magnetometer. More than that is tough to say at this moment.

That's a pretty good summary.  Yeah we currently have two main prototypes with three sensor combinations that we are comparing currently.
