AXL Carrier Board for Cube Orange Plus Autopilot

AXL's carrier board is the baseboard a CubePilot Cube Orange Plus autopilot plugs into. It breaks the Cube's signals out to labelled connectors for motors, servos, GPS, telemetry and a companion computer, and is made in India for multirotor, fixed-wing, VTOL and rover builds running ArduPilot or PX4. The Cube itself is sold separately.
