# Custom boards DroneCore Suite 2 is designed to support hardware extensibility. If the standard Pilot, Extension, or Power Boards do not fully meet your system requirements, custom boards can be developed to adapt the platform to your specific application. We explicitly encourage the development of custom boards when project constraints, mechanical layouts, electrical requirements, or payload interfaces differ from the reference designs. *** ### Option 1: Develop Your Own Custom Board You can design and manufacture your own custom board compatible with the DroneCore architecture. To support this process, we provide an Altium sample project based on our reference design. This project can be used as a starting point for: * Creating custom adapter boards * Designing application-specific extension boards * Developing custom power distribution boards (PDBs) * Modifying connector layouts or signal routing **Altium Sample Project:** {% file src="/files/3TXUL36GgF9l1K1YIORA" %} The reference design ensures electrical and mechanical compatibility with the DroneCore Pilot Board and related components. It is recommended to follow the defined interface specifications and signal mapping guidelines when creating custom hardware. *** ### Option 2: Request a Custom Board from Airvolute If you prefer not to design the hardware yourself, our engineering team can develop a custom board tailored to your requirements. This includes: * Requirements analysis * Electrical and mechanical design * PCB layout * Prototype manufacturing support * Production-ready design handover For custom hardware inquiries, please contact our sales team: **Email:** Include a brief description of your application, required interfaces, power requirements, and expected production volume to help us assess your request efficiently. *** Custom board support ensures that DroneCore Suite 2 can be adapted to a wide range of airframes, payload configurations, and mission profiles while maintaining architectural consistency. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
