DCS2.VTOL
Description
DCS2.VTOL is a specialized extension board designed for fixed-wing and VTOL drone platforms. It combines signal extension with integrated power distribution, allowing both electrical power and control signals to be routed efficiently across the aircraft. Its design is optimized for the requirements of hybrid airframes that combine vertical takeoff capabilities with fixed-wing flight.

JET_CAM_SUPPLY is configurable to 3V3 or 5V by solder bridge on the bottom side of the board
SB open = 3V3 , SB closed = 5V
Pay attention to the cable pins' orientation (same/opposite side contacts). Cameras from different manufacturers can have different pin orders, so a wrong cable can cause a short-circuit!
