Sabre Upcoming Updates, Schematic

Updated 2/21/18: Updated schematic to reflect actual physical wiring for camera switcher and second camera.

In addition to the updates to the ground station, I will also be updating equipment on the Sabre.

I have more equipment on the way. Two main things:

1. A GPS module called a tBeacon.
This records the latest GPS location from the Vector flight controller, so that if the plane goes down, you can call the tBeacon using a handheld HAM radio. Then the tBeacon verbally communicates the last know GPS coordinates, allowing you to find your plane. It's an item for peace of mind.

2. A camera switcher.
I have a micro FPV camera and camera switcher on the way. I plan to put the new camera looking forward on the vertical stabilizer of the Sabre, allowing a different perspective to enjoy the FPV experience. The camera switcher operates on a channel and will swap between the main camera and the tail camera.

Below is an updated schematic, which reflects the new changes.
