Thank you. It's interesting! Just now, I was indeed testing a bi-directional ESC (Electronic Speed Controller), and after thorough testing, I confirmed that it is indeed viable. The ESC can successfully communicate via the D-Shot protocol in both directions, enabling us to retrieve the motor's RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) information.

From a glance I'd suggest JST-GH and CAN, at least.

From a glance I'd suggest JST-GH and CAN, at least.

JST-GH is a highly professional interface, equipped with self-locking functionality. Initially, my design utilized the JST-GH1.25 connector, along with a CAN interface. However, for the sake of ease of use for beginners, many of whom are familiar with the Pixhawk design, I aimed to make it more user-friendly. My intention with this version of the flight controller is to facilitate a smoother introduction to Ardupilot for newcomers. Currently, I am working on an extensive Wiki tutorial to encourage more people to join the Ardupilot community, expanding its pool of contributors.
