Specifically I mean the names are a little similar and readers might not differentiate their purpose.

It has a payload connector to power additional devices

I think this is worth having separately

@patrikpordi Absolutely worth having separately. My point is that the reason for this "connector to power additional devices" is not obvious, so it isn't clear why you would chose this.

I've added a clarification in b1a3039

This is similar to the ARK 12S PAB Power Module except that the additional 12V 6A supply allows easier powering of a payload.

How is his different than the ARK PAB Power Module? I find this confusing.

Note, I have added all the new docs except for this to the sidebar - that was what the "flaw checker" errors were mostly about.

It is the same, only a version that does no have connectors attached to the power module, some people might want to solder the cables and not to use connectors.

This might be better just to be included in the ARK PAB Power Module as an option.

I think so, if it has no other differences. I'll leave that to you

Let me know if anything else is needed!

Also I sent you a message about the ESC docs on discord. We should revise that!

FYI, I just moved the text a bit. Makes it more clear what you're looking at.

No flaws found


ARK RTK GPS L1 L5 comes with the Ublox F9P module up to date with version 1.13 or newer. However, you can check the version and update the firmware if desired.

FYI, I just updated this case to use numbering rather than bullets. I recommend but do not require you use numbers for steps that are ordered, and bullets for steps that can be done in any order. That's why I didn't update the steps in "Enabling DroneCAN"
