VOXL 2 I/O Expander Board — UART / PWM Expansion Module for VOXL 2 (Dev Kit w/ PWM Breakout, Spektrum & SBUS RC Support)
The Kamikaze is a high-performance FPV drone built for speed and versatility. Equipped with dual day and night cameras.
Description
The VOXL 2 I/O Expander Board (M0065 series) significantly extends the functionality of VOXL 2 — enabling you to add RC input, PWM outputs, and custom I/O peripherals without needing a separate flight controller board. This expansion module is especially relevant for integrators, OEMs, and defence/UAV developers who want a compact — yet flexible — interface board for servos, ESCs, gimbals, RC receivers, and other mission-specific peripherals.
Key capabilities and benefits:
-
Adds 8 PWM output channels to VOXL 2 for servos, ESCs, gimbals, payload actuators etc. (via PWM breakout) ModalAI Technical Docs+1
-
Supports SBUS and Spektrum RC receivers over UART — enabling direct RC link without extra flight controller hardware. ModalAI Technical Docs+1
-
Provides UART interface (host UART) for communication between VOXL 2 core and the I/O board; simplifies wiring and integration. AMOV LAB+1
-
Compact, lightweight module — weighs ~ 4 g and small form factor (approx. 25 mm × 33 mm × 7.2 mm). ModalAI Technical Docs
-
Ideal for advanced UAVs where you want a tight SWaP (size, weight, power) footprint, but still need flexible I/O: for example — gimbal control, drop mechanisms, payload release, ESC control, servo actuators, external sensors, etc.
This expansion board is designed for technical users / integrators comfortable with embedded development, wiring and firmware configuration. It interfaces directly with VOXL 2 via UART and integrates with the standard VOXL SDK / PX4 driver (voxl2_io). ModalAI Technical Docs+2AMOV LAB+2
Given your company’s focus (defence-grade UAVs, GPS-denied, non-Chinese sourcing, custom builds), this board offers a useful modular I/O expansion option — perfect for custom payloads, servo-based actuators, and flexible RC / control setups.

Applications
Have Questions?
What radio frequencies do military FPV drones use?
Most use 2.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz bands for video and control; advanced models may use encrypted digital links or frequency-hopping to resist jamming.
What is the typical range of a military FPV drone?
Standard range is 2–10 km line-of-sight, depending on transmitter power, antenna type, and environmental interference.
What camera resolution is offered by kamikaze?
The Kamikaze is equipped with a 4K thermal camera that delivers reliable surveillance in any lighting condition. Whether you're monitoring during daylight hours or complete darkness, the thermal imaging technology captures clear, detailed footage without relying on visible light. This makes it ideal for round-the-clock security operations where traditional cameras might struggle.
Are spare parts available for repairing the Kamikaze FPV kit?
As India's leading drone experts, we stock all essential spares for the trikaal airframe, motors, flight controllers etc. to keep you flying after crashes with minimal downtime.
What after-sales support do you offer for technical FPV issues?
Purchasing the Advik Analog or Digital kit allows you to avail a FREE technology consultation with our experts to resolve any FPV issues faced or ask any technical questions related to the drone's components, accessories or flight performance
