I couldn't ask for any clearer. There's only one component that I can't read the numbers, a little rectangular one just above and to the right of the round antenna pin in the center.
While in theory you could take all the components off and scan the board it's easier to just reverse engineer the schematic and lay it out again. It's not that hard to do these days. The info to do all but the LNA/filter strip of components is defined in the software source code. From it we know that for instance the gps SDA line goes to BP7 on the cpu, SCL to PB6, etc...
But the LNA/filter parts would probably have to be unsoldered and measured to exactly duplicate that part.
That's not the problem, I could generate a set of schematics and gerbers for it if I had one to take apart. The problem is moral, legal, ethical, whatever you want to call it. Reversing it for personal use is probably OK but the least restrictive the board license is is probably still non-commercial use only like the revo, oplink, and other boards that we have original schematics for. I think only the cc3d had a true open hardware license that allowed commercial duplication. Unless someone changed to license from non-commercial use I don't even think the revo and oplink copies are truly legitimate.
That said, if I had one, even an intact but non-working one, I'd regenerate the schematic and gerbers so people could homebrew their own. Someone would have to donate one knowing they'd never get it back.
A better solution would be to lay out a new board using either the same 7 series module or the newer 8 series ublox module and just make it software compatible with the current board. That would avoid any question about the licensing of the board.
I've considered doing that, these days the hardware is easier than debugging the firmware. But who's going to build them? I might hand build a couple for myself but I don't want to get into building and selling hardware. And I could be wrong but I haven't seen anything that would make me think the project itself wants to get into building hardware.
And cost is also a consideration, in the US and Europe the parts to build one are way more than what we can buy the complete boards from China with separate gps and mag wires. That's why I started working on a combiner board that will take one of those boards and make it look to the FC like an actual V9. The rest of the parts I need to develop this should be here in a week or so. By early to mid January I should be ready to order blank PCBs. I'm not sure whether or not I actually want to build and sell them but I was intending to make the design fully open source / open hardware so anyone can build their own once I get my own prototypes working properly.
