you can use that pin or another one - the current code defaults to the
"ST_UART1_TRIG" pin on the UART1 connector
The pin assignment is rather flexible on the stm32.

I2C2 is used for the baros, but there's a connector and bandwidth available

CAN is definitely better suited for long wires and perturbed
environments than I2C

No documentation as far as I know - Eagle files are in the svn
No more information I'm sorry. Contact me offlist and I might be able
to get you a proto.

sounds like a good idea. So you'd have enough with the 6 servo signals
available on lisa/L
