Optional Battery and Camera Build Items

ARCHIVED DOCUMENT

This is a historical design or implementation note, kept as a record of why the code is shaped the way it is. It describes the project as of the date in its filename and is not a guide to follow — commands, paths, and constants may no longer match the code. See the Archive index for current alternatives.

Goal

Document two optional OpenFlight build components in both the canonical parts list and the Raspberry Pi setup prerequisites:

  • Geekworm X1202 four-cell UPS HAT for Raspberry Pi 5
  • InnoMaker OV9281 global-shutter camera module

Documentation Changes

Add both products to the existing Optional table in docs/PARTS.md, using the supplied Amazon links. List the UPS HAT at approximately $48 and note that it requires four compatible 18650 Li-ion cells, sold separately for roughly $25 total. List the camera at approximately $30.

Add matching bullets under a current Optional heading in docs/raspberry-pi-setup.md. Keep this heading separate from the existing deprecated K-LD7 hardware so builders do not mistake the new items for deprecated components.

Scope

This is a purchase-list and prerequisite-checklist update only. It does not add installation instructions, change the core cost summary, or claim that either item is required for OpenFlight operation.

Verification

Review the Markdown tables and lists for valid formatting, confirm both Amazon links exactly match the supplied URLs, and inspect the final Git diff for unrelated changes.
