Onboard Computer

In a second iteration of the vehicle, the onboard computer was switched to an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano which already comes with its own carrier board (developed by NVIDIA). The specific model used is the 8GB Developer Kit version. Besides switching to a newer version of the board (Orin vs Xavier), the Orin Nano also includes some GPIO pins which can be used to directly connect to the flight computer without the need for an FTDI adaptor.
