3DR Solo for external sensors/ devices interface

[Rohan]

Hi ,
I have a question. I would like to know if I can connect external sensors (for ex. lidar, sonar, etc. etc.) through I2C, MAVLINK and CAN bus directly on the 3DR solo motherboard?

-> Does SOLO motherboard have any interface for MAVLINK, I2C and CAN bus connectors to plug the sensors in?

-> If the above is not possible, can I use the carrier board for pixhawk2 on the SOLO motherboard to extract all the pins for plugging external sensors?

Thanks in Advance.

@jubair, isn't that what the "breakout board" is used for?

solo's accessory bay port has i.MX6 USB, Serial and CAN. It does not have I2C. If you want I2C you'll need to get it from the compass or battery board.
