I'm afraid not at the moment - I totally acknowledge the need for good
documentation and will be working on it as time allows.

Joby Robotics is a young company and they are still in the process of
getting their ssl certification.

Now, that is a tricky question. They are still fine tuning the details
of their assembly process. Also at the moment, testing procedure is
very time consuming. No board leaves the company before being flown
first.

The Overo is not mandatory and the board will fly the booz code on the
STM32 alone. If you intend to fly the booz code, you will need an IMU.
Lisa supports a number of them ( booz_v1 and crista  at the moment),
work is in progress to add support for xsense xti, vector nav vn100
and a new custom model called aspirin, which should be cost effective
compared to the former.

If you intend to fly the regular fixed wing Paparazzi code, you can
use infrared sensors. Support for this is in progress at the moment.
