Restated, if you have any active components on your custom made MXP board and you are using any of the PWM outputs on the MXP connector for controlling motors or servos, the board can only be one of the three pre-approved boards listed in R58.

More to come later...
Is a simplified interpretation: "Except for the pre-approved boards, and boards with no components (board is only line traces), No connection from the MXP board to a Motor Controller."?

Any thoughts on why Custom Circuits cannot be used for PWM, but are allowed on the CAN Bus, and thus might be controlling the Motor Controllers?
