'''Kermit''' is the fifth revision of the HABEES Standard Avionics Platform. It implements most of the functionality that exists in Gen 4 rev 2 Avionics, but the architecture of the boards has been changed, and functionality removed to reduce the complexity of implementation and application of the flight stack. <br/>

Gen 5 Avionics remains a 4-layer board. All signals were routed on the top and bottom layers, while only the heater trace went beyond those two layers. While it may be possible to route the heater trace on the top and bottom layer, it will be much more difficult, if impossible, to apply the traces directly to the components which require heat, such as the GPS and MCU.
