JustStan bf32b28266 Standardize repo: .gitignore, README, license, remove production from tracking
- Standardize .gitignore to match ecosystem template
- Fix README: remove stale Radioschematic ref, fix 10V→12V, remove generic sections
- Replace LICENSE stub with full CERN-OHL-S-2.0 text
- Remove production/ from git tracking (generated, re-exportable)
- Untrack generated files: OpenFC.net, replicate_layout.log, ibom, old render

## Features
### Microcontroller
- **RP2354B** - Raspberry Pi dual-core ARM Cortex-M33 @ 150MHz (with integrated flash)
### Integrated ELRS Receiver (Break-off)
- On-board 2.4GHz ExpressLRS receiver module
- Break-off design allows for different placement if needed
### Sensors
- **IMU**: LSM6DSV16XTR
- **Barometer**: BMP388
### Blackbox Data Logging
- **BY25Q128ASWIG** - 128Mbit (16MB)
### Motor Outputs
- 4x PWM/DShot motor outputs
### Analog OSD on PIO
Hardware implementation of opamp and mux to detect syncs and select between white and black pixels. Needs software implementation still.
### Connectivity
- **USB-C** - Configuration and firmware flashing
- **UART0** - Serial RX/TX (ELRS connection pads)
- **UART1** - Spare serial port
- **PIO UART** - Software UART via RP2350 PIO (2x)
- **I2C** - External sensor expansion
- **SPI** - IMU and Blackbox on isolated bus.
### Analog Inputs
- Current sensor input (ADC)
- RSSI input (ADC)
- 1 external available ADC input
### Additional Features
- Addressable LED strip output (WS2812/NeoPixel)
- Buzzer output
- 16 LED's built in on corners
- ELRS ESP flashable by the RP2354B (BOOT/EN pins connected)
### Power
- 2S-6S batteries
- 12V and 5V regulated outputs, 12V is switchable
