Pyxida Rev. 5 was a major revision that included a new radio chip (CC1120) to replace the old xBee radio add on. Rev. 5 Also included a new breakout board expansion to allow more modules to be added to Pyxida without the need for an entire redesign and manufacturing of a new board. Breakout for this revision included a barometer breakout, programmer breakout, and pyro breakout.
