STM LPR425AL (2-Axis Gyroscope)
The 2-axis gryoscope (likely an STM LPR425AL) is an analog sensor measuring rotation along the x- and y-axes
Is covered with a metal shield to avoid interferences (marked as 067S8 in some models), this makes his identification dificult

Charging Station Pads
2 copper pads that are part of a little PCB with no traces that works as a support for the pads. Are soldered (no connectors) to the main board with 2 wires: black (ground) red (volts)

- This pads are common and has the same size and position than the Move Navigation Controller
Extension Connector
Marked in the plastic as "ext" and refered as "extension connector" in the Move Sharp Shooter "Instruction Manual.pdf"
8 pins custom made (exact alternative part not found yet)
This connector is used to communicate with the Move Sharp Shooter gun. The buttons, trigger, etc... of this gun can send signals to the move controller

- Notes
- All the squematics and pinouts in "D-lite MoveCopter manual" and "Kenn Sebesta blog" related with this connector are taken directly from the main board (not from the external connector). The squematics explained in these pages are from an old model with different number of pins (some of them duplicated or displaced). There are at least 3 different board models where this pins are different, but in all models the lines are reordered at the "EXT connector" (and reduced to 8), all models has the same pinout externally explained here in ps3devwiki
- In MoveCopter bootloader several pins of MCU has been remaped, included 3 pins of "EXT connector" (for input/output data), and the 3 RGB lines from the LED + 1 line from the rumble motor (to controll 4 servo motors for the helices of the quadcopter)
Obsolete not-acurate notes The connector is soldered in a "children board" identifyed as "connector board", is connected with the "main board" with a 12 traces ribbon cable (and 2 pressure connectors). Only 4 lines of the ribbon cable are used for data signals (protected with a resistor and a diode in the children board) + 1 line for "ground" and 1 line for 3.2volts I will upload a complete squematic of this sub-circuit later

PS3 homebrew support for move controller by faking the device as a wireless mouse, there is no support for native firmware move modules/functions (yet)
The PS Move API
Is a library to access the Sony Move Motion Controller via Bluetooth and USB directly from your PC (Linux, Mac OS X, Windows) without the need for a PS3. Mobile platforms are also supported (or planned): Support for MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan is already working, support for Android is in the works. The library is free software, released under a Simplified BSD License, so you can use it in both open source and proprietary closed-source applications, as long as you follow the license terms.

Move On PC
PS Move Motion Controller as input device on PCs and mobile devices May 2012: We are participating in the Google Summer of Code. We will keep you updated about our progress here. The old code base will be archived in the Downloads section soon, and we will base our future MoveOnPC work on Thomas Perl's "PS Move API" project, but add support for tracking and computer vision to the library.

D-Lite MoveCopter
"CopterControl bootloader" port for "Move controller"
Is a custom bootloader/firmware for the ARM STM32 microcontroller series. The installation is composed by the "bootloader" (move hardware specific, installed by JTAG) and the "flight firmware" (common for all STM32 microcontrollers, installed by USB)
The flight firmware is intended to stabilish a flying quadcopter using data from position sensors (like the gyroscopes and the 3-axis acelerometers in move)
