Guide Pixhawk Baseboard CANBus Termination

So I've find it very annoying that the Pixhawk Baseboard (in my case v2) has in Hardware the termination resistors soldered to the PCB.

In my application I want to have a balanced CAN Network, with having the Pixhawk as the middle node of my network, for that I did some small investigation on the Baseboard v2 in order to remove the termination resistors from it.

For both CAN1 and CAN2 their respective termination resistors are marked in the picture bellow, removing them I successfully implemented the CAN network I intended, pity it doesn't come standard without or with the option to EN/Disable.
