[Paparazzi-devel] Part Sources

[Steve Turner]

Hi,

 

    I have been interested in UAV's for a while, and am attempting to build one. I may try to build a paparazzi, and at least use some of your ideas. You guys have done a great job. I am fairly new to the AVR's and C programming, so it is a steep learning curve for me. I have not yet located a source for the modem chip however. I have been unable to find any info on the CMX469D3, but did find some info on a CMX469AD3 (http://www.cmlmicro.com/Products/WData/CMX469A.htm). Is this the chip you used? Looks like most everything else DigiKey has.

    I am also wondering if your printer had any problems printing the board to a transparency without smudging between the small pads of the AVR's? I have a cheap HP printer, and some of my pads print out with 3 pads connected together. Maybe a higher quality printer would work better.

    I have a website with a little stuff on UAV's (http://www.steveonweb.com). More just a collection of some of my ideas. I have since moved away from the PIC's and on the AVR's. Probably nothing new for you guys on there however. Thanks for any ideas or pointers.
