Re: [Paparazzi-devel] SD Data Logger

[Marc Schwarzbach]

Hi Christophe,

your idea with the categories looks very clear to me. I just looked at the 
hardware table and was confused myself... 


Lisa/M looks like it could be a new "beginners module" since it has standard 
conectos and the potential to be used with IR or upgraded to IMU.

And it is also a step ahead in size and power of the processor...

Is there a timeline on testing and having a final version? Any special fields 
where there is much work left / help needed?

Marc
