I see this LOW COST boards long time @
taobao (lisa/M and umarin) but i will never order
from this store.
Even in the pictures i can see the low quality of
board assembly.
Some time it come without some connectors.

1.0 for sale
Ralph,
It maybe important to note (all) that these
very low cost versions are using inexpensive
versions of the specified parts for the
inductors, crystals and other ICs. This does
lower the cost of the BOM.
I can source them also from TaoBao.com and
offer them for 160.00 at
www.ppzuav.com. I will
be sure to note they are not using the same
parts as the 299.00 versions so it is
undetermined if they will have the same
reliability or even work properly. I will also
continue to make the ones I have assembled in
the USA available. Those use the exact parts
specified in the BOM but cost more.
I welcome you Ralph, there is plenty of
demand for Paparazzi to have many vendors. I
write this to just let you know about the Get
Hardware link and mention the bit about being
more transparent if you deviate from the BOM
spec parts. The BOM is very clear which parts to
use for a good reason (so people assembling them
use those parts).
PS: it is also not a good idea to use images
from the Wiki on your web store to advertise
without asking permission from the owner. Take
your own photos and show your customers what
they are actually buying.
Best regards,
To all developers,
I am from Droneasy Inc., I am selling
Paparazzi Apogee 1.0 on my webshop.
