Re: [Paparazzi-devel] 1BitSquared - Elle0 autopilot release

[Reto Büttner]

Hi Piotr

Now there is some information on the wiki. Many of my questions are answered. Thanks!

Some questions remain:

- How is the power supply realized? What external power supply is needed? What voltage levels does Elle0 accept? Can Elle0 supply all eight servos with sufficient power?

- Why does Elle0 have two spektrum RC inputs? Is it typical to connect two receivers?

- Why does Elle0 have eight servo outputs? Is it typical for such a system carrying such a tiny AP to have so many actuators?

I like the four status LED and the bind button.

An example configuration would still be great!

Best regards

Hi Piotr

Cool autopilot!

I consider to replace my old TWOGs with this board.

Unfortunately the Elle0 page on the Paparazzi Wiki seems not to be up and running yet.

Could you clarify what external components are needed and on what electrical interfaces and physical connectors they are connected:

- GPS

- Telemetry modem

- RC receiver

- IMU (?)

- Baro (?)

An example configuration for a simple fixed-wing aircraft (3 servos) would be great. E.g:

- Elle0

- GPS (recommended type?)

- Telemetry modem (Digi XBee might be the easiest to connect?)

- Spektrum remote receiver with PPM output (SPM9645 might be the easiest to connect?)

- Programming cable (USB)

- What else?

Best regards

Hi everyone,

As you might know here in the US there is a tradition to offer discounts on the Friday following Thanksgiving. So to thank all of you for being part of this awesome community we decided to offer some discounts in the 1BitSquared store for the whole weekend.

Also, today marks the release of the Elle0 autopilot. We have been working very hard and long on this new Paparazzi autopilot. Our main goal was to make it as affordable as possible without compromising on the power and memory needed to run Paparazzi.

We are still working on the documentation, but hopefully the wiki page will be filled with more details soon. For now you can take a look at the Pre-Order page. Elle0 will start shipping early 2016.

I hope you have a great holiday season.

Cheers,

Piotr Esden-Tempski and the 1BitSquared team
