Taking me seriously? Who are you and what have you done with cre8tivleo?


Anyway, I'd draw your attention to whats in the bag and not the bag itself. There's a nice label on it

Static bags? I hope not. We need less static not more. Unless you mean the type that don't move... Those are better than the ones who do.

Look at what just arrived in the mail....

I'll drink to that....


Oh no. We're going OT again!

hello rob, "... a non policed rule", uhm... in my first post in the "welcome" thread, i made a feeble attempt @ some humor. it got the desired response, a couple shots at me and a lite-hearted flow of banter between the "core group", the same bunch that have been invol...

I streamlined some of the code and junked what I thought was not useful at the time.

Once I have the mixer up and running, I'll revamp the output. It's not a problem.


Kaos, you implying I'm fat? I'm not.... (just weight 240, that's all )

I'm a high intensity type of person. Don't think I know how to do this differently.

There's a short explanation on the code page: http://code.google.com/p/pipo/

To edit the mixer and/or update fw, you will have to use your usbasp programmer. Once I have the FW and pipofig in place I'll do a short writeup.

Coming soon to a PIPO near you.... The er9x mixer. I was able to port the mixer with almost all the functions including: 1) Slow/Delay 2) Custom switches 3) limits Still finalizing stuff and getting pipofig upto snuff. This will be ported to pipo32 as well. Just wish I had some time to BREATH! I hav...

My design heroes are the new Jeti, Multiplex EVO and to some extent the Futaba FG8.

You guys are just too easy
I can't wait till next year!

motorized sticks...
Good: force-feedback
Bad: break? (are they spring-loaded?) long startup.

Still extremely skeptical about this making it to market. At least we now see they have a real product, or at least a working prototype.

I thought it would be better to have a thread dedicated to this unit. OK guys, Time to spell out the specs. No april fools this time: 1) MCU is a high density STM32. 512k of SRAM. Lotsa lotsa room. Lotsa IO's too. You will not outgrow this one. (Heck, there are LINUX versions that can run on that......

As far as size is concerned....

I'll do a drawing but it's pretty simple. Outside dimensions are 45x45. Hole spacing is 30.5mm.

hehehe, I don't think that was me then...

I was considering going smaller but there seem to be others that are that small. 45x45 is a bit bigger but still pretty small. I plan on making a microquad to show this. Interstingly enough, the MPU-9050 will not save space, it will just add a magnetometer. This is only important if you have a full ...

I gotta admit that I was smiling and laughing like crazy when I wrote this.

Your money is safe with me, I assure you.

Right,
Thanks for catching that!

Hello all, V2 has been discussed for some time now. Secretly, Mike and I have been working on it to make it the best FW since, well, ever! All the hard work has come to fruition and I think this is the time to tell you what the future of er9x holds.... We've had lot's of issues that seem to stem fro...

Now you tell me...


9-axis is:
3 axis for gyro, 3 axis for accelerometer and 3-axis for magnetometer.
Actually, there's an altimeter on board too so I guess you could call it 10-axis


On other news....

Big (well not really), shiney, new and FASSSSTTTTT!!!!!


But it will be more expensive than the 8-bit PIPO. I expect the price to be ~$80. Still, with 20 I/Os, and a whole sea of memory to play with.....

More to come...

Yeah,

But I fixed it. Now all I have to do is lay out the board. It will be a killer this one.

Agggghhhhhrrrr!!!!

After 3 hours straight of sitting down and ordering components I save, and close the program. Only to think of something else, open again and see that it all went to garbage! Horror!

Back to the Drawing board.

It won't get much smaller. I'll probably go with a killer MCU and a 36x36 size. Still pretty small.
Problem is that smaller is also much harder to handle.

Maybe once I get the software sorted and the line is going well I'll do a micro versio, but that's still a bit off.

I saw that first hand.... literally!

It can do flybarless now. But I'm consulting with Groot... I'll definitely make a new board. Knowing me it should be ready before the end of the next month. Meanwhile I still have a couple of 8-bit units available. Willing to sell them at $40 to anyone who wants. (those of you who have bought one la...
