"'''Y'''et '''A'''nother '''P'''aparazzi '''A'''utopilot". 
This autopilot was not designed to replace any other, but just as another version of the same and is posted here just in case it might be useful to anybody. The [[Yapa|Yapa]] is very similar to the [[Twog_v1|Twog_v1]] but has standard 100mil headers for direct standard servo connections, and has an option to put the xbee on the autopilot-board itself.

''When would you use a TWOG'':

*size and weight matter
*you have a Molex Crimper

''When YAPA might be useful'':

*you want to use the exact same airframe file as in a TWOG
*but you want mounting holes
*or you want standard servo connectors or have high power servo's
*a few extra grams don't matter
*want to connect any serial device (from a TLL/RS232 GPS to the latest RS422 XSens Mti-G)
*you want to connect an rs232/485/422 modem or an XBee directly

!''Version #''!!''Release Date''!!''Release Notes''
|-
|v1.00||07/2010||Initial release of Yapa v1
|}

== Features ==

* Basic Design very similar to [[Twog_v1|Twog_v1]] (uses same autopilot configuration file 'tiny2_1_1.h')
* 100mil headers instead of the (nice and lighter) Molex connectors
* Support Holes (e.g. use M3 bobbins: [http://nl.farnell.com/fivistop/0808vv06-45/mount-bobbin-male-male/dp/4995880])
* 5 x Analog 3.3V inputs with 2 of them low pass filtered
* (Optional) 2x RS232/RS422/RS485/3.3TLL serial ports for connecting virtually any serial device (if using xbee: then 1 port)
* (Optional) Onboard (optional) Xbee Modem
* 8 x PWM outputs on standard 1/10th inch headers
* 1 x R/C receiver PPM frame input
* 1 x [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Peripheral_Interface SPI] bus
* 1 x [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I2c I2C] bus
* 1 x USB (client) with either onboard mini-usb AND/OR remotely located USB Plug
* 2x 3.3v / 1A linear regulator for Processor and for XBee modem separated for safety
* 1 x status LEDs
* 80.0 x 40.0mm
* 23 grams including 2.4GHz Xbee Pro, all 100mil headers, usb connector, 2.5Amp 5V DCDC and serial converter
* 1 power switch with current limiter
* 2 layers PCB design, 0603 components
* (Optional) onboard 5v / 2.25A switching power supply (input voltage range 6.1v → 18v)
* 3 power options using a jumper/bridge to connect the servo power rail to the autopilot 5V power rail:
# In the case of few very low power servo's: you power your servo's from the autopilot power (not recommended: in any case check to make sure all servo's together never ever use more than 1.5 amp even when blocked)
# In the case of a high quality external BEC: you can omit the onboard regulator and power everything from the BEC.
# Otherwise: separated onboard autopilot 5V power and externally supplied servo power

Confused what to buy? To make it easier for you to get what you need quickly we have created bundles of the most common required components: 
All in one board (Tiny2.11) bundle: [http://ppzuav.com/osc/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=68 Tiny2.11 Bundle] <--'''''has GPS and antenna on the main board''''' 
Modular (TWOG) bundle: [http://ppzuav.com/osc/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=71 TWOG bundle] <--'''''requires an external GPS board to be connected (included w/bundle)''''' 

Each autopilot is professionally assembled in a large factory before we receive it. We open each to program and test before shipping. We do the same steps you see on the Wiki to verify it will accept your program when you receive it:
<ol>
<li>We load the bootloader
<li>configure the GPS module (LEA-5H Tiny2.11 we also update the GPS Firmware to the latest from u-blox)
<li>We load a sample tiny2.11 program into it.
<li>We verify it runs the program (LED1/RED flashes)
<li>Then acquires a 3D fix (LED2/GREEN flashes)
</ol>

<h5>Our goal is we test and get it ready for you to program before you receive it. Freeing you to focus on learning paparazzi.</h5>

Please eMail '''sales@ppzuav.com''' with any questions or special requests before you place your orders. We return emails as quickly as possible. If it's an easy question within hours. More complex or longer explanation requests may take some time to read then write your answer so be patient.

There is no proof for the 80% he is claiming. If you are still very willing to order from HALFBASE because of their attractive low prices then do have a look at the thread, the link of which is mentioned above. There is hardly anyone in there who has recieved the order from HALFBASE, also after they get your money, they just stop responding back. I am still waiting for my order from last 5 Months.

We know it's hard to decide what to get, what you need to do etc. so we do quite a bit to help ensure when your parts arrive they are pre-programmed and include cables you'll need. These steps include:

<li>Then acquires a 3D fix (LED2/GREEN flashes).
</ol>
* For TWOG orders we load the USB Boot Loader for you before shipping. 
* For Paparazzi GPS orders we update the u-blox firmware and load the Paparazzi GPS configuration file AND include the cable to connect it to the TWOG 
Our goal is for you to focus on learning paparazzi not trying to determine if your autopilot is working. This means you can use the USB programming cable (included) and load your aircraft configuration as soon as you receive your Autopilot. 

Please eMail '''sales@ppzuav.com''' with any questions or special requests before you place your orders. We return emails as quickly as possible. If it's an easy question within hours. More complex or longer explanation requests may take some time to read then write your answer so be patient.

If you are still very willing to order from HALFBASE because of their attractive low prices then do have a look at the thread, the link of which is mentioned above. There is hardly anyone in there who has recieved the order from HALFBASE, also after they get your money, they just stop responding back. I am still waiting for my order from last 5 Months.

Confused what to buy? We have bundles ([http://ppzuav.com/osc/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=68 Tiny2.11 Bundle] and [http://ppzuav.com/osc/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=71 TWOG bundle]) to make it easier for you to get what you need quickly.

We know it's hard to decide what to get, what you need to do etc. so we do quite a bit to help ensure when your parts arrive they are pre-programmed and include cables you'll need. These steps include:
<ol>
<li>We load the bootloader
<li>configure the GPS module (LEA-5H Tiny2.11 we also update the GPS Firmware to the latest from u-blox)
<li>We load a sample tiny2.11 program into it.
<li>We verify it runs the program (LED1/RED flashes)
<li>Then acquires a 3D fix (LED2/GREEN flashes).
</ol>
* For TWOG orders we load the USB Boot Loader for you before shipping. 
* For Paparazzi GPS orders we update the u-blox firmware and load the Paparazzi GPS configuration file AND include the cable to connect it to the TWOG 
Our goal is for you to focus on learning paparazzi not trying to determine if your autopilot is working. This means you can use the USB programming cable (included) and load your aircraft configuration as soon as you receive your Autopilot. 

Please eMail '''sales@ppzuav.com''' with any questions or special requests before you place your orders. We return emails as quickly as possible. If it's an easy question within hours. More complex or longer explanation requests may take some time to read then write your answer so be patient.
