CheBuzz Paparazzi

Due to an unexpected change in my "real" job, I will regrettably be returning to the United States in the near future. As such, I will be closing my webshop for good. It has been a pleasure getting to know so many paparazzi users and an honor to supply hardware to you. Thanks for all the help and support I have received.

I apologize for the short notice. But I will be taking orders until Friday 24 September, so anybody wishing to purchase paparazzi equipment from my store will be able to do so until that time.

Thankfully somebody has offered to step up and take my place. I have been working with Chris and AeroFu (aerofu.com) and he has agreed to continue providing paparazzi hardware and to selling out the remainder of my inventory. I am confident he will continue to provide a high level of service and support for those looking to get into the hobby and into the paparazzi project.

Again, thanks to all and happy flying!

Credit card processing on my website is approved and installed! It is now my preferred form of payment. I also will accept other most other common forms of payment. E-mail me chebuzz@gmail.com to arrange other forms of payment.

Trying to answer some common questions, I strive to make everything as "plug and play" as possible for you. So of course that means the bootloader and GPS have been preprogrammed. The PPM encoder is also preprogrammed and ready to go with the latest bootloader and firmware. Kits come with all the cables necessary. If you have any other suggestions, I would love to hear them. Please email me and let me know.

Confused what to buy? Just give us an email and we will help you decide (sales@ppzuav.com).

We make it simple. Each autopilot is professionally assembled in a large factory by automated pick and place and reflow to ISO9000 standards. To be sure yours will work we open every one and test before shipping. If it fails we don't sell it.

The testsi:

1. Power it with a current limited power supply to verify voltages and current draw
2. Load the usb bootloader so it can be programmed via USB
3. Configure the GPS module for Paparazzi
4. Load a sample aircraft program and verify the program runs correctly.
5. Verify the programmed LEDs flash correctly
6. Then acquires a 3D fix in Paparazzi GCS using a direct serial uplink from the autopilot to the GCS

Please eMail 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.
