Revision as of 08:24, 14 February 2008
The Paparazzi project began in 2003 with the goal of creating a free and open-source UAV guidance system which could be easily adapted to a wide variety of aircraft for a wide variety of applications. The system has since proved to be extremely successful and Paparazzi-based aircraft have won all top positions in every flight contest in which they competed.
As an open-source project, all source code and hardware plans are freely available on the internet for anyone to produce, use, modify, and redistribute in accordance with the GPL License Agreement which requires only that the open-source nature of the project be maintained by all who redistribute it.
Paparazzi is currently being developed by several universities and a team of enthusiast volunteers from around the world. It is used by private corporations, universities and hobbyists for an ever-increasing number of applications.
One of the greatest challenges facing newcomers to the project has always been the fabrication of the airborne hardware - so with the rapidly increasing number of users and hardware requests, the team now feels the need for commercially-produced hardware to be made available at minimal cost to the public. Therefore this announcement has two purposes:
- To find a company interested and capable of manufacturing and distributing the Paparazzi hardware.
- To collect a list of committed buyers so that we may accurately predict the required manufacturing and sales volumes.
We ask all interested parties to add your name and hardware request to the list below by editing this page
USA Based
OneFastDaddy Website: http://www.onefastdaddy.com/catalog/ is a Paparazzi Project Member (onefastdaddy on IRC) who has made available Paparazzi PCBs. What's on that webstore is what I have available. You have to register but it takes just a minute and Payment is PayPal only to keep things simple. I'm sampling Assmbled Tiny2.11 now from the same people doing the PCBs. Like everything else I will put them on the Website when I confirm the samples were assembled correctly.
What's avail. on the Website Now (everything listed is in stock ready to ship USPS worldwide)
- Tiny2.11 bare PCB (2-layer)
- Tiny1.3 bare PCB (4-layer)
- GPS board bare PCB for Classix/Tiny2.11 (4-layer)
- IR Dual Axis bare PCB (2-layer)
Want to have them FAB like I did?
I found that I was unable to find a vendor for the Tiny1.3 boards so I googled around and found http://www.myropcb.com MYROPCB. They are in Canada and outsource to China who drop-ships them when the order is completed. They have a form online to get instant quotes and I have made 4 orders now and am quite happy. So if you need more than 10 it becomes cost effective and you may want to consider going that route as I did.
Also feel free to email me directly with any questions about the process I just explained or ?.
UK Based
