Our Items
- Tiny1.3 Autopilot
- Tiny2.11 Autopilot
- TWOG Autopilot
- PPM Decoder Board
- Paparazzi design external GPS units
- RF modems
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: Tiny2.11 Bundle <--has GPS and antenna on the main board
Modular (TWOG) bundle: 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:
- We load the bootloader
- configure the GPS module (LEA-5H Tiny2.11 we also update the GPS Firmware to the latest from u-blox)
- We load a sample tiny2.11 program into it.
- We verify it runs the program (LED1/RED flashes)
- Then acquires a 3D fix (LED2/GREEN flashes)
Our goal is we test and get it ready for you to program before you receive it. Freeing you to focus on learning paparazzi.
