"ANother thing that happens is that unless you have some aluminum or kapton tape over the area you will probably blow the tiny caps and resistors off the PCB. And believe me, once they are gone, you are in a fix. Get a nice close up photo of this…"
" @ Paul N Braida M.E, yes you can swap out from another APM, and I have done the surgery. But you must have a hotair rework tool. And it is rather fiddely to be certain. The compass may be purchased new from Ebay in multiples of 5 for less than one…"
"Best thread out there is the one at RCGroups Try to source some info there.
Problem with swapping out to a standard sized BGC, like the BaseCam/Alexmos or other, is the form factor of the Tarot 2D's mounting platform, but it might be done, and then…"

"Just throwing this into the mix here and I apologize if it is not the correct forum gents, but there is little time left to take advantage of this great offering. I thought it my duty to bring to your attention this invention from a German group of…"
"Took two and a half months for Newark Element14 to ship for what ever reason, but yeah, great little boxes! I have the 915Mhz radio set from RCTimer and I have a near fit on the ground radio, much like the above photos. Just taking the heat shrink…"
"@ RCTech,... So you are saying that buying RTFHawk will inevitably mean fiddling? That the only way of going Pixhawk is by way of 3DR? How much fiddling around are you talking about?
Also in reference to swapping the components over to the APM 2.5,…"

"How timely :-) I was going to purchase the RTFHawk and didn't realize the broad assumptions I would be making . I have had trouble with a RCTimer APM 2.5.2.; it took the replacement of some parts and countermeasures to repair deficiencies.I was the…"
"DOn't worry guys and girls. THere has been so much written about this, I am surprised I ddidn't trip on the stacks of inquiries on the way in. Got my answer. It is the TPS79133DBVR by Texas Instruments. THe 3.3VDC 100mA Voltage regulator that is…"
"If it won't come alive with the USB or PM plugged in, I don't see how placing a load on it will help. But thanks for the suggestion mP1. It doesn't have any effect. If what I am seeing is correct, there is nothing to boot from. So no wonder there is…"
During an attempted Compass Dance, I was trying to get a good distance from my laptop during a Compass Calibration while I was reinstalling my APM 2.5 in its frame after changing out the method of powering. I had just allowed an update Mission…
"Where did you order the ST810 from and did you get a half decent price? I am not aware of the supplier that ships out of Port Angeles. Driven through though... I am hovering over the 680mm Tarot (Pun intended) but it won't be coming from HK USA.…"
"12" or better separation is good, both vertical and horizontal. You can use aluminum tape or copper tape or electronics project PCB with the single or double sided copper coating board undeneath the pod or module,.... mount it higher than carbon…"
"Not to worry Ken,
it will arrive in spite of the lack of being able to track the item. I just went through the same scenario with them and I simply stopped trying to track the item. In the end the package arrived in relatively short order. A friend…"

"That is also my dilemma, I don't trust the figures that are coming from the multi pin or the solder pads on the back. "
"Thanks for your inquiry, I just hope that this is the correct thread to continue here on this topic. Don't want to ruffle anyones feathers. I would however like to be informed immediately the correct thread to post this on if I am in error.
So to…"

"Thanks I have already sorted it out, and what thread would you suggest as you whisk me away?
You are talking about the the very item I am referring to. The Ebay type "APM 2.5 V-I module" that people are mistakenly purchasing. Better to make the…"
