Nick, sounds good!
I preorder one :-)
Hi Thorsten,
The ESP-01 ( normal one ) works just fine. Btw, we'll design out own ESP module with hardware flow control, based on ESP-06

Hi Nick and Phillip,
I just had a look at the ESP8266 modules. There is the normal one and a shielded version which is (potentially) FCC and CE certified. The shielded version does not fit to the PixRacers pins directly but there should be lower interference - or? Are there any other differences so that the shielded version can't be used?
Thanks and best regards,
Thorsten
Hi guys,
Unfortunately the first regular batch will be delayed because of the cable sets delay. I hope we'll receive the cables around Jan 4-5th. Currently, the boards tests are in progress. Will keep you informed.
Best regards and Happy New Year !
Swift - We should have stock on tomorrow the 28th. We need to perform our internal testing and QC. We expect to begin shipping pre-orders this week.
Para - There was lots of discussion on this. I need to confirm, but will report back soon.
Need small OSD? get a Micro MinimOSD or OSDoge and use FrSky telemetry with the X4R-SB or trusty D4R-II receivers
Interesting.
Do you have any plan for smaller GPS receiver and smaller OSD for XRacer so we can use it with smaller airplanes as well?
Which method do you recommend for it's vibration dampening?
Beta testing and confirmation took slightly longer than expected. We were really thorough. Baring any major complications, all pre-orders should ship this month. Thank you again for the support.
Phil
Nico,
I have flown both PX4 master and Arducoptor. The Arducoptor was built by Tridge. I am not sure if the binaries are included in the current binaries offered by Mission Planner. Do you have a Pixracer?
