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.

And again, what are FrSky in/out pins for !? SPort ? :)

It's running MinimOSD-extra like other MinimOSD hardware.

Was thinking about this one

No idea what software the OSD is running however.

Need small OSD? get a Micro MinimOSD or OSDoge and use FrSky telemetry with the X4R-SB or trusty D4R-II receivers

The 3rd OSD/Telemetry layer would be a great idea if joined to AlceOSD project.
