AttoPilot XYZ Horizon Sensors Available!

Posted by Jordi Muñoz on September 18, 2009 at 12:00pm
Hello, for those waiting for the XYZ now is the time! I stock some units yesterday and they are almost sold out but i will add more this weekend.Sorry i had to increase the price, the stock market for those IR sensor is low and i was unable to get them with the same price as before, actually the price increase of each sensor was just like 2.10 dlls, but that's enough to increase price up to 13 bucks per unit! DAMN! Otherwise everybody will have to wait undefined time.http://store.diydrones.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=SE-0002-01

    @Gary, you must have noticed the age of this thread. It s not the current state of the tech.

    Is FMA the only option now for horizon sensing?  

    Thanks

    FMA is watching this space closely. If RangeVideo isn't paying the royalty, they will definitely be sued. That will bring their price up!

    Also i don't know if range video is paying the patent. I guess they are making a huge amount of them... In some point i will have to stop selling this sensors. The real price i suppose to sell them in order to generate enough earnings and also have a nice re-seller price is about $132.6...

    Yes, you have to buy them in 1K lots from Digikey,

    Isn't rangevideo.com supposedly offering xyz sensors in October for less than $80??

    From there website -
    "IR sensors are in production now. Will go on sale beginning of October 09 . They will include the connecting cables. Price will be under 80 USD for XY and Z sensor."

    I wonder if they get them from another supplier or they must buy them in lots of 1k or more to get the price discount??

    5 dlls if we buy more than 1k, but we don't have founds, also you must add the TAX..
