[Paparazzi-devel] Introduction to the Elle0 Autopilot

[Piotr Esden-Tempski]

Dear Paparazzians,

I have great news to share with you all. After long time in the works the Elle0 autopilot and G0 GPS receiver are finally in stock and available for purchase. Also the R0 sub GHz radio receiver and UU0 USB to UART converters are available for Pre-Order on our 1BitSquared store. (http://1bitsquared.com) Soon we will have them all available on the German 1BitSquared store too. (http://1bitsquared.de)

For that occasion I have recorded an introduction video to the Elle0 Autopilot system. In the video I go through and describe every IO pin as well as some of the design differences to the Lisa/MX Autopilot. Additionally, I describe how you can add a battery voltage monitor to your Elle0 using a voltage divider circuit.

I hope this video is helpful. If you think so too please let me know in the YouTube comments. I am planning to make many more videos describing different aspects of Paparazzi UAV, not only hardware but also flight videos and Paparazzi software tutorials and tips. If you think it will be useful for you make sure to subscribe and tell me in the comments what you would like to see.

I am very happy to be part of this community here and be able to provide new affordable, flexible and powerful hardware designed specifically for the Paparazzi UAV platform. Let me know if you have any questions I am happy to answer them.

Cheers,

Piotr Esden-Tempski
