Re: [Paparazzi-devel] HB-Autopilot omnibus order

[Thomas Würfl]

Hi Poine,

thanks for your comments.

- there is GPL software available (which was originaly developed on a 
tiny13, acc. to the documentation, which is unfortunately written in 
german), that runs on the hb autopilot an it should not be a major task 
to merge the appropriate part back into paparazzi main tree if somebody 
feels dedicated to do so.
- the are several version of the Maxim A/D. As far as I can see there 
are still compatible versions marked as "active" at the vendor site.
The only part that seems debricated is the KMZ51 magneto sensor. But 
there are still enough remainder at several distributors for 10++ 
pilots. Also it should not be to difficult to replace them by a Honywell 
HMC5843 and hook it to the I2C bus. I just don't want to change a 
running system as long as I can avoid it.

Regards,
Thomas
