Hi,
I'm using an XBee pro and some self-developped board to see where my plane if flying.
Instead I'd like to have some ready-made boards that everybody can easily use. I'm thinking of the following set:
- 1x FTDI cable or FTDI board (http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/produc ... ts_id=9115 + mini-USB cable)
- 2x XBee regulated http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/produc ... ts_id=9132, one for on the ground and one for in the plane. The one on the ground is connectable through the FTDI cable
This packet 2x 7.57€ + 13.65€ = 28.57€ + 2 XBee modules (28.86€ * 2 = 57.72€). Would give you everything you need (except from the Gluon board and a GPS module).
For the GPS module I'm still doubting whether the stock the standard LS20031 or the better ubox5+helical antenna (http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/produc ... ts_id=9566)
What do you guys think?
