Once I get the basic capability in place, I'll switch to something else as I only have the low power 2.4GHz version now.<br /><br />Ted (another AVC competitor) suggested looking at a Synapse which is Xbee-like module that has an embedded Python interpreter.<br /><br />Still another option I'm thinking about is XBee Wifi.Mike Shimniokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17602015624941667574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983110881018172452.post-75424241768450914922013-02-18T16:39:29.034-07:002013-02-18T16:39:29.034-07:00Forgot to say: The XRF have the same pinout as the...Forgot to say: The XRF have the same pinout as the XBee, so you can use the same shields, adapters and even libs to communicate with it. Also its programmable and can proccess some stuff if you need. I have one pair, having so much fun driving my r/c heli (prototype) from the PC with a playstation joystick.Julianno Junglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06596081905251550455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983110881018172452.post-47444547777117524492013-02-14T15:42:06.460-07:002013-02-14T15:42:06.460-07:00Hey, Michael!

But why not use a XRF from Ciseco (http://shop.ciseco.co.uk/xrf-wireless-rf-radio-uart-rs232-serial-data-module-xbee-shape-arduino-pic-etc/)? You can attach an external antenna, the range will be increased a lot.<br />Good luck on AVC!Julianno Junglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06596081905251550455noreply@blogger.com
