Picked up the GM862 for 20 notes [20:42] hey rjharrison [20:42] coolio [20:42] will need some form of breakout board [20:42] Need to get a break [20:42] You beat me to it [20:43] I see sparkfun do them I may place an order for one and an antennea [20:43] antenna [20:44] robosavvy sell the spark fun ones as well [20:44] save on p&p as tehy are in the uk [20:44] Oh I'll have a look [20:44] Do you have an antenna [20:44] yup [20:46] ouch the breakout cost more than the module [20:47] Still better than sparkfun [20:47] :-0 [20:56] edmoore (n=edmoore@pomegranate.chu.cam.ac.uk) left irc: [21:05] jcoxon how do you get 3.8v for the gm862 [21:06] linear regulator? [21:06] direct lipo :-) [21:06] they are designed to run off them [21:07] Ohh I'll have a look for one. No wonder you were so heavy :-P [21:08] what! [21:08] 3.7v Lipo cells are light [21:08] ok I'm having a look :) [21:10] the camera was what made me heavy [21:10] http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8483 [21:10] 36g! [21:11] Ok I stand corrected [21:11] they are light [21:11] Good for 4hrs I'm sure [21:12] i didn't strip down the powershot with its 4AAs - that added a hell of a lot of weight [21:13] The a560 only has 2aa's so that would have saved me a bit [21:13] indeed but a560s don't do remote capture [21:15] I'm going to place with sparkfun I think as I need both battery, brakeout and antenna [21:16] the breakout is quite big which is a shame [21:17] you getting the 50pin? as you'll need to do some level conversion [21:18] Yep I think so. I thought I could get away with 3.3v cmos [21:19] yeah, that'll be fine [21:19] borism (n=boris@195-50-200-2-dsl.krw.estpak.ee) joined #highaltitude. [21:19] is your AVR 3.3v?

[21:32] Looking, can't see it in the atmega8 pdf [21:33] rjharrison, it will be the same as whatever voltage you are powering the chip with [21:33] are you running it straight from the battery, or with a regulator? [21:34] will regulate it to 3.3 [21:34] To be fair the current beacon is on 5.5v at the moment [21:35] The lassen iq is going to be on 3.3v if i remember correctly [21:35] ok, that will be fine then, you can directly connect 3.3v logic to the gm862 im pretty sure [21:35] yeah the lassen is 3.3 [21:35] That's my thoughts. So they will all be happy then [21:36] should be [21:36] avr + iq + gm862 [21:36] This is beacon mk2 [21:36] oh cool [21:36] fnoble, are there any nova launches in the near future? [21:36] jcoxon, there should be one soon i hope [21:37] though logomatic v2 might have a hump.
