[McHUG] PICetSat II Module Progress

[Pat Kilroy]

Hello HUGgers,

Just posting a short report to say that we 
have had our stumbling blocks in developing 
the PICetSat II module.  My interns, Kirby 
and Russell, will be leaving in a couple 
weeks and we have a lot of work cut out 
for us.  

I gave a presentation at the last CCARC 
meeting regarding the history of the 
PICetSat balloon experiments and a status 
on the latest new developments.  I 
receive some highly valuable 
recommendations then and since.  

With the help of Steve N3SB we got the xmtr 
module singing loudly and the PICAXE-28x1 
avoiding incompatibilities (by design) with 
the TX433B.  

With the help of Gary WA9ZZZ we found a 
nice new regulator module to power 
everything.  More details later.  Lot's 
more to do.  

Lookin' towards a fun flyin' summer!

Cheers,

Pat
