PhantomX using a Teensy 3.1

[KurtEck]

You are welcome. Now I just hope they work

[Zenta]

Hopefully they will. Did you see my question about the resistors?

[KurtEck]

Thanks for sharing Kurt!

A question; what's the R11 and R12? NC value? Looking at your schematic they are simple pull-up for A4 and A5. Is there a reason for no value or are they optional?

Oops sorry, I missed this one. Yep these are optional PU resistors for I2C. Was not sure what you might need or not, so I don't install them by default. Also was not sure if there are internal ones I can enable and if so would they be sufficient...

[Zenta]

Ok, I see. No problem then. Thanks.
Btw. Did you find a solution for fixing the PhantomX bodyplate or are you waiting for a new?

Just ordered one batch of 3 boards and 3 Teensy3.1 all purple form OSH park. It was a bit strange that I couldn't order both the Teensy board and the PCB board on the same order. X-ing fingers for free shipment of the boards to Norway, lol. Next step is to order parts from DigiKey.

I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for the boards from OSH Park. They are apparently really good for people living in the US. I live in Canada, and it took 5 weeks to get the boards I ordered from them. The shipping took just over 3 weeks of that total time. The manufacturing took 2 weeks because I ordered them over Christmas.

Thanks for the heads up Jon. I'm in no hurry though, if I get the boards late next month I'm hopefully done with the MorpHex MKII and ready for some new projects using the Teensy. Next time I'll probably test the SeedStudio too.

I was curious about the timings for the two of them, so I ordered from both. The OSH Park ones which I ordered about a day earlier arrived here about 3 days before the ones from Seeedstudio. But for me shipping is quick from OSHPark as I only live one state away...

Forgot to mention, I now have my Teensy version of the Phantom Phoenix at least stumbling along on the Quad. Have not put it on the ground yet to see how well...

Body parts for Hex were shipped yesterday, so they should arrive next week. It is actually sort of interesting that shipping parts from China to Washington State takes only a few days longer than it does from Illinois. Not sure why, but ordered an Open CM9... so may have more stuff to figure out what to do with.

I can't say I'm shocked by this statement....

That's good news!

Due to the warnings from Jon yesterday, I've just ordered a batch of boards from SeedStudio. Pretty cheap, 30,75$ for 5 green boards to Norway.

LOL, I had a feeling you would try that too..
