NOW: Pololu Sale

erco

Oops, I just checked, their sale started midnite WEDNESDAY, not midnight tonight, so it's a Thanksgiving day sale, not Black Friday.

Those Dorks messed everything up.

Still good stuff left, I just got a 3pi and Wixels.

Now GIT! http://www.pololu.com/blackfriday2012

That's a screaming deal on Wixels. I'm going to pick up some more Wixels and one of their fancy pants voltage regulators.

Will those wixels be able to be used as radio beacons using RSSI?

Don't know. I use them for point to point wireless serial links. They have about a 50 foot range and can wireless program a Propeller chip.

I have a plan to get them working with a BS2, but it is back burnered at the moment. You can definitely use them as a wireless serial debug link off the shelf with any mcu.

It appears that RSSI is available according to this: https://github.com/pololu/wixel-sdk/blob/master/apps/radio_sniffer/radio_sniffer.c//

These are cool! Simple to use, I'm grabbing 4 for fun.

Grabbed the Ardunio kit ones. Look like the best deal.

Wondering if I got another set and could make a repeater sort of a setup to stretch the distance. Hum... Love BF shopping in my slippers!

Put my order in last night and it has already shipped. I wonder how long it will take until I get around to trying out the Wixels...
