We will be ready to do the group buy for the Ardusimple Micro F9P modules in the next day or so.
Ardusimple will supply a promotion code for each individual who wants to buy. I am waiting on the specifics before we get started.
After we order, Ardusimple will wait until we reach the 50 pc goal before they process our orders.
PLEASE KEEP CHECKING THIS POST DAILY FOR UPDATES
The retail price has gone up, but Ardusimple has honored our original bulk price of $167.00 ea.
There is one pcb that uses the original standard size F9P and one pcb for the Micro F9P.
We did this so those who already have their F9P don’t have to switch.
Both boards use the same components other than the GPS module
I checked with Ardusimple, and they said we can use the code to buy ANN_MB antennas on the same purchase as our Micro’s.
When you send your email, please state how many Micros and how many antennas you want, and we can do a quick tally to know where we are before I forward the email addresses.
Are the Survey antennas worth it over the ANN-MB? The ANN-MB are a bit less visible (and thus attractive to thieves of course). Friend changed ANN-MB to Survey at his base station and it didn’t make too much of a difference, for what that’s worth…
I have responded to every e-mail I have received. If you didn’t receive a response, please let me know.
I will try to keep sending responses as they come.
We will wait until tomorrow about this time to send the emails to Ardusimple.
Regarding the Teensyduino, you will also need Arduino IDE 1.8 (and it can be installed alongside v2.0, you can have both) - I found when I tried to upload the INO using the latest V2.x version, the Teensy4.1 would go into some sort of loop afterwards, like it was rebooting continuously or something. Not a full USB disconnect, but a ping and then it would restart. As soon as I used 1.8 instead, the problem went away. Sure enough, it says 1.8 required there, but I missed that at the time
Ardusimple contacted me and said that many are asking about a discount for the standard large F9P module.
There is no discount for the large module. This code is only good for the small Micro F9P and the ANN-MB antenna
I have asked if it is possible to order the large module at regular cost on this order for those who want to make a base station. I will post the answer when I recieve it.
Thanks,
Jake
