I've assembeled one of the 10 cards I received, which is prettty straight forward. I had some problems with a batch of LM317 voltage regulators. The pads on the component was oxidised, so I had to sand down the terminals! Better order some new ones, together with some atmega8 chips, as I'm running out fast with all these projects.
By the way, the atmega8 is nowhere near powerfull enough to do the full attitude computations. The atmega8 will do data gathering and send it to the usart port in raw ascii. Incidently, I forgot to include ground on the usart header! I guess I was thinking of the stk500/600 cards.
That's it for now. I will start looking for a programming language that supports usart under w7-64, no easy task...
