Mikrokopter Which Telemetry???

[Pjtyros]

Hi, what are you using for your telemetry connection with the MK tools? I am thinking of the Xbee. It is about £90 in the UK but I am unsure of the setup. MK US sell the kit ready to go for $225 plus shipping. Your views guys, I am not looking for vast distance but I would like to set waypoints in the air.
Thanks
Paul

Xbee 2.4 pro , and Dave Droider uses Bluetooth but you need to be very good at soldering or buy one pre made up. Still think the XBee Pro is best bet.

Paul.. contact Geoff at QC uk I am sure he will sort you out with an Xbee

Thanks Geof and Dave, Yes the Xbee looks to be the best but since I last spoke to you Geoff I call coolcomponents and they only sell the kit pre paired and not the others. So would it be better to buy the kit that has been paired, this one:

or buy the bits and try and get my head around the pairing?
Also in the MK wikki it says it is best to use 2 of the Xbee explorer usb's because it works better with the MK, so at the moment I am confused as to what I should get.
Thanks

Geoff has got his head round it and I have seen his RTF units with them fitted.. I would have thought he would be supplying them ready to go..
