Everything is in the open. \n\nThe justification for a possible IHU redesign is based on three issues:\n1) the present problems with the P3E IHU-3 boards,\n2) a desire to move to an open source core so that we can redesign the\nregisters to achieve better radiation resistance, and \n3) to move toward an open source operating system like a real time Linux\nvariant, for example.\n\nRight now these are just discussions but I think there is enough\njustification in them to suggest we not spend time and money creating a\nspecial package for the current board just jet. This is just my opinion, not\nan edict.\n\nRick\nW2GPS\nAMSAT LM2232\n \n-----Original Message-----\nFrom: Chuck Green [mailto:[email protected]] \nSent: Tuesday, October 16, 2007 11:38 AM\nTo: Rick Hambly (W2GPS)\nCc: 'AMSAT Eagle'; 'Dick Jansson-rr'\nSubject: Re: [eagle] Re: Revised Module Suggestion\n\nHi Rick,\n\nThat's news to me.  What is this secret group you called \"We\" and when \ndo they intend to include the rest of the Eagle community?  Also, where \nshould I ship the parts that were purchased for the IHU?  The developers \nof this new IHU may be able to use some of them.\n\nChuck\n\nRick Hambly (W2GPS) wrote:\n> Chuck,\n>\n> I think there is a good chance that the IHU will be redesigned for Eagle.\nWe\n> are discussing some important changes like switching to an open core\ninstead\n> of the ARM core, changing the oscillator design, and other improvements.\nIf\n> that is done it will be a modest leap to a new board size.\n>\n> Rick\n> W2GPS\n> AMSAT LM2232\n>  \n>\n> -----Original Message-----\n> From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf\nOf\n> Chuck Green\n> Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2007 11:15 AM\n> To: Dick Jansson-rr\n> Cc: 'AMSAT Eagle'\n> Subject: [eagle] Re: Revised Module Suggestion\n>\n> Hi Dick,\n>\n> When considering special needs, don't forget that the IHU has already \n> been designed and will need a box to accommodate it.
