Fred,
How is the build coming up? Are you going to post your progress here? I would like see it!!
I saw that on may of the german forums, people use the type of brass gears that you use. What is your source for the gears and the motors? Do you know whether they ship to US? Here, I haven't found any source for small brass gears so far.
My Allegro Stepper motor driver samples have arrived. They sent me 4 of those, and they are really small. I don't know how I will be able to solder them on to the PCB. If I fail to come up with a way to solder them, I might glue them upside down, and try to connect the pins to the PCB traces with copper wire.
I also made some progress regarding my IR system. I have identified the IR receiver module and the LED that I need to use, and verified that they both work properly. I also made a plastic enclosure that attaches to my radio, in the place where the antenna normally is attached. Now, I need to make a cable to access power and PPM signal from the trasmitter. That way, I can switch between the IR and RF module without any difficulty.
-Kalkura.
