The parts are here!

The blimpduino parts arrived today.

There is a assembled board with the servo driven vectored differential thurst module. There is a balloon envelope with foam fins. A pololu IRB02A IR beacon. A max sonar EZ1.

To do:

• Look up the interface to program the arduino on board(In the blimp duino docs)
• Does the arduino need need a ttl interface or is the inverter already board?
• How to mount the ultrasonic sensor on the board?
• What does the program loaded on the arduino by default do?
• Find a link to the source for the program and post it here.
• What is the RC protocol that is used?
• Is it supported by the board?
• How to mount all of this stuff on the blimp? (Look at the instructions)

The RC gear we are using encodes all of the channels on a single line (easy for microprocessors)
