CubeSatSim 1.3

[N2OA]

I'm interesting in building a few of the new CubeSatSim's. Any news on when the boards will be available? Maybe a more important question, is there an alternate supplier of the radio module? The supplier listed is taking a break. https://www.tindie.com/products/sunrise/sr_0w5u-two-way-radio-module05w400m-480m/

Hi Dave,

The v1.3.2 Beta is very close to being available. I have updated the alias https://CubeSatSim.org/bom-beta to point to the latest BOM. in the SMT Parts tab you will see an alternative supplier.

Hi Alan,

This is a little off the subject. But it looks like the options for SMT vs. through-hole board are in reverse on the BOM. The one that says WITHOUT SMT is priced $49 but is grouped with the list of parts and is marked "various" for suppliers. While the one marked WITH SMT is listed at $10 and marked with "AMSAT" as the supplier. It seems opposite of what it should be.

Thank you Alan. I replied to your email a few days ago. Just wanted to make sure it didn't end up in the spam folder.
