That is a great job Ron!

Due to the tight space, I didn't attempt to set my Pixie MK 1 up as a stand alone TX, but installed the version of Phil's module that allows it to be used as a SC buddy box plugged into a JR/Spektrum radio.

Note - I positioned a better quality micro switch to give a much better feel to the button.

In case (?) anyone is about to make a Pixie enclosure, I've just modded the case to accept a 20mm brass M3 hex standoff at Ron's suggestion. The thread was stripping out after some minor use. There's now a c'sk 3mm hole in the case rear to accept a c'sk M3 screw - still a bit of a post inside to offer some support.
The back has also been modified with 'MADE IN JAPAN' text :-)
Back available as 'new pixie case back' at the above thingiverse address.

If so, scan it and mail me the details please.

Hi Ron

Can you put me down for a set of stickers please?

There's no rush as I'm on holiday at the moment, in fact not too far from you. We're renting a cottage near Pickering and yesterday when we visited Whitby I saw signs for Guisborough,

Cheers

Hi Mike

Yes no problem, I’ll knock you a set up.
I was in Whitby on Saturday, well passed through it on the way to Scarborough.
Nice indoor flea market in Pickering.

Just to finish the set off,
How about a RX pack and receiver to match.

I think one of us need to 3D print you a Pixie Rx case in translucent white, then fit a FrSky V8R4-II or a D4R-II inside (both should fit OK). It would really look the part then :D
