| Notes: | The current setup, as tested, uses N-Femal panel mounts, requiring N-Male cable connectors on the antennas. | |||||
| If you wish to use other antenna connector styles (FME, etc.) you need to purchase the right adapters or different pigtails | ||||||
| N-Female was chosen due to easy acquisition and wide standards acceptance. The downside is that it's a rather large connector. | ||||||
| The GPS setup can use any NMEA serial GPS with the USB-to-Serial adapter. Be sure it exports GGA sentences at the least. | ||||||
| Alternatively (and untested) you could use a direct USB GPS system such as the Garmin GPS18-USB and skip the USB-Serial part. | ||||||
| The webcam is a standalone system. Many other types of wired, wireless or baseband cameras could be used. | ||||||
| It has no real relation to the Stompbox itself other than some preconfigured scripts I set up for the project. | ||||||
| You can use the USB to PCMCIA adapter of your choice, be it 1.1 or 2.0. Just make sure it's Linux compatible. Most are. | ||||||
