Yep, i mostely use their stuff. LAIPAC do also some GPS stuff. Prices are good, product are good, service is... close to be good too.

Some LINXS module are great too, a bit more expensive but are also great. Available from Digikey and many other place. LAIPAC stuff... on LAIPAC website only. Well they probably don't built those stuff themself anyway, just a distributor like others IMHO. BUT i really suggest them to everybody here who want to buy cheap and great RF modules.

cheers!

I was intially under the impression that they do the design themselves, because they have 50 employess and offices in toronto canada and in eroupe. Since I am in toronto I picked the stuff up form their office and I did not get the impression they have the capacity to design anything. If you guys order anything, make sure you know exactly what to order, the sales guys know squat, they will just say yes to everything.

Also their datasheets are just 1 page, it acutally reminds me of the labs reports I used to do, full of spelling errors and only talk about the obvious.

This company is definitely oinly for those who know exactly what they want.

If they just resell stuff then I wonder why they have 50 employess, maybe their offices in Europe do the design and the toronto office is in charge of proofreading their datasheets.

Toalan,

Have you had time to work with the Laipac 2.4Ghz modules? I have been having some problems getting them to work. I use PBP and have been trying to use the SHIFTIN and SHIFTOUT PBP functions.

Have you had any luck with I2C?

Can you let me know what functions you used? I2C, SPI, SHIFTIN/SHIFTOUT

Thanks in advance, Scott

Sorry I have not had the time to play with them yet, it will be a few months until I will play with them. If you make any progress please keep me posted.

Sparkfun.com sells alot of the Laipac products, along with the mating connectors(important). THe RF-24 G is a shiftin protocol MSB first. There are some examples on the Sparkfun for using a PIC. The units work, but at 2.4 gig, they do not penetrate walls well. I guess there is a 900 MHz version that will get far superior range. Hope this helps...
