Risk of no Snoopy 2024 Trans-Atlantic Attempt due to no spare Picaxe 28X2 Autopilots

Hi Guys. I've just posted this on other forums, and I hope the links will work, since this is the most relevant forum ...

Hi Guys. I've just put an important update to Snoopy's "Blog11" on http://www.gpss.co.uk/rbblog11.htm and for those who don't monitor it, or find it too long to scroll through, I'll put an extract here >>>

No change for that need for help finding a GPS Logger and servo stall current protection ! BUT, perhaps most important of all, need for working spares of the Picaxe28X2 based autopilot, while Revolution Education is still active and trading: hopefully for years. Maybe Snoopy will not make a 2024 Attempt, due to these delays. Robin's friends, and most of us, have more important things to do ;-)

I've offered to pay for a built and tested autopilot for some time, after failing to get my badly built spare cards working, and none of my local friends are capable and/or interested - unlike 10 or 15 years ago ;-)

Perhaps my best bet is to get local school kids interested, through their mums, dads, and grandparents, that I meet in our local cafes and Sunninghill Comrades Club ? :-)

These following links are relevant:
http://www.gpss.co.uk/contact.htm - track me on that black SOS tracker - probably in our village ;-)
http://www.gpss.co.uk/robinscv.htm - I'm losing count of how many times I'm told how to suck eggs.

The best advice can come from children, but best from someone who has actually done it ;-)

Here's hoping for some practical help - many thanks to those that have provided it :-)
