Unfortunately, we've exhausted our supply of Pings and the manufacturer can't make any more. We don't even have one here in the office for testing with.

"......the manufacturer can't make any more..."

 

Just curious: Anyone have idea why not?

Hummm.

Anyone know anything about this one  https://uavionix.com/products/pingusb/  or other low cost options that might fill the nitch Ping was fitting into?

Because they are being sued by Garmin for patent infringement.

I believe the Ping was based on some drone hardware uAvionix doesn't make anymore, but that all happened before my time so I may be misinformed. They just now ran out because we exhausted our backstock, we had a bucket of them when I started a year ago.

Tim... don't make me get the hammer.
