Bruh, we designed this in 2019 for our capstone project @LSU. Glad to see someone else picked it up and understands how crazy this technology really is. We gave the PI with our 4G modem camera a cloud server ip to receive mav link protocols to run the autonomous commands.
I know I am late to this video but, there is a program to simplify connecting to raspberry pi. It is called tailscale. It is lightweight for the pi, very easy to use and you don't need to do anything with the ports or the public IPs, it does everything for you and gives you it's own IP which you can connect to from anywhere in the world even if you're behind a NAT. The documentation behind tailscale is pretty solid and I have been using it for a long time now. Never disappointed yet. It is also free for basic use. This may help you create a new video (also requesting one) where you can control the drone as well as get footage back (as the prepaid unlimited plans are very cheap). A fun experiment to try if you're up for it.
Also, after thinking about this a bit, it might be good to add a conformal coating to the Pi and any exposed electronics. Humidity can be an issue for some PCB/SBCs, and flying beyond-line-of-sight, it would be good to take that off of Murphy’s table so to speak.
Dude, your videos are incredible... The possibilities are endless! You could also strap an old phone on the drone sharing the wifi, I think it would be easier. Imagine putting solar cells on the drone and letting it recharge by itself while it's miles away 😯
Parrot drone (you know the early prototype quad copter guys), have made a cell tower version of their drone called an ANAFI UAV. It's cool to see people doing this. Truly powerful to allow self driving vehicles to connect to cell towers for long distance recon.
Absolutely awesome and detailed vid bud! I specifically appreciate people like you who are detailed oriented and put up or shut up. You take your time to explain things knowing not everyone (including myself) know shit about drones or are all but babies at it. Man I am working hard and spending money to become good like you at this. I am a DevOps and Linux engineer by trade and love to see you scripting. Nice… very nice bro! Can I buy this stuff? And where and what do I need to get this very same kit? Thanks
Glad you found the video useful John! Funny, you''re a DevOps engineer by trade. Before drones I was a DevOps engineer too! I think us DevOps guys are DIY learning machines, so you'll definitely be able to absorb this drone stuff. We have drone kits with the exact same parts shown in this video. If you go to my website dojofordrones.com and click on Drone Kit at the top menu it will take you there. Shoot me an email at caleberg@dojofordrones.com if you have any questions about anything!
Thank you for putting together an easy to follow guide for such a technical project. You must have spent a ton of time and effort prepping but man it really payed off in the final product. I never felt lost along the way and your delivery was very entertaining 10/10 !
(Just as the tutorial ends a mysterious man enters the room, slowly clapping) "Impressive… but we know you have been holding something back from the very beginning. Well we’ve waited long enough!. No more games, no more feigning ignorance… It is time to reveal the Pihawks true purpose!…" (pause for dramatic effect) "Low Latency, High Fidelity, Digital FPV!!!!" (cut to black, fade in title card) " Pihawk Trilogy Part 3 - The SPihawk Initiative " "COMING SOON, straight to VHS" …But seriously an FPV tutorial would be bad ass, don’t leave us hanging bro…🙏🏻
As a Ukrainian drone operator, your videos have been an incredible help in assisting me in numerous kills and I would like to extend much gratitude to you and your collection of videos on everything drone related. Just kidding, I’m just an American hobbyist fucking around. Love your work though!
I'm thinking about to make drone working on 150-200 MHz, so I can make a repeater somewhere and rule the drone from the far. The video quality is not in priority, but the safety of pilot to stay far from the radio-source. Your videos helped me to have a progress in making plane-drone. Now, some problems to solve and make this more massive for our guys.
This is just soooo good. Massive kudos to you for such an amazingly useful project and with all the detail one could want. I'm trying to move up a pretty steep learning curve at the moment with both hardware and software, and this is one of the things on my todo list. Now easily solvable! :)
You need to invent a way to have a drone automatically land on a device that does a battery swap and takes the existing battery and charges it for the next drone … and put it on a rooftop. You can then put them on a map and program logic to automatically fetch a battery as needed and return to flight. Then you can program a cross-country flight (I.e. New York to California). Just figure you might need it to land every 25 miles then it would need maybe 100 battery swaps cross-country. If these were automated taking 3 minutes then only 5 hours is spent refueling. The remainder of the time it could maintain maybe 40 MPH. That would make it a three day trip.
Interesting thought. I've been developing a charging post system that the machine flys to as waypoints.. on arrival it it either plugs itself in or sits on a charging pad. Right now the technique to locate and attach to the charge station and the method of securing it in place on a pad are still hush hush. But as folks get up to speed hopefully they (you) will build on the idea of waypoint charging.
Projects like THIS are the reason I applied for BVLOS drone pilot license. This is amazing! Great video and really enjoyable to watch! Keep up the good work!
@@sfh294 it was pretty straightforward. Enlisted, took a pretty simple test (mostly legislation related) and then I got the license. And a couple of job offers with it :))
nice tut, good balance between tech details and range of subject covered. there seems to be many available solution now to get embedded 4G connectivity. Liking this one which doesn't involve too much setup/diy burden while still giving you enough control over your hardware/software
This is an amazingly informative video!!!! For I am not even a novice (do not even own a drone) I am currently looking for a new hobby. And with your immense knowledge given. I do believe you helped me find one. Kuddos!!! Your videos are by far the best on this topic.
FYI, there are titanium, Nylon, and Aluminum standoffs available from various merchants. Not sure I would Nylon or Aluminum but if weight is an issue, it’s one way to trim a bit of weight easily.
hey, instead of a reverse shell you could host a vpn server, and inside that virtual network you can easily connect to your drone from any other device connected to the vpn as well
Cleaver Boy. You figured out reverse tunneling, I tried to explain this to people back in 2014. No one knew WTF I was talking about...Glade to see you guys have caught up.
absolutely brilliant work. This is going to help me develop my autonomous secp256k1 drone for secure communication globally and to exit telemetry and video to my secure servers as well as share live feeds. I will be in touch to buy a couple of these when my funding lands.
You asked what kind of projects am I thinking of? 1, how to do this for a fixed wing. 2, how can I do that WAY cheaper, and 3, either you have to be running like a 12s li-po or 2 6s li-pos or something because that has to be pulling a lot of power.
Does anyone know what the max elevation for flights would be? I'm looking to record a model rocket launch and control some servos at altitude. Could it reach 45,000 ft (~8miles) maximum?
I think you might run into issues with the FAA, another question would be do you have cell service in an airplane at 30000ft. I don’t think it would work, you would have better luck programming a flight into a software like ardupilot and letting it float around up there. Doing this method though would mean no ground control at all so doing this is mildly sketchy. I guess it depends on how attached to your drone and camera you are. The us government might think it’s a ufo so be careful. Edit: did some research and a website on google said that cell towers can transmit signal at a distance of 22 to 48 miles on a horizontal plane, but to conserve energy they are angled as such so as not to transmit vertically. Max vertical distance is about 1000 feet, considerably less than 8 miles. Hope this provided some insight.
One of the best project videos I have seen on RUclips. Amazing work and appreciate the thoroughness. I recently had a BOM (using Cube and readytosky components) put together and was going to embark on the journey of creating my own drone mainly for automated surveillance missions. The issue really came down to optics. Getting a gimbal and camera and operating that in addition to the flight systems seemed like something that would be quite expensive and deliver subpar results. It seemed almost more reasonable to get a DJI and use their SDK. Can you recommend a current article that frames and considers this dilemma? Perhaps some comments on Cube as well? After seeing this video I am now questioning my conviction to off the shelf drones but really for the application of surveillance how well can a DIY drone compete.
I appreciate the kind words, Darren! Glad you found the video useful. I would say the ArduPilot/PX4 DIY drone vs DJI is a real dilemma. The DIY route is ideal for custom functionality. For example I imagine trying to enable a DJI drone with 4G would be much more difficult than an ArduPilot drone. But the DJI drones are clearly superior out of the box machines. I guess for you, it comes down to if you're able to develop your surveillance functionality within the SDK that DJI provides. Depending on who your customers are, there may be security concerns regarding backdoor CCP access. As far as the cube goes, I don't have direct experience with it. I consider the jump to the pixhawk to be equivalent to the jump from the Nokia brick phone to the Iphone 1. And the difference between the pixhawk 1 and the cube based boards to be equivalent to the jump from iphone 1 to iphone 5- there may be some more functionality, but 99% of what you can do on the iphone 5 can be done on the iphone 1. And a cube and carrier board may be 3x more expensive than a pixhawk 1 (aka 2.4.8). Just my 2 cents on that.
I've got to wonder why you spliced the USB C cable instead of just wiring it directly to the UBEC board. You've introduced extra weight and a failure point. Just saying. Great instructional video, way beyond my capabilities.
Can you please do a new tutorial showing everything from the beginning? Like how to actually build the drone, how to assault everything, all parts that are needed etc
Changing the port doesn’t do a whole lot. It just makes it harder to ssh into, if you really want a secure connection you’d want to make your ssh key with a secure password, and only allow connections to the device via the key. This will allow you to still use port 22 but it would be much harder for someone to hack into.
Brainstorming on how to integrate drones into IoT projects. If you have any kind of projects to share would be great. Security of an area is one I'm investigating. Rent a drone for the area Security. Mount load speakers on drone and camera with some AI to alert intruders. The Camera could spin around slowly and ascend up to sound off the message to the intruder of a shipping container yard.
Excellent, thanks for sharing such a detailed tutorial. Will FPV over 4G be too laggy? remote camera vision would be a great addition as a follow-up video;) Thanks again for such a great project. Subbed
Instead of sshtunnel u can use no-ip dynamic dns so u can connect through static domain even with out knowing IP, even IP changes in RPI it auto updates it self
Buena idea, solo un pequeño problema. Dudo mucho que alcance 70 millas cuando el Rasberry Pi consume casi 2.5 amp mas el consumo de la controladora y que decir sobre los motores compensando el peso de todo eso.
Buena pregunta. El objetivo de esto no es volar el dron durante 70 millas a la vez. Es solo para controlarlo desde 70 millas de distancia. Tal vez tenga una flota de drones en todo el país y necesite controlarlos en un solo lugar
Just bumped into your channel. Very interesting. I have seen videos of mobile service connected drones (mainly with RC planes due to power to distance efficiencies), never seen one with a Quad (not that I have really looked). I'm Very interested and will be checking out your site and more videos shortly.
Awesome guide! Keep it up! Question: maybe I missed it, but does the six fab module also works with a prepaid Simcard with 10GB of for example Vodafone in The Netherlands?
Very nice project!! Great job!! What if you put all this setup to a big chunky motors the one user to agroculture ones that will work,pr what will be the modification to do to make it work.
it may be possible to get a long range but i am not sure if it is legal because i have heard that the faa put rules in place to limit flying machines to 500 feed off the ground and line of sight and less than 50 pounds because of accidents involving flying machines. so check with your laws before doing such. a thing.
Very compete tutorial, thank you. One thing I don't understand, most solutions use zerotier or other cpns to connect ground to air without public ip. Ssh reverse tunneling does need it? Thx!
Yeah that's a big downside indeed. Maybe there could be a chance to make use of dynamic dns services that route a fixed subdomain on your changing public ip, but idk, haven't tried out, just a suggestion to look into
Cool video. Can you change this to run from a mobile base station laptop using 2 sim cards...1 for base station, and 1 for drone to get away from having to use your WAN address at home?
I can confirm that FPV over LTE is definitly possible. I have done it myself. You can do it with the raspberry pi CSI camera or with an actioncam that supports USB webcam functionality (v4l2src). Furthermore you need hardware and software with realtime video encoding capabilities. I used gstreamer, but ffmpeg or the rapivid software could also be an option. I managed to achieve a 720P (H264 encoded) live fpv feed at 30fps, with around 250ms delay between realtime and video playback on the ground station over 4G connection. The biggest challenge is to find a good balance between video latency, quality (resolution & framerate) and data bandwith, because LTE data plans with sufficient highspeed volume (e.g. >10GB per month) are often expenssive.
We are going to build an amphirone drone which fly in air and dive underwater so how can we do wireless communication underwater and can you please send us instruction manual of how to connect pi and pixhawk .also how can we make them waterproof
Thanks... Would it be possible to overlay an osd display on the live video showing calculated info like vertical speed using this drone? Any suggestions please would be very welcome
I have a question. Instead of using UART connection between Pixhawk and RPi, we can simply use USB-micro connection (USB from RPi and micro into Pixhawk)? For the UART connection we need to setup - enable GPIO on RPi, so for the USB-micro connection, do we need to setup anything on RPi?
Bruh, we designed this in 2019 for our capstone project @LSU. Glad to see someone else picked it up and understands how crazy this technology really is. We gave the PI with our 4G modem camera a cloud server ip to receive mav link protocols to run the autonomous commands.

This is so hilariously complex, I love it. I am not even into Drones, just researching 4g modules! 😂❤

it may be possible to get a long range but i am not sure if it is legal because i have heard that the faa put rules in place to limit flying machines to 500 feed off the ground and line of sight and less than 50 pounds because of accidents involving flying machines.
so check with your laws before doing such. a thing.
Very compete tutorial, thank you. One thing I don't understand, most solutions use zerotier or other cpns to connect ground to air without public ip. Ssh reverse tunneling does need it? Thx!
you can reserve ip in router plus make a static ip on rpi, your main issue is if your home isp internet (public) ip changes! then what!??
The approach in this video does assume a static IP for your router. If it changes, you're right, the system is broken.
Yeah that's a big downside indeed. Maybe there could be a chance to make use of dynamic dns services that route a fixed subdomain on your changing public ip, but idk, haven't tried out, just a suggestion to look into
I would look into zerotier for the communication
Very cool! Now if I could just find a pi in stock locally
Cool video. Can you change this to run from a mobile base station laptop using 2 sim cards...1 for base station, and 1 for drone to get away from having to use your WAN address at home?
Isnt it truly 140 miles since the comand was sent 70 miles to the computer and 70 miles back to the drone?
We doing all of this!
that is amazing
Does this Pi Hawk drone have the ability to send video over 4g/LTE or only telemetry?
Great question. It is definitely capable of that. This isn't covered in the video, but think that'd be a great topic for a future video :)
@@thedronedojo yess please show us :'D
I can confirm that FPV over LTE is definitly possible. I have done it myself.
You can do it with the raspberry pi CSI camera or with an actioncam that supports
USB webcam functionality (v4l2src).
Furthermore you need hardware and software with realtime video encoding capabilities.
I used gstreamer, but ffmpeg or the rapivid software could also be an option.
I managed to achieve a 720P (H264 encoded) live fpv feed at 30fps, with around 250ms delay between
realtime and video playback on the ground station over 4G connection.
The biggest challenge is to find a good balance between video latency, quality (resolution & framerate)
and data bandwith, because LTE data plans with sufficient highspeed volume (e.g. >10GB per month)
are often expenssive.
@@eliasgeiger5445 thx for your comment
@@eliasgeiger5445 that's excellent. I would love a guide on this as my Linux skills are weak.
Limitless 4G is good and also you can make unlimited coverage but what about battery? Battery will last 1 hour Max for most what?
Nice job keep going bro👍
We are going to build an amphirone drone which fly in air and dive underwater so how can we do wireless communication underwater and can you please send us instruction manual of how to connect pi and pixhawk .also how can we make them waterproof
Very nice! Now do it under 250g! :)
Very cool video - but FYI - you give away your IMEI when showing the cell modem up close. Just sayin'...
Thanks... Would it be possible to overlay an osd display on the live video showing calculated info like vertical speed using this drone? Any suggestions please would be very welcome
They are mounting a lot of 5G antennas in my area and that will open the door for more bandwidth.
can you please make a video where you make this a FPV drone thats manually controlled?
I have a question. Instead of using UART connection between Pixhawk and RPi, we can simply use USB-micro connection (USB from RPi and micro into Pixhawk)? For the UART connection we need to setup - enable GPIO on RPi, so for the USB-micro connection, do we need to setup anything on RPi?
