    You could cut holes for the word to your radio boxes so the wires are behind and not routed down from the top. You could also make trim pieces to cover the wire outlets. A heavier first coat of paint helps avoid that streaky look you were fighting.

      Hi travistucker. Yes, this ground control station needs room for improvement. This is just the basic setup for something functional. I routed the cables on top as I may need to extend the radios on a tripod for later long range setup. As for the paint, your right. A thicker primer would have a better outcome. Thank you for the recommendation. And thank you for watching.

      @LyndonsWorkshop if you were going to use longer cables on occasion, you could use surface mount connectors and cables from here to there. Many solutions, really. Painting is never fun to me, i always have to do 30 coats to get the look i want

      Sorry for the late reply. I used mission planner for the telemetry. You could also use Qgroundcontrol as what engineers usually use.

      Can you fly the drone with that software, I'm a noob, and know pretty much nothing about this stuff. Buy I purchased a 600$ anaconda plane from ready-made rc and been trying to figure out what I need to fly this thing. I also got a speedy bee f405 flight controller to put I nav on. Have no clue how to do any of this stuff lol just been sinking money into all this gear. But I'm old and want to fly with a joystick.

    • @talknstang400
      @talknstang400 29 дней назад

      Youll need separate telemetry modules and set it up on mission planner. I think ur wanting to take telemetry data from ur rm and use that with MP but i dont think MP is set up that way.

      @Emillsmailov. Thank you. I’m just using a generic one I got from amazon. I think they are just rated 400 meters distance. But you should be able to get longer distance telemetry radios depending on your application.

    Hey, I've been flying model airplanes since the 90's and I'm very familiar with current transmitter/receiver tech. I'm trying to figure out how Ardupilot works with a ground station like this in conjunction with a 2.4Ghz transmitter. I know you can run Ardupilot from a windows based PC and code custom buttons and joysticks and what not. But why are you burying a transmitter in the bottom of that case and why do you have an elastic holding the right stick up like that? Does that transmitter override any commands sent from the PC or something?

    • @LyndonsWorkshop
      @LyndonsWorkshop  Год назад

      Hi AnthonyCelata. I'm flying my quadcopter with a telemetry radio only, to run my experiments. Although recommended to have the 2.4Ghz transmitter as a backup, it is not necessary due to existing failsafes (such as return to launch, etc.)if signal is lost. I did include the 2.4Ghz transmitter in the video just to show the sufficient storage space below but I'm not using using it during flight. Also the rubber is just to pull the stick to the side as it is protruding.😁

    So basically you made a laptop case to hold everything, but you can't take out what you want, because everything is screwed down. How is that better than just a laptop bag, where you only take out what you need at that moment? This makes.....no sense to me.
