Telecommunications

The drone is equiped with 5km range 433MHz telemetry and 2km range of 2.4GHz manual control.

Package Included:
The radio telemetry module consists of 1 x Telemetry transceiver (Pin Header), 1 x Radio telemetry base station (USB Connection), 2 x cables (APM/PIX), 2 x 5dbi antennas, 2 x PIX flight control connect cable, 2 x 3M waterproof double gule. The Radio telemetry base station is connected to the Ground Control Station (GCS) which is your laptop. The Telemetry transceiver is to be connected to the navio2 flight controller. The GCS’s purpose is to plan flight path and monitor flight data.

Connections:
If the UART port’s serial lines have to be used for other purposes such as for obstacle avoidance, or the GPIO 17 of the UART port is used for installation of turn-off switch, the Air Module of the telemetry can be interchanged with that of the Ground Module, with the Ground Module’s USB head connected to the RPi3. The Air Module’s UART requires an additional USB-TTL CP2012 converter to communicate with the GCS, or computer through the Silicon Labs CP210X USB-UART Bridge driver

The telemetry module has blinking LED that turns solid when connection is established with its ground counterparts. The receiver should also have LEDs indicative of its supply to the power.
