Thanks again. I initially got into multirotors in an attempt to finish a model rocket project I started around 10 years ago and almost gave up because the telemetry wasn't there then, but it is now and the autonomy promises the hope of one pilot and a 3 stage lifting body style glider ( I need 2 more pilots). The details are of course Top Secret!
I like it! I just got a Nextbook 7 in and I'm in the same process. I just got a Dell laptop and some Fat Shark head tracker gear and its setup for on site work with the APM 2.6 and that's the start of my ground station! Right now I use the tablet as a kind of FPV with the GoPro app and the Hero 4 on a quad for the neighbor kids in the back yard! I have no Idea what the range is but the tablet shows a real good image at 50 feet! I'm sold. Now how does one guy fly more then one quad???
Robert Small Sounds like a cool setup. I guess you could fly more than one quad if you were to leverage APM or Pixhawk. Have one in auto mode or loiter and then switch to the other. Then back. Not sure that makes a whole let of sense, but definitely possible.
Hi again Dennis I final got my setup to work .I had alot of trouble with getting the baud rate to change .I had to use an ardunio uno and some code i found on the web. but now all seems good , only ground tested so far. I am so pleased i came across your project , thanks again and keep up the good work . cheers
Very cool! Glad to hear it and keep in touch. Perhaps as you get further into this you'd be willing to share some of your experiences on www.garagepilots.com. Take care.
Excellent video, my only concern is the TX solder connection on the Bluetooth device. The blob of solder is very close to the GND connector. I would wick some of the solder away on the TX connection and use shrink tubing on all the leads. Other than that keep up the great work!
hi dennis, very helpfull, in my case i have the old version of the 3dr radios, the ground radio only has USB connector, have you received info on how to get access to tx and rx on the ground radio? thanks,
If you're only able to get TX/RX via USB then I'd pull up a USB pinout so you should be able to access it. Is that what you're asking? If not, perhaps you'd be willing to post this in the forums over on www.garagepilots.com and we can try to help you out.
Hey Denis great video, i just realized that you also teach me how to set up several fligth modes on my ex9 radio a long time ago. Excellent videos, and excellent channel, I will be getting my Bluetooth module next week and I will try this out. I did the same as you, i purchased the USB cable but my phone don't have usb host. I will let you know. Do you have a website or personal email ?
Hey Dennis, Have you every used a GPS antenna's from one system and had any luck using it on another system? (like multiwii to apm) I heard it is possible, I've heard all you have to do is change the baud rate. If that is the case I'm not even sure where to start. I didn't know if you have ever messed with that. Thanks for the videos and info! Matt
***** I haven't, but used to do some programming with different GPS receivers. They normally send the same data format (NMEA) so if you can wire them properly I would expect the system to be able to translate the NMEA sentences from different receivers. Now I haven't done this so it's just theoretical at this point. Good luck and let us know what you find out.
Got it working the same thanks to your 3 videos, that is great. One problem though, if I hit "disconnect" on the Droidplanner, the bluetooth red light stays fix meaning it does not go to discovery mode by itself. I have to switch the lipo off and on again to have the discovery mode on again so that I can hit "connect" on droidplanner. Is there any AT command I could type from my PC to force it to go to discovery mode as soon as connection is lost ? Thanks again
Philippe Giboulot That's a great question. I'm not entirely sure. I need to see if mine behaves the same way. I recall being able to disconnect and reconnect with no problems. If I find something I'll be sure to share it. Glad to hear you at least got it working.
Hi Dennis i got it to work also i need some advice on the APM 2.6 throttle setup could you explain the throttle for stabilize and loiter and Althold my quad shoots up or even plummet straight down any help would be great
ras4q2001 That's strange. You should make sure your compass is properly calibrated and run the compassmot routine. Also, check your stick calibration in Mission Planner to make sure you don't have any sort of expo or scaling going on that is causing your throttle to not be linear. Sorry, but that's the best I can come up with without seeing your setup. If you want to provide more details please post in the forums at www.garagepilots.com. Best of luck.
Hi,I have watched all the 3dr setup with Bluetooth,and you said that the tx connected to the tx,and rx to rx and in the other video you said Rx to tx and tx to rx which one is correct?
Johnson Samuel Sorry if I confused you. TX from one must go to RX on the other. One line on one device will be transmitting and the other will be receiving. Then the other line will be receiving while the other device is transmitting. I fear this may be even more confusing. Hope that makes sense.
HAY thanks man so you think from one transmitter a pilot could command a second receiver? Im thinking with a ground station? And something like shared GPS and tracking telemetry for proximity and avoidance! Kinda "Dancing Droids" I guess! If not the scheme is more then one machine using pre planned flight and a way to trigger simultaneous operation! Wing or Flock is what I call it!
Robert Small I was thinking more of the scenario where multiple UAVs were flying autonomously. Take off and land without TX intervention. Good question about multiple receivers. Not 100% sure how that would work, but definitely an interesting concept. Let me think on it some more. Good stuff :)
Dennis is the range better than 2.4? then it could be a redundant control system. You could get 5 pin balance charger connectors for the bluetooth device.
No, it's going to be much more limited....at least the connection between the tablet and the bluetooth module. Nice idea on the balance connectors. Let me see what I can find out.
Dennis Baldwin Well if transfer rates increase streaming ok vid should be possible. Excellent control for transmitting node network maybe. Have a great new years and holiday.
hi Dennis. great project, just wondering if you have had time to do much testing? Also could you run a laptop and tablet at the same time ? anyway keep up the job work .. cheers darren
Darren, not yet because the weather has so bad here lately. I'm not sure if you could run both a laptop and tablet at the same time. I'll see what I can find out.
ras4q2001 You can find a bunch in the 3DR online store: store.3drobotics.com/products/df13-6-position-to-5-position-connector-15-cm If I recall the APM has a 5 pin connector for the telemetry port and the 6 pin on the actual module. But please double-check that. The 3DR store has a bunch of different cables that you can purchase.
Thank you for your help, can you make a video about the settings 4 GPS hold, when I fly mine in GPS my quadcopter would come down I don't know if maybe the settings are not right sorry I'm new to this is apm 2.6 board I always use DJI Naza version 2 so if it is possible for you to show me all your setup on your quad copter that would be very nice, at the moment I can only fly in stabilize not sure about the other modes, thank you.
Johnson Samuel Make sure your barometer is well covered and that your ESCs are well separated from your GPS/Compass. I use a little antenna mast. Try running the compassmot routine and see what it says.
So lets say I didn't have to go through these extra steps like you did because my tablet has OTG cable. If I were flying about and crash in an area I can't see, would I be able to find my plane/quadcopter through the telemetry linked to my tablet/phone?
Yes definitely. This assumes you don't lose power to your plane or that any comm cables become unplugged. I had this happen with my plane once because a clevis broke on the aileron. I was able to use the last known location on my tablet to locate it. Good question.
Hi Dennis, could you please tell me why when i connect my android phone ( samsung ) i get ... " data link lost, check connection..." my android is paired and write " Autopilot " with my bluetooth module and my module is wired like this....bluetooth red to red TX 433Mhz ( french ), black to black, green from TX 433 to TXD bluetooth, yellow from TX 433 to RXD bluetooth... i need it to link my phone or tablet without mini usb but with bluetooth...i prefer to get a link with no cable between my tablet and TX 433MHz and a battery for this (+ bec 5v )...this avoid to used teh battery of tablet... But i don't understand why doesn't work ...? May be do you have an idea...? Best regards Philippe
It's really hard to say but make sure you are not connecting TX from one end to TX on the other end. You need to have TX on one end to RX on the other end and vice versa. Also, check your baud rate as it will be slower than the 115,200 of a USB connection. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.
Droidplanner didn't work on both my HTC one phone and galaxy tab3 7inch.... Thank you so much for your tutorial now I'm waiting delivery of my bt module for the mod :)
Thanks for the vid. I don't have the Bluetooth mod yet but I was able to root my Asus HD7 notebook and get working that way. The reason for my comment however i think I have a better solution for power. I have a portable batterypack for charging cellphones tablets etc. It puts out 5v via USB and only cost $12. For my set up I have a USB hub plugged into the battpack via 2 USBs hacked together to make a double male cable. The 3Dr ground radio (old style with USB connection only) plugs into the hub and the hub plugs into the OTG cable and then to tablet.
u can buy chav unit that u can connect to by bluetooth then it puts out a 433mhz to connect your plane or so on , but the really nice thjing about it is it has it own power that u charge an cfig by usb
I want to be able to use the "follow me" function from my cell phone, it seems the only way to do this is via bluetooth using a set up like this. However... although I can understand 99% of it, what you dont show is how the set up is connected to the APM unit. Via the telemetry port? The air telemetry units I have are like these which is supplied with the wrong plug for the APM and nobody seems to know where the black plug would connect to the APM.
I'm surprised to hear your units didn't come with the proper plug. Yes, I'm using the telemetry port for the 3DR radio attached to the model. Feel free to check out www.garagepilots.com and post some pics in the forums over there. I'll be glad to help you get this working. Good luck!
i have 3DR telemetry and dos not have Wire lead connection for Bluetooth and Samsung Tab3 no USB support . so how to connect USB Telemetery with Buletooth.. ?
kabirkhan khan i asume that your telemetry ground module has just a standard usb male socket...what you can do is search online for usb diagram...every usb has 4 connections: 5v dataIN dataOUT ground...you can just connect the radio to the bluetooth by connecting the 5v ground ofc and then connect radio's dataOUT to rx on the bluetooth and the dataIN to the tx...thats all
+mario guadron Interesting that it's working. Perhaps your module is labeled differently than the one I had. If it's working then please don't mess with it :)
Hello Dennis, I have a question for you, hopefully you can solve it. I have a NON 3DR telemetry RX Like this one: (www.ebay.com/itm/433MHz-Radio-Ground-Module-for-2-Way-Half-Duplex-Telemetry-System-3DR-Radio-e-/281500396255?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item418abb2adf) The Problem is that because its usb, i cant find the correct config. I know were to connect the + and - because when i power it on with the BT as you did it powers one but does not transmit/connect. I have tried all combos of TX/RX but it doesn't send/receive . Your help would be much appreciated TY
Hi Dennis Baldwin , great set of vids once again. Im currently working on something similar myself. diydrones.com/forum/topics/another-telemetry-bluetooth-build?xg_source=activity It's all going to hopefully sit in a nice looking case I bought for $6.
Nicholas, that's awesome. It would be killer if you could get that schematic down to one tiny PCB that could be put into an enclosure. Don't you think the 1600mAh battery is overkill? I'm going to do some power profiling to see if we can get away with something less. Bluetooth is fairly low power so it would be nice to have a compact, light-weight solution. I'm not sure how serious you are about this project but perhaps we could collaborate and I'll contribute a 3D printed case. Anyway, great work on what you've done so far.
Dennis Baldwin Actually, Im currently also building a UV exposure box so i can make my own PCBs. Part 1 is to build the whole box and get it working manually, then part 2 is to build in a timer relay to allow precise exposure for the PCB. Im hoping to have part 1 completed within a few weeks. I can then start making my PCBs for my other projects such as this telemetry->bluetooth project, and others. I have a heap of projects on the go right now, I think I need a place to blog about them. maybe rcgroups, not really sure. Any suggestions?
Dennis Baldwin I've already got all the components ordered from the various shops, so will start building when they come in. I would like to collaborate on this project if you have the time.
I'm definitely interested. I'm swamped right now but hopefully things will slow down a bit early next year. Let me know how everything comes along and I'm going to start playing around with a box design. BTW, I run a community at www.garagepilots.com and it would be a good place to promote this project once things start coming together. Happy Holidays!
Great to see it all working there Dennis Baldwin

Dennis Baldwin will do
cheers
Dennis looks great! I want to get a APM for a plane I have and get to know how to set up a fully auto system. You did a great job on this.
Okay Larry, we will talk about it soon.
Excellent video, my only concern is the TX solder connection on the Bluetooth device. The blob of solder is very close to the GND connector. I would wick some of the solder away on the TX connection and use shrink tubing on all the leads. Other than that keep up the great work!

ola. tentei fazer isso com uma telemetria RFD 900+, porem nao conecta no bluetooth. segui os passos mas nao vai
Cut off one usb cable for power supply and u can use a power bank for that and also it can be used if ur tab’s battery runs out it can help
Nice series Dennis!
Phil, thank you and hope all is well.

Dennis Baldwin cheers Dennis , I have order Bluetooth module so will be having a go too . but look forward to your updates
hi Dennis i upgraded to a new apm Fc with these radios my questions is where did you get that 6 pin connector my kit didn't come with any

Do we have to configure the Bluetooth to 5700 baud rate? Of so, how? I am trying it with Hc05 but no luck
Hi followed your three part videos and my GC connects but can't send or receive data?
Awesome as always keep up the good work

can you plug the blue tooth module directly in to the apm board for close range setup for misionplaner ?
+robsycko That's a great question. I haven't done it directly before, but I believe it's possible with this setup here: amzn.to/1S4hats
It does work i did it after i asked not much range
You did it again D., not that I was in any doubt.;o)
Nice job.
Ha, thanks! Well I'd like to clean this up a bit so we'll see how it goes.
Droidplanner didn't work on both my HTC one phone and galaxy tab3 7inch.... Thank you so much for your tutorial now I'm waiting delivery of my bt module for the mod :)
Great Michael! Let me know how it goes or reach out if you have any questions.
what is the bluetooth module?

Hi Dennis i'll do a little video with my setup i need some advice i'll do it soon

i have 3DR telemetry and dos not have Wire lead connection for Bluetooth and Samsung Tab3 no USB support . so how to connect USB Telemetery with Buletooth.. ?
You'll need to make or buy your own connector for the radio to bluetooth module then.
kabirkhan khan i asume that your telemetry ground module has just a standard usb male socket...what you can do is search online for usb diagram...every usb has 4 connections: 5v dataIN dataOUT ground...you can just connect the radio to the bluetooth by connecting the 5v ground ofc and then connect radio's dataOUT to rx on the bluetooth and the dataIN to the tx...thats all
Hey me how is the conection between telemetry and bluetooth it is (tx-tx. Rx-rx) or (tx-rx tx-rx)
+mario guadron Good question. TX-RX and RX-TX
Ohhh really i conected tx tx rx rx and it is working but i dont know if can brakedown
+mario guadron Interesting that it's working. Perhaps your module is labeled differently than the one I had. If it's working then please don't mess with it :)
anybody know how to do this using a ground radio which has a USB connector?
Great video. I want to order a bluetooth module to do the same, is that a slave, a master, or both ? Thank you
Philippe Giboulot It's this slave one right here:
amzn.to/1e3T4Mf
Hope that helps.
Can you do this with iPhone
Hello Dennis, I have a question for you, hopefully you can solve it. I have a NON 3DR telemetry RX Like this one:
(www.ebay.com/itm/433MHz-Radio-Ground-Module-for-2-Way-Half-Duplex-Telemetry-System-3DR-Radio-e-/281500396255?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item418abb2adf)
The Problem is that because its usb, i cant find the correct config. I know were to connect the + and - because when i power it on with the BT as you did it powers one but does not transmit/connect. I have tried all combos of TX/RX but it doesn't send/receive .
Your help would be much appreciated
TY
Nice.
Thanks for watching.
with pleasure, Dennis... keep posting =)
Ok I found one on ebay much thanks
Hi Dennis Baldwin , great set of vids once again. Im currently working on something similar myself.
diydrones.com/forum/topics/another-telemetry-bluetooth-build?xg_source=activity
It's all going to hopefully sit in a nice looking case I bought for $6.
Nicholas, that's awesome. It would be killer if you could get that schematic down to one tiny PCB that could be put into an enclosure. Don't you think the 1600mAh battery is overkill? I'm going to do some power profiling to see if we can get away with something less. Bluetooth is fairly low power so it would be nice to have a compact, light-weight solution. I'm not sure how serious you are about this project but perhaps we could collaborate and I'll contribute a 3D printed case. Anyway, great work on what you've done so far.
