The Boscam RX5808 has three DIP switches to allow for eight different channels for receiving video, and this is where most RC hobbyists stop.
Stock, this radio module is just okay, but with a few modifications, it can be turned into a very good receiver with a spectrum analyzer and autoscan. One of the most popular and cheapest ways to go about this is the Boscam RX5808 wireless receiver – a $9 module able to pull down video from an aircraft over 5.8GHz radio. For just a few hundred dollars, it’s the closest thing you’re going to get to growing wings and flying through the trees of your local park. boat is destined to be tested on an upcoming trip to Hawaii, so keep an eye on his channel to see how it fares in the monster waves! Posted in 3d Printer hacks, Transportation Hacks Tagged brushless, first person view, flite test, FPV, lifeboat, radio control, rcįirst-person-view (FPV) flying, by adding a camera, video transmitter, and video goggles to the meat on the ground, is one of the best ways to experience remote-controlled flight. As long as the boat is in range, it can be piloted through video goggles. The final touch on this boat is a micro FPV camera and radio transmitter. Along the way he shows us everything from wiring up speed controls to cutting and soldering up a rudder. Peter’s musical build montage goes by fast, proving that he’s just as good editing video as he is scratch-building R/C craft. The lower hull was printed in two pieces then epoxied together. The files are available on Thingiverse if you want to print your own.
#LIFEBOAT VIP HACK SOFTWARE#
designed the boat in 3D modeling software and printed it on his Lulzbot Taz 6. His latest build is a lifeboat loosely based on the totally enclosed lifeboats used on oil tankers and other seafaring vessels. Now he’s gone solo, and has been cranking out some great builds on his YouTube channel. used to be one of the awesome folks over at Flite Test. A radio controlled lifeboat with a built-in First Person View (FPV) transmitter. This build takes things in a slightly different direction. Radio control boats usually bring up thoughts of racing catamarans, or scale sailing yachts. For a first pass, we think it’s great, but should enjoy it while he can in case AI takes over our flying fun soon.Ĭontinue reading “Super Simple, Super Cheap FPV Drone Tracking” → Posted in drone hacks Tagged diversity, first person view, FPV, received signal strength indicator, RSSI, servo, tracking Sure, the response could be snappier, and we’d love to see another receiver and servo added to track pitch as well as yaw.
With a 3D-printed servo mount and some fancy directional antennas, the setup keeps pretty good track of his drone now. The Arduino and the DC-DC converter needed to power it fit nicely inside the receiver case with no modifications, which is a nice touch.
sends the RSSI outputs to analog inputs on an Arduino which drives a servo to keep the signals as close to each other as possible. Diversity receivers constantly monitor signal strength from multiple antennas to determine which one to listen to, which improves reception quality. The idea is simple and uses the full-diversity FPV receiver he already has. Honestly, we’re not sure it would, but we think it’s pretty nifty to see ’s tracker following his drone around. Or is there? Might a simple tracker based on RSSI help keep your video signal locked in?
What’s more disruptive to the drone first-person view (FPV) experience than dropouts in your video feed when you’re in the middle of a race? Probably nothing, and there’s probably also not much you can do about it.
