GCS CopterLink via 3DR

Hi!

I found the Copterlink project: http://code.google.com/p/copter-gcs/wiki/CopterLink

Do somebody knows, whether i kan use the 3dr telemtry kit (https://store.diydrones.com/3DR_RadioTelemetry_Kit_433Mhz_p/kt-tele...) instead the xbee modules?

Best regards.

Hi Anselm,

It should work with the 3DR Radios as a direct replacement of the XBees.

Hi!


For a fey days I get all parts and build it. But it has no function. I can use the 3dr with ftdi and apm at 57k. if I connect the 3dr to the bluesmirf I can connect via pad to bt, but I didn't get any heartbeat. A few time after BT connect and click on any gcs-app-button, the 3dr will lost connection (green led flashes). this is not happend, if i connect via usb-ftdi. has anybody an idea?

Sounds like your BT module isn't set to 57600. Did you change that in the bluesmirf config?

Try swapping your rx/tx lines.

This is ok, too. Rx from bt is connected to tx at 3dr and tx from bt to rx at 3dr. I've followed the circuit on the gcs copter wiki. I only use 3dr instead xbee.

I guess you'll have to prove that the BT module works and is working at that speed. Use a phone with BT and try to send data to a PC using the FTDI cable. Ensure everything is set to 57k and see if the data is readable or gibberish.

Hey Anselm and all,

I am very interested in how to set that up.

How do you do the wiring?

I have a 3DR ground module that is USB and I am unsure how to use it with BT.

Hi! You ned a second Air-Module and there you must connect the RX/TX wires to the BT-TR/RX. The actual gcs-copter version is for my pad/phone not usable. I still wait for an update from the developer. In the bug-tracker (~ #26 or 27) is a link to an other similar project wirthout the bug, but I doesn't used/checked this similar software...

Best regards from germany

Ok thanks, so no way to simply use the USB module?
