Dear Vierola,

i ve been sucessfully tested a telemetry over 3G tcp-link with an android smartphone (onboard) and andropilot and droidplanner on a tablet (GCS). I ve also used the android smartphone as for a video over 3G. If you have an old android handset, you just need a cheap BT-Modul (arduino) and you could start ...

I would think, this is where a Raspberry would really prove its worth.

Copter Richie : 

I will post a video later today showing my configuration and its performance.

 

Jerry:

Half a year ago,  was using Facetime over 3g with my jailbroken iphone. It works perfect. The ide has past my mind also. It will work for sure.

The only problem is how good connection i will get with two cell network antennas so close togheter.

I really think the best thing ( If it works), is merge the video stream togheter with telemetry data.

Have you ever played with FaceTime? I tried it the other night with my wifes iphone and mine. There was no delay! It comes standard now on all iPhones. It does require a wifi, but there are apps to undo that if you jailbreak. Im thinking when tmobile rolls out 4g lte in my area, ill just strap a used jailbroke 4s on my 8x and FaceTime it. Will work until somebody makes an app just for this. Would be really neat to import minimosd code for osd overlay!

@MrLudvig, may I inquire more about the system you are using? Just a general overview would be fine. Thank you.

I also must add that Telemtry over celluar works perfect.

I probably have 50 flight`s with this system without any lost package or comuniation fault.

http://www.robonor.no/mage/default/linksprite-jpeg-color-camera-ttl...

 

Is there any chance of streaming video or picture to Mission Planner HUD?

If so, how to do it?

I know it can be difficult to get this work, but i will try.

 

I just dont know how to merge this video stream together with Telemetry data.

Anyone??

 

Regard

Ludvig

Hi,

I once put together some code to reconstruct the onboard view in Google Earth from either telemetry data or a log, that worked great! It runs on a J2EE application server and is viewed in a browser. That was as good for keeping a feeling of where you were as a real picture.

I don't think there is much chance of getting a picture through with a DroneCell or other 2G technology. I got myself a SIM700 thing now and eventually I am going to experiment with that...

... or am I? The world is flooded with perfectly working 3G Android and IOS phones that are one or two generations old and can be had for like 100 EUR or USD. They have no power supply problems (beat that DroneCell) and they have built in camera, IP stack and an OS to support application code. Many can be hacked to have or to support a serial interface...

For a solution without a mobile phone, I think one should not use the APM to route the image information. It is busy enough flying. Then rather a second computer that runs the cellular business, with image data from one interface, MAVLink serial to/from another and the SIM700 or something else in a third. Teh solution should (must) support multiple simultaneous TCP/UDP connections, so it will either need to run in multeplex mode with a SIM or equiv. module, or simple have its own IP stack.

Regards

Soren
