About Me:

Retired Projectmanager and programmer. Photographer with my own firm since many years.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

As a photographer, it's very thrilling to be able to take photos and videos from the air. Multicopters allows for a reasonable price while technology is extremely interesting. My interest is focused on providing a quadcopter approx. 650 mm equipped with what is needed to get a really good quality of images and videos in relation to the quality of the camera used. To some degree for professional use.

"Thanks James.
I've already done that. I came to the same conclusion. A HC-06 with a cable configured for connection to a Pixhawk.

"Yes. It's connected to the Telem2 port. (BTW have tested Telem1 and Serial 4/5 ports which all are said to work.) Same result.
According to the detailed message:"MP waits for 2 valid heartbeats before connecting". So why do they not come? What unit…"

Hi, I thought it might be a good idea to connect my Ardutracker to Mission Planner with Bluetooth, and so avoid the USB cable between them. It will e.g. be easy to put the tracker at a high tripod. I have paired my laptop and Bluetooth module…
