I like devices that have multiple purposes. My theory is that if I am going to load up my UAS with electronics that it may as well be electronics capable of performing multiple tasks.For those that have seen my posts on …See More

Toby,

What would you suggest as a minimum system to get started with this 3G telemetry?

Thanks for posting your work !

All you need is a Fatbox and a TTL level converter.
Alternatively the dronecell is working, but that is fairly Alpha.

Posted on August 6, 2012 at 9:48pm 15 Comments

Way back in December last year, I put up this post which showed me ground testing 3g Telemetry.

Since then I've been very busy with other projects and only got back around to looking at 3g Telemetry last month.

I bought the new…

Its now been a whole year since I got addicted to the crazy hobby of Autopilots.

What a wild ride!!!

There has been some fantastic moments and some of total frustration, but it has been an exciting and rewarding journey.

I think its time for a new DIY Drones contest which I would like to propose.

The T3 is fun, but it doesn't have any real point other than the winner gets some bragging rights.

At the end of the day, speed is not the goal for most of us so a competition that measuers speed yields no useful information that helps us move forward as a group.

The contest I would like to proprose…
