Hi everyone . just want to shear my Ground station build with you all.

I am using 3DR APM 2.6

With my Airtiten plane

And RFD 900

And i wanted something that will work for me and be able to see the live feed from camera or plan any mission will flying so i start to get the equipment that i need :

1- gigabyte brix intel celeron n2807 my main computer .

2- d58  4-diversity better than 2 so way not.

3- video booster.

4- base corrector

5-   SD DVR High Resolution Digital Video Recorder.

6- wireless keyboard

7- usb hub

................................................................................................................................................................

So after all part arrived

Here is the build :

I have an old dell laptop 15" square lcd witch i like better than wide lcd  

And i get one controller bord for it from ebay it will give me abelti to run it and use it for any thing and its have a HDMI and RCA plus VGA input plus a remote control

I get one of this plastic bag to carry all of my equipment

Here i am testing the lcd and controller bored with PS3 and its nice and clear

Here i change my mind about attaching the lcd to the case so i add a frame for the lcd so i have a space for the weir to go in the back of screen

On the other side i add 4 smalls fans on each side for cooling one side is in and the other one is out

I add the mine power and a 12v  to 2usb one is 2.1A and the other one 1A

for my cell phone charge and my electronic cigarette.

All this has to go inside LOOOOOOOL

the plane is to have the live video from the diversity to the bass corrector and then to video booster that have 4 port video out :

one to the DVR for record and one to the lcd and tow for extra auxiliary so i can use my goggle also extra TV for my friends to see

Start to arrange the components

Adding more

The controller bored don't have a cover so i made a simple one to keep it protect

Adding some Buttons

Testing the computer and mission planer

Everything now inside little missy but do the job

I add a carbon fiber cover to give it a nice look

The 4 antenna on the top

The almost finish look

I had one watt meter so i take it a parts and install it in the ground station so i can see the volt + ampere + watts in one device  screen

Now we have to do something about the screen in day light or sun

Also a video with more info will be upload later and will be add here .

I enjoy bulling this ground station so much . so if someone have any comment or suggestion pls i will be happy to hear it.

Thanks for everybody he share his build out there i will not be able to do this without there help and there ideas.
