Hello All,
I am brand new to all this so please bare with me through the multiple questions.
I am building a 4WD rover with FPV video.
Currently I believe I have all the bits, I just need to integrate everything.
The following is a list of my parts;
- Frsky Taranis X9D and X8R for RC control
- 900Mhz FPV video
- 433 Mhz transceiver for data transmission
- OSD Minum
- Motors, controllers, Pixhawk, Arduino Uno, etc
I am planning a skid steer system with video pan & tilt using servo motors.
My main two areas of concern are:
1. I want to be able to use motor encoder information to read distance traveled reading both forward and reverse, I need to be able to reset distance traveled to zero from the control station at any given point.
2. I need the distance traveled to be overlayed on video.
The Taranis with GPS will give me distance from the controller but I need distance from start to stop of straight lines. Also most of my use of the vehicle will be underground so I doubt the GPS will be of any use.
Thank you for any input and for taking the time to read my post.
