Semi-stand alone antenna tracker !

Hi,

 We are currently setting up a project to get an antenna tracker. The idea is to have GPS, aircraft telemetry on the antenna with a bluetooth interface to communicate to a laptop or tablet/phone.

 We are keen to get this into the community and we wanted to ask what option would users would like to see being incorporated into this system. Predominantly we see this as an ideal add on to survey grade UAV operations and I think the piksi RTK GPS might be perfect for this too.

 Let us know what do you think.

 Thanks

    • Hi Jun,

       The idea for the development of this tracker is

      1) to add safety to the system

      2) help in integration of RTK GPS

         Looking from the lack of response it seems that the community might not be looking for something like this. Nevertheless this is something we are developing for our system anyhow. 

       if your OSD feeds into a signal that the tracker is watching, then you get the benefit of the extra range.

           I am sorry I can't help at all with the problems you have with your setup.

          Our tracker will work based on the telemetry modems in a similar way that the ardutracker does, but with extra safety net of RSSI using additional directional antennas.
