Hello all :)
In the last day i've had a nice idea, let me show it:
what does what:
Arduino ADK1: takes the pwm signal from the transmitter and delivers it to the android smartphone
Smartphone 1:
1) takes the pwm signal from the arduino adk 1 and trandmittes it over the internet to smartphone 2
2) you can enter gps waypoints, transmittes thesee to smartphone 2
2) displays the dones status (gps data, orientation, camera......)
smartphone 2:
1) takes the pwm and sends them to arduino adk 2
2) takes it own sensors values (gps, barometric, gyroscope, accelerometer....) and transmittes these to arduino adk 2
3) takes status from arduino adk and sends it to smartphone 1
arduino ADK2:
1) takes pwm, sensor values (gps, barometric, gyroscope...), gps waypoints from smartphone 2
2) calculates data for servos, brushless controller.....
3) takes data from distance sensors for autolanding/starting
4) calculates datat from gps wasypoints
what are the advantages ?
1) nearly unlimited ranges !!!!
2) use for old android phone, you don't have to buy expensive sensors
3)you have a camera module onboard (you can adjust the viewing angle with servos so you dont move the camera module itself)
disadvantages:
reaction will be delayed...
The android smartphones are just used to transmitt the pwm values, gps signals, video signals and other, but not to calculate the data for the drone (i think thats toot complicated and i'ts easier to do that in arduino)
what do you think about this idea ?
My problem is, i can't programm in java/android apps... :S
Maybe there is somebody out there (or a group ^^) that likes this idea and programms it under a open source license :)
(sorry for my bad englisch, i'm from austria and a tired at the moment xD)
sincerly Neo :)
