Iris+ 433 MHz telemery?

Posted by Jimmy Oliver on April 11, 2015 at 11:44am

I just got a sweet deal on an Iris on ebay for $499. It showed up and seems to work fine, almost new. BUT: it has a 433MHz telemetry radio.

What am I in for with this? Am I breaking the law? Will it work well? Thoughts?

    I'll bet it will work just fine. I don't know what we have here in the USA that might be on that frequency? But, I would go to "optional hardware" in mission Planner, then 3DR radio, and make sure you have the TX power cranked all the way up.

      So the plug in telemetry unit for the phone must be replaced? The unit on the Iris? Both? Then check the Contoller in MP to see what the sticks are doing? When connected to MP on my phone it acts as expected and the switches are set up right. The sticks seem to be configured right.

      Hi Jimmy,

      Here the same. Forget Ardu, 3DR!

      Sounds like it tried heading back to Europe, hope you tagged it with a recovery note and some $$$ to encourage it home... :|

      I hit land, nothing. RTL nothing. Last sight of it was 700 meters from my a my spot. Cherry orchard maybe. Gimbal, modded GoPro, all gone. $1500.00 gone. I'm sick.

    Depends on your location. There was a guideline put out by 3dr advising what was legal where, I don't know if it still up to date but you should be able to find it online...
