About Me:
EE by trade I design embedded software and hardware. My two daughters (22 & 19) don't have much interest in my hobbies.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I fly helis quads and plane for fun. So next logical step is UAV I do construct test and fly Quad and hexacopter from scratch. Use APM 2.6 and 3.1.X copter software. Use Mission planner but will switch shortly to Pixhawk I think.

433 would be the best choice.
on 433 MHz, all the cranes, heavy vehicles, earth movers two ways radio are "pumping" tens of watts so not automatically the best :-)"

"Hi,
Which board version are you using? (1.3 or 1.31 or ..?)
Which firmware is loaded on that board? 2.11 or.. ?
Seems you have something real wrong very possibly in the firmware area.
I am struggling too but for different reasons. (don't want to…"

"900+ and 900X are not compatible. I do have multiple pairs of each.
The biggest advantage of the 900X is its fast processor which let ECC work without any lag.

Date 1st May 2017The quick tab showing most important selected parameters isn't updated through RF modems.- Tested with 4 differents modems and 3 different computers.- Going backward with version 1.3.46.3 build 1.1.6324.2857 and everything works…

Long story short: This modem can be powered independently (5Volts) from a separate cable. So this is a direct solution to your question.

"@benny arisusanto: Yes indeed! :-) RFD 900X solved
That is very encouraging . I'll measure the lag time on CPPM signal with a scope and will report the values."

"@davidbuzz: Did you manage to get mission planner (with 900x on usb) talking to another 900x on an airframe?

AFAIK: the 900x radios are superior to the 900+ in just about every way, ( which itself is great) but the loss that had…"

"Perhaps I would be better asking rfdesign.com.au to exchange my rfd900x set of modems for 900+ ones? (At least the 900 and 900+ sets I have work great with mission planner.)
Don't need encryption at this stage,
I have air-frames grounded because of…"

"rfd900x modems:
Did flash RFDSiK V2.53 rfd900x.bin using the RFD900x Flash Programmer: OK
Using Hyperterminal, I can use the AT commands and the modems are ok.
Unfortunately, mission planner isn't able to talk to these modems???

"Forgot to upload the menu screen grab showing the mission planner arm and takeoff command."
"This works without any transmitter. Just a link between laptop and aircraft. (I used rfdesign.com.au radio modems as they can be programmed for power and channels)
The above menu is called from mission planner with [Ctrl] [F] keys from the laptop."

"Not only the RFD900 modems are reliable but are a direct fit with Mavlink. I do have used a dozen of them now without a glitch!
It is better to give them a 'clean' power (5 Volts) as it seems to connect better.

"Testing 3.3:
Was really pleasantly surprised: The satellite Spektrum compatible receiver works! Even the channels are in the right order! Great! Love it!

Any 12 Volts to USB (Which is 5 Volts) normally will work.
So a 3S Lipo battery when fully charged is (4.2 x 3) = 12.6 volts.
If you don't know how to implement a such "gadget" then Google "12 volts to usb" to find many dealers of…"

It is great to see that CSG shop, and Drotek provide "Quality implementation" of the M8N GPS.
Drotek M8N, CSG M8N without large disk, CSG M8N with EMI protection, CSG M8N other version
