Ikaros replied to Seppo's discussion RFD900, RFD900+ - New long range radio modem
"No problem,
RSSI reporting is unfortunately not yet supported in the MP firmware"

"Hi Thijs,
Try to use the MPSiK V2.5 rfd900p.ihx firmware from http://files.rfdesign.com.au/firmware/
It will work better"

"Hi Pau,

The 868 does not work with the standard firmware. Use the multipoint firmware instead, apperently it handles synchronization better. The only downside is that you loose the logging of the link quality so it is harder to debug the telemetry"

"Hi,

Just to make sure the thread represents the state of the product. We have around 30 to 40 of these and they all work absolutely great. Very high quality and no one is defective. The only issue we have is that you have to run the RFD868+ with…"

Ikaros commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Delft VTOL project uses helicopter-style main rotor for effeciency
"Super cool design and good luck in the challenge! How do you handle the fact that all your antennas (GPS, telemetry, satellite) rotate 90 degrees when you switch from hover to cruise mode?"

"Hi Joe,
 
No problem! Actually as far as I remember you answered all of them here:

Thanks again for the detailed explanations, antennas are a fascinating subject!
 
Hope to read…"

"No they didn't say how long it would take, but I am looking forward to it. None of my rfd868p modems work on the standard fw so I have to run them with MP fw. The link is solid but no RSSI reporting.."

"Hi, the radio link reporting is not working on the multipoint fw. I contacted RFDesign and they are working on it."

Ikaros commented on CSG's blog post 433MHz Super Long Distance FHSS LoRa Wireless data modem with USB UART 5+ km range
"What kind of Software is running on the modem? Is it possible to log the link quality in a similar way as on SiK?"

Ikaros replied to Georg Alexander Lauprecht's discussion What Antenna do I choose?
"Hi Georg,

What type of data link do you want to set up? Just Mavlink telemetry or also video and/or RC? "

Ikaros replied to Seppo's discussion RFD900, RFD900+ - New long range radio modem
"I have now verified that if I use the RSSI debugging functionality with AT commands the data looks good, RSSI is around 250 and noise around 60. So it is something in the pixhawk logging."

Ikaros replied to Seppo's discussion RFD900, RFD900+ - New long range radio modem
"I have a problem with the telemetry logging of the RFD868+ on Pixhawk.
If I look at the logs from a 3DR radio it looks like this:
But if I instead fly with the RFD868p it looks like this:


Do anyone know what the problem might be?
Edit: The…"

Any plans to add UAVCAN as interface?"

"Hi Seppo,
Ok, the testing was done over water close to a village at 7 km range. Will update here if the problem appears again."
