"Can the rfd900+ take an sbus signal and send it to an rfd900u, which will then output that same sbus signal? "
"Its actually being done by a number of different people. Check out the "3DR Solo Brain Transplants" facebook page.
Somebody has created a PCB to attach the solo link to, which you then plug either a Pixhawk or Pixhawk 2.1 directly."

"A quick read here leads me to advise you to have a very good read of the ardupilot web site.
If you want to build a multirotor drone with semi autonomous capabilities, this is the best place to start.

"Pixhawk has SBUS out, which can be configured to use what ever channels or values you like.
All configurable within mission planner."

"Fair enough Alex.
How configurable are the outputs you can get? ie, can you get channel 1 to do something based on another channel, or can you implement expo?
I have a project that could use exactly this, as long as the configuration is there."

"Awesome, great work.
Is it possible to do 16 channels and output as SBUS? Also, will you share the files with us?"

"sweet, i'll have to ensure i limit the speed of my next build."
"Thanks. Subscribed."
"@Brian, i didnt realise that about OPLink. nice.
I agree with your statement regarding RC over telemetry. definitely not a good way to do it."

"The benefit of having an RC link as well as having a separate telemetry link is for redundancy. If you lose one, you'll still have the other.
If you only want to use one there are a number of options:

"Are these parts 3D printed carbon fiber?"
"WOW! This looks awesome. Well done.
I like the fact that the radio control is a separate signal from the video and telemetry. Allows for redundancy, unlike the solo link which carries all the information on a single signal.
Is the flight controller…"

Has anybody used a solo link in a custom drone yet? I notice you can buy the cards for about $50 each. Then add a long range wifi card and you're in business.3DR has released the firmware and code for it I think?Rolling a HD VTx, Radio Control, and…
Im after some opinions on whats the best companion platform for streaming HD video, visual follow me, GPS follow me, and visual object avoidance.I'm not a developer in any sense of the word, so looking for a platform that's far enough along to have…
"This must be a real kick in the guts to the Pixhawk 2.1 dev team. I can't imagine how much time, effort and money has gone into developing the hardware to take the Edison, and now this. I'd be pretty gutted."
