Pleased with the way this has turned out for a Saturday project :-)
It compliments Arthur Benemanns DroidPlanner app to give a wireless link between the aircrafts radio and a Bluetooth connection to the Android tablet.
- Its fitted with a 1000mah LiPo battery and charge circuit which is chargeable by a small USB slot at the bottom of the unit.
- Ultrabright LEDs for the power and Bluetooth link for sunny days.
- BT LED blinks when there is no connection and goes solid when connection is made.

I may have to get a 3DR radio now to integrate it onto the PCB giving the option to either plug in a 3DR radio or XBEE.
Anyone have an injection moulding machine :-D
What's the range. I think it would nice to put the module up on a twenty foot mast for good reception.
Very cool Steven. Please post instructions or offer for sale. :)
I've been dabbling with this myself, but nearly as nice! And screen printed too! I imagine you could easily sell 1000+ of these units.
Id like to make one of those for the 3DR radios, really cool.
I'll look into throwing some instructions together :-)
If I knew there was the demand, I would look to make a unit that was compatible with 3DRs radio and also the XBEE, so you could have what ever radio module you wanted.
But I would have to get the ABS cases, PCBs ready made etc etc which means investment.
When are you going to start selling them?
Thank you all. Yes it is low energy and also programmed so when a device is looking for a Bluetooth connection, it sees it as "DroidPlanner" :-)
You mean between the Aircraft and the Bridge ? The Radio is an XBEE radio link.
