DroidPlanner Telemetry Bluetooth Bridge

bt_bridge_1.jpgPleased 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'll look into throwing some instructions together :-)

    ok then,  lets go  diy style.just tell us what to do :)

  • 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" :-)

  • Nice work Steve, what kind of Bluetooth does this use? Fingers crossed it's BT-Low Energy?

    Good work Steven.

  • You mean between the Aircraft and the Bridge ?  The Radio is an XBEE radio link.

  • How did you get UART out of the telemetry module?
