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.

Possible to make this work with RFD900?
Nice packaging. For those wanting a dig way, look here for a 3dr telemetry Bluetooth bridge:http://www.diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/3dr-telemetry-module-recycl...
Nice....I just started ordering bits before seeing his to do one too.
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.
Yeah, I would only want one for 3dr. No point running on 2.4Ghz when all my control is on it.
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.
:D shut up and take my money!
nice work!
