DroidPlanner Telemetry Bluetooth Bridge

Posted by Tissy on November 28, 2013 at 7:52am

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.

bluetooth, droidplanner

Any tablet that has bluetooth and runs Android OS. The tablet featured is the Google Nexus 7.

It might be worth 3D printing a case for it.

Perfect timing!

I was just about to research on how to get my kindle fire HD to display data while flying as i don't want to lug around a laptop!

Im a new user to APM, so i have no telementry just yet! A DIY would be amazing if you can sort one out? Make sure you leave a paypal link so we can donate!
