FPV EasyStar and Antenna Tracker operational
No comments · Posted by Michael in EasyStar FPV, FPV
My FPV EasyStar and the Antenna Tracker are full operational now.
Take-off weight is now 1060g with 3S1P 3200mAh battery.
The AVR antenna tracker with 1.2GHz patch, 868MHz Yagi for GPS data down-link. On the LCD the actual aircraft position is show as well as height and slant range. Data about GPS mode and satellites and also the tracker battery voltage.
Schematic, board layout and source code for the tracker controller are available for download on the FPV equipment page.
I decited to upgrade my FPV antenna tracker with a nice LCD to show some GPS data received from the aircraft.
More on the FPV Equipment page.
Today my EasyStar completed the maiden flight.
Weather was nice, not to cold but wind could be less. With nose in the wind and motor off it was sometimes possible to stand in the air.
The flight was a non-FPV, even without any FPV equipment.
I finished my hardware design for the Remzibi OSD.
Size of the PCB remains the same like the original one, 46x25mm. Heigth is about 7mm.
The bottom side is almost flat and suitable to add a recommented heatsink for the MAX7456 and L2940.
Schematic, layout and Gerber files will be available soon.
[Update]
The Remzibi OSD Hardware page is online:
