Android RC Control/Headtracker for MultiWii

Post by MichalM_sk »

Hello,

after a long time I'm back in multiwii scene.
I have had some health problems so my interresting about multiwii went out of me.

This is android app for MultiWii to full control mwc or camera via Accelerometer & Multitouch functions & BlueTooth of android device. First test without telemetry data. Application & patch for multiWii will be published on the Android Market.

Video of current dev version.

HI!

Cool project but controlling over BT is quite limited in range...

Hi,

YES but if you use bluetooth module on TX side of OPEN LRS rc system (with wireless serial port) and serial port on RX side connect to Multiwii so the problem with a range is solved :)

could you explain how to do this thing ?
connecting bluetooth over RC transmition ?

your application seems to be awesome and maybe sur a lot of people like this :)

do you think it's possible to plug your android on trainer port (with jack adapter) of our radiocommand and push ppm signal into her ?

Hi,
open LRS allow transmit serial data also, so it doesnt require a ppm injection only openlrs tx and rx module + bluetooth connected to TX.
But it isnt a problem develop bluetooth to ppm adapter for trainer port.

yes solution on trainer port will be more interesting, because for Openlrs need 140$ for en tx /rx kit, i think it's a bit more expensive for this...

Hi,

I use this PCBs http://shop.ulrichradig.de/Leiterplatten/AVR-RFM22-Module.html(board only, click "Link zum Projekt" to get eagle files) and a slightly modded SW (pins changed). Costs are ~15€ per unit. Nice thing about Openlrs is that it´s open & Arduino based. I build one with a PS2 Gamepad as input for the 1/16 car of my son (4) because the 27MHz pistol with 8 AA batteries was to heavy for him.
If you just want a serial to ppm converter you coud use a normal Arduino and parts from the Olrs-SW (serial input capture from TX,PPM sum output routines from the RX, serial BlueTooth is transparent) to be compatible with MichalM_sk´s App.

I guess using an APC 220 modules would be cheaper and simpler option to extend the range for bluetooth, I found a pair for 33$ here
