Need a budgetish option to get a plane FC connected to my ground station (which for convenience, might be my phone most of time, also mayby a laptop some of time)
1km range is what I would need, unlikely to end up needing any more than a max of 5km (this is not a long-range plane, but it would eat through 300m pretty quickly, from my current choice of the mRo SiK Telemetry Radio V2)
Nope, but I want ground station connection capability
Someone said I should use that SiK telemetry for ground station and Yaapu Lua for my “simple” flight sessions when I just want to fly around.
(apparently the SiK radios have bit more range then advertised)
That means that more-or-less this discussion is useless unless a better option than SiK telem radios appears by tommorow morning/later in morning when I’ll be buying what I decided to buy (Inc SiK telem radios, FC, etc)
I completely agree about mRo SIK hardware. It’s been excellent for me as well. I don’t fly BLOS, but I’d trust it to range test for such an application.
mLRS is promising, also, but I have no experience using it.
Crossfire rx nano diversity and the full tx with Bluetooth will do this. The crossfire Tx will pass through the mavlink data to the PC over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
A better solution is dragon link, but that’s pricey.
The cheapest would be expresslrs with yappu Lua script running on you OpenTx radio. But no PC ground station.
