Well this is using Mission Planner ground control software, its fairly basic really. Just plug in the USB, calibrate all axis, and setup which buttons on the joystick control which functions of the drone... I am using a Pixhawk Autopilot from 3DR here.
Hey, nice4 work. Long time but I am interested on it. I have some questions about Mission Planner. You calibrate joystick in Mission Planer, ok, and then you have connected the TX via USB to the PC, and the RX to Flight Controler. My Question is, do you know the RFD900, I think this device works on the same way right? I should connect the RFD900 via _USB to the PC, connect the Joystick via USB to the PC, setup everything in Mission Planner, and that is all?
I know this is an older video, but how do you send the joystick controls to the multirotor? Is the rc controller hooked up to the computer or are you sending the signals over 433/900mhz radio?
Hi Jon Neubs ! So the Joystick was connected via USB to my laptop which was running my groundstation software, ‘Mission Planner’. The signal was then sent out over the 433/900 MHz data radio link.
Gwyne Gomez - correct, it is true that the transmitter is not actually needed to fly & control the drone in this setup. However I always had it nearby just as a backup.
Hi Evelyn, one radio transceiver was actually plugged into the computer via USB, the other was plugged into the flight control board on the drone. I used the data radios from 3DRobotics: 3dr.com/blog/introducing-the-new-3dr-radio-d68c7b4b6a69/

Tolles Video!
Ist das Ihr selbstgebauter Quadrocopter???

It was ok for automated missions, but I found there was a little too much latency for accurate real time manual flying
So in this APM setup basically you don't have to have a transmitter (like turnigy 9x or frsky) just use the air to ground modules?

Hi Tim .
Which is the receiver and transmitter on the joystick
Hi Evelyn, one radio transceiver was actually plugged into the computer via USB, the other was plugged into the flight control board on the drone. I used the data radios from 3DRobotics:

@@timdavies9494 Do you know RFD900? It would be the same right?
@@grhosso Yes, it is probably very similar to the RFD900 data radio! I'm sure that would work just fine too
I can not set to use button. Please kind advise, TIM.
Jakkrich Srithongchai I made this video 2.5 years ago and honestly cannot remember the fine details of the software config. Sorry mate
