Yes, I wanted a bigger and better monitor also but is limited to my area as the laptop is blocking. For a bigger monitor you may need a wider case for more space.
You could cut holes for the word to your radio boxes so the wires are behind and not routed down from the top. You could also make trim pieces to cover the wire outlets. A heavier first coat of paint helps avoid that streaky look you were fighting.
Hi travistucker. Yes, this ground control station needs room for improvement. This is just the basic setup for something functional. I routed the cables on top as I may need to extend the radios on a tripod for later long range setup. As for the paint, your right. A thicker primer would have a better outcome. Thank you for the recommendation. And thank you for watching.
@LyndonsWorkshop no hate. I meant nothing bad. I'm just trying to give some tips. I think you did really well. I was going to type that, but my kid got her arm stuck in the gate, and i clicked post, i even thought about it after. Such is life.
@LyndonsWorkshop if you were going to use longer cables on occasion, you could use surface mount connectors and cables from here to there. Many solutions, really. Painting is never fun to me, i always have to do 30 coats to get the look i want
@@travistucker7317 . Not at all. I welcome tips. That’s how I learn by adapting to other people’s ideas. This video was actually taken 5 years ago and only able to post it this year after a much needed rest from work. I just post it to add on to my collection of videos and was amazed it got thousand of views. I just don’t understand how youtube algorithm works. Take note I am 5 years younger than my other videos.😁
@Emillsmailov. Thank you. I’m just using a generic one I got from amazon. I think they are just rated 400 meters distance. But you should be able to get longer distance telemetry radios depending on your application.
Hi Hazimjamil. I bought it at harbor freight. The model is Apache 4800. It’s roughly around 20x15x8 inches. It would be nice if you go with the models with wheels.
Hey, I've been flying model airplanes since the 90's and I'm very familiar with current transmitter/receiver tech. I'm trying to figure out how Ardupilot works with a ground station like this in conjunction with a 2.4Ghz transmitter. I know you can run Ardupilot from a windows based PC and code custom buttons and joysticks and what not. But why are you burying a transmitter in the bottom of that case and why do you have an elastic holding the right stick up like that? Does that transmitter override any commands sent from the PC or something?
Hi AnthonyCelata. I'm flying my quadcopter with a telemetry radio only, to run my experiments. Although recommended to have the 2.4Ghz transmitter as a backup, it is not necessary due to existing failsafes (such as return to launch, etc.)if signal is lost. I did include the 2.4Ghz transmitter in the video just to show the sufficient storage space below but I'm not using using it during flight. Also the rubber is just to pull the stick to the side as it is protruding.😁
Hi GoldenCoastGTA. If you are into ardupilot or pixhawk based drones(Quadcopters, fixed wings, rover). This is a control station to command your drones.
@@urPainYT . I’m not an expert on drones but I’ll try to share my experience along the way on this field as raw and understandable as I can. I try to show the hobby not just the success but also the failures. Thanks.
So basically you made a laptop case to hold everything, but you can't take out what you want, because everything is screwed down. How is that better than just a laptop bag, where you only take out what you need at that moment? This makes.....no sense to me.
Now build a table that doesn't wobble like a jelly 😁
Yes. I finally got rid of that pvc table. 😂
Lol😅lol😅 u know u wrong for that one hahaahahahahah tooo funny
Well done man! Amazing work, this content is unbelievably underrated
@apollonpotoudis9337. Thank you. Just sharing my hobby to fellow creators out there.
That’s awesome , I’ve been looking for something like this, I want the same thing except a larger monitor

@@travistucker7317 I get you. Painting and glueing is not fun. I just dont have the patience to wait for the next coating.
"I then spray painted it black to make it look intimidating." LOL love it.
@scardoso95. Thank you for watching. I’m glad some people see my humor. 😁
It looks super Dope, well done
Thank you. And thank you for watching!
Nice video shot, well done, thank you for sharing it with us :)
Your welcome. Thank you for watching.
Nice job
looking details.
Nice dude!
Thank you
Great work! What telemetry radio are you using?
@Emillsmailov. Thank you. I’m just using a generic one I got from amazon. I think they are just rated 400 meters distance. But you should be able to get longer distance telemetry radios depending on your application.
Well done man - very impressive - but what was the total cost in the end?
Do you have a list of the components you used?
ur still using a very old th9x! cool
Open question. 05:28 what software is on the laptop for drone monitoring?
Sorry for the late reply. I used mission planner for the telemetry. You could also use Qgroundcontrol as what engineers usually use.
Ground Control to Major Tom - David Bowie
it was a holy ghost rock and roll in jesus name
Hi! What epoxy did you use?
Hey can get ur help with something like this? I got some questions and I can't seem to get anyone to help me with em or where to go and get the help.
Now he can start All Nukes.
Can you share the build parts list?
Adapt a joy stick. There are a lot of private pilots who has not grown up gaming.
Sub.
Whered the monitor come from
Hi aaronmarkstaller. It’s s as cheap one from amazon. I’m sure there are better ones now a days.
Hi, can i have your box sizing?
Hi Hazimjamil. I bought it at harbor freight. The model is Apache 4800. It’s roughly around 20x15x8 inches. It would be nice if you go with the models with wheels.

Can someone hack the controlling system of drone i mean like Stealing the drone?

eyy 70th like, because 69 is..
