Hello!
This is my first post - so I hope I do it right!
I’m developing a full featured radio control system for models and I’m wondering if anyone else is interested.
I’m using Teeny 4.1 in the transmitter, and a Teensy 4.0 in the receiver. I use a clone version of the nRF24L01+ transceivers, which is screened and
Much more powerful than the original, giving a range of about 2 kilometers.
The features I’ve implemented so far are:
8 channels
4 flight modes
User definable 5 point curves on all channels and modes.
FHSS with my own method of identifying and avoiding busy channels in real time.
16 mixes
99 model memories
TX Modes 1 and 2
Timer
Binding
Full waveband graphic scanner.
Telemetry
Four Definable three-way switches.
GUI on a Nextion 5” screen.
PID gains editor - on the transmitter.
So far, I’ve flown some planes and a quadcopter with it. No problems.
I’m now refining the PID stabilisation because I want it to be also a flybarless system for helicopters.
Later I’d like to add Gps, autopilot, and waypoint/return to home functionality.
It’s a perfect lockdown project.
I’m considering making it open-source, and this really depends on whether anyone is interested.
Ultimately it might equal or exceed commercial offerings, while being significantly cheaper to put together, and infinitely flexible as we have the source code.
Oh - and huge fun of course.
Is anyone interested?
