Another awesome video and it couldn’t have come at a better time. Just got done doing the AutoTune and setup on my CubeOrange dual Here2 680 Hex and now getting back to my 960 Hex that has the RFD 900x-US on it. This one is also a CubeOrange build but has two Here3’s on it so “Hopefully” these upcoming videos could incorporate some RTK stuff also so I can use my Here+ base unit with all this. Can’t tell you just how much I’ve learned from your Ardupilot build videos and being able to go back to them when I run into a problem. Your latest HereLink firmware update was one of them, after watching it multiple times and reading the many posts on the CubePilot form, I thought I was another person who was having trouble updating their Airunit until I caught the updated version numbers from your video and realized it did update after all. Massive Thank you for all your work.

Great video series, definitely helped with my radios. I did not notice the third video. Where are you set it up in Ardupilot period. Is there such one out yet?

@austntexan 2 жыл бұрын

Please consider doing something with their mesh network functionality. I've always wanted to see that demonstrated in practice. Love these radios. I've used them on the job and they are solid for UAV work.

@jayzo Жыл бұрын

I was told that you can't use the Mesh functionality with the TXMOD and but I feel as if there's a way around it as if you open the TXMOD up it's literally just the same radio in there, so if you removed the module and programmed it separately it _might_ be doable, however I make no guarantee om that working as I haven't tested it nor do I have the ability nor will to try it.

How would this differ (and be more advantageous) to the TBS Crossfire with mavlink over wifi?

I'm experiencing a lag issue with the RFD900x and RFD868ux radios. The HUD on the mission planner and the map update is very laggy. I've used RFD900+ earlier and it worked flawless. If I use these radios in the same system and same drone, I get different results in terms of latency. Any help regarding this?

@srnunan4783 2 жыл бұрын

I missed the overview, still left not getting the basics. So you linked two of these 900mhz modules, they have a 500kbps link, half duplex? Is there different tx and rx frequencies? What do you connect them to? One goes to flight controller but the other usb to gcs? I'm a bit lost as I've never used a radio link for ardupilot, I just use lte

Hi Mad's Tech a totally off the topic question.... I see a BEC on desk in front of you.. I'm guessing that it is the same one that you get with the Cube orange Is there a 12S or higher BEC that you know of, which is compatible with Cube Orange ?

@vincehogg8935 9 ай бұрын

Do you know if these 868 units work happily together with 868 RC control systems like Crossfire etc?

Got a slight problem on this end I’m hoping you can help me with… I have the RFD900x and out of the box both connected to power, I get a solid green LED however when connecting to RFD Tools v2.60, it fails to connect. I do get a COM Port assigned to the FTDI cable when it is plugged in. Any thoughts?

@MadRC 2 жыл бұрын

That’s odd. You 100% got the pinout correct when plugging into the module from the PC. You shoud be removing the jumper ?

@sherwoodp2738 2 жыл бұрын

@@MadRC I did not know the jumper has to be removed when connecting to the computer via FTDI cable. Does that hold true for the air unit also?

@sherwoodp2738 2 жыл бұрын

I tried connecting the laptop this time without the jumper and it still could not be seen by the Laptop. The green LED did not illuminate with the jumper removed. In the RF Tools, it appears to connect however when I press the Load Settings button, the error message “Failed to enter command mode. Try power-cycling modem.” I was successful in connecting a 3DR Mavlink Telemetry Rcvr/Xmtr to test and amazingly it worked as advertised. Your thoughts!

Is it possible to change the frequency in RFD 900x / 868x modem, for example from 900mhz to 868mhz? (change firmware)

Ardupilot newbie question: can‘t I just use crossfire telemetry? Thank you very much for your video Mad!

@NoFlyDrone 2 жыл бұрын

You could. Although the transceiver (air rx) is only outputting 40mw. Even though the crossfire tx can output 2w, you will lose signal due to the rx power. This stuff here is high-end way better.

Ofcom's rules are so opaque for radio usage, can we use the EU module at the full 500mW in the UK? I've seen in places we have to lower the power to 100mW and a 1% duty cycle.
