May I suggest using semi-stationary blimps as repeaters for long-distance applications?

Excellent! Thank you for posting this! I have been looking for people playing with the Carambola. I would like to grab a couple for projects of my own. Looks like its probably time!

@moshack If to talk about long range… go for ligowave products. Check this blog http://blog.ligowave.com/. It can easily reach 10 km with stock antenna.

@axodus GUI was written by Ardupilot team. I have implemented telemetry over LAN/WiFi and tested in the field.

impressive project you got here :)
can you give me some tips or details about how you build the telemetry GUI.
i tried to implement a similar software but couldn’t find the right controls for the telemetry data (niddel gauge, signal graph, video display etc..).
thanks, axodus.

great job…
I agree with tufan, i think for greater distance you can use external wifi device such as ubiquity bullet radio, it support mimo (mimo capable) and power to 1 watt.

[...] you fly the thing around like any RC vehicle. But [Saulius] is augmenting his control system by pulling and displaying telemetry data. It doesn’t really change the way the vehicle is controller, but it lets the craft roam much [...]

Rana, what distance can you cover with 1W amplifier? Does it work in MIMO mode?

Alternative:
Approach – 1:
If you open up your Laptop, you will find a Wi-Fi module, which has hot UFL antenna port.
With a UFL to SMA, you can connect this port to an external Wi-Fi amplifier may be 1Watt available in 50US$ at DIY Drones store, and achieve much much longer range.

Approach-2:
Put a regular Wi-Fi router nearby, this Wi-Fi router generally have SMA antenna port, and you can hook 1Watt Wi-Fi amplifier as said above and get the same thing but in this case, you can get rid of opening your Laptop.

I my self opted for Approach 1

Tufan, Sure you can use internal laptops WiFi, but Carambola has more powerful radio and you can connect external antenna, which means greater distance.

why did u use the second Carambola device as ground station? I guess ur laptop’s internal Wi-Fi would act as the same, right?
best regards,
