Proposal to use the Spektrum satellite Receivers directly.
SpektrumSatellite, UAVX

Updated Aug 21, 2010 by jesol...@gmail.com

Introduction

The Mikrokopter has developed code for using only the satellite Rx with a DX6, DX7 and the Futaba and JR TX modules. We should be able to do the same.

Details

Benefits: Lighter Rx. Cost $29. Diversityy 2.4Ghz Rx.

The composite PPM signal would hook up to a pin on the K12 connector.

How to modify the irq.c file: This has been determined not to be a good path due to processing requirements.

I have looked at this possibility and because of the data rates it would certainly require a slave processor to capture and translate the signals to the serial PPM format. This could be achieved reasonably easily using a 12C675 embedded in the satellite Rx's lead. Added to the list!

Also please see the issues WIKI for more development detail.

See the Issues tab for the Spektrum remote adapter plans and code provided by ReM.
