Hey there,
my goal is to send long values like pixel values to my drone. I came to the idea to use an arduino that sends ppm signals to my transmitter (turnigy9x). The problem is that a channel is not big enough to send large values like 1080. I gues it's only from -100 to 100. Also i need to send two values because a pixel has also two. So what can i do?
Hopefully my question is clearr
Thank you!
send long values to a drone with a transmitter?
Re: send long values to a drone with a transmitter?
Nothing in the control link is meant to send an exact numeric value so that's not suitable without some custom encoding scheme.

Wasn't there a project on here at some point that allowed you to send data to the plane via a channel.
Some sort of pulsing control to multiplex multiple 'extra' channels in one high channel?

Slope Soaring, FPV, and pretty much anything 'high tech'

Yes, I remember that too. AFAIK they could send 4-5 bits of data at a time with replicated cycles as there's no real means of synchronization.

If using FrSky 'X' gear, so SPort telemetry, what about a couple of the UART sensors, then you get a serial communication stream.
