| Relay station! |
Introduction
Always liked the idea of being completely wireless on my ground station so I decided to try setting up a radio relay for my DragonLink LRS transmitter to my Taranis transmitter. The benifits of doing this are:
- Lighter transmitter
- Transmitter battery lasts longer
- No adverse range effect when you move the transmitter to different positions
- Ability to get maximum separation between LRS TX and video receivers
- Ability to sit in your nice air conditioned car while flying :)
Some of the potential drawbacks:
- Adds another system to take care of
- Adds an additional battery to charge and monitor
- Adds some delay to the control response
My Build
The components I had to buy and put together to set this up:
- FrSky X4R SBUS/CPPM receivers
- Frsky SBUD/CPPM Decoder
- 5v BEC
- 3S Lipo pack
- Light weight tripod
- Hardware bits to mount it all together
