Fixed Wing UAV Build
SO im looking at building a fixed wing UAV, but the information out there is overwhelming and confusing to say the least, Im basically looking for a shopping list to achieve a few goals but not sure if its possible. Im looking to do the following. I realize this may require some soldering, and I see some build also use too batteries to dedicate more power to the ESCs for longer fligts....ugh so much data
1. VTX of course (maybe using a split for DVR and/or a Go Pro in addition to main camera) 2. Servo to allow head tracking or at least 3 axis control using transmitter 3. DVR (on board or on the ground) 4. GPS (for loiter and Failsafe) 5. Flight Controller (thinking Matek with iNAV…though I would LOVE an Eagle tree at somepoint) 6. Taranis Telmetery (the inav has some great stuff, but I dont know if I can use MP with it, so PixHawk may work) 7. OSD ( I love Eagle tree as I said, I know I can get telemetry to Tarans via s.bus, but I dont think I can get GPS overlay and Mission Planning to track the flight) 8. video feed for FPV ground station on a monitor 9. Tracking on Mission planner laptop (or ideally a phone app, but not sure that’s possible) 10. **Wish list item BlueTooth for remote programming of FC 11. I would like 1-3 miles + so TBS or R9M module for Taranis 12. Antennae tracking down the line (which I know Eagle trees supports, but dont know about other options) Anyhow....basically looking to build a UAV that has some of the features of say the DJI app or the 3DR solo app had, where you can track the whole flight...so any help to build a shopping list would be amazing....as well as advice or suggestions to do this right. Thanks so much, appreciate it. |
