How to Set Up ImmersionRC Ghost GPS Telemetry for FPV
ImmersionRC Ghost 2.4GHz long-range LoRa based radio system was announced a year ago and is available on the market for only a little shorter. In this time, ImmersionRC put quite an of effort into making it better, but for unknown reasons always ignored one very important aspect of a long-range radio control link: telemetry!

QmuBeacon – ESP32 and LoRa based GPS recovery beacon and locator
Having a broken leg, limited mobility, and paid sick leave have some perks after all. I’ve finally found some free time to sit on the project I started, I think, two years ago: ESP32, LoRa based GPS beacon, and locator. You know, put it on an airplane and have a way to get the distance…

FlySky FRM302 & FTR16S AFHDS3 – The Ultimate 2.4GHz Long-Range Radio System
ImmersionRC Ghost is the new long-range 2.4GHz radio system that is getting the most traction in the media in the last few days. However, IRC Ghost is not the first 2.4GHz SX1280/SX1281 LoRa based radio system that has hit the market. FlySky FRM302 TX module and FlySky FTR16S AFHDS3 receiver are available since May 2020,…

Radiomaster TX16S Teardown – let’s see what’s inside!
Radiomaster TX16S is one of the most exciting premieres of the first half of 2020. Not only it establishes itself as a second most wanted radio transmitter on the market (right behind radios made by FrSky), it brings a few very interesting features to the table as well. Some of them are: Today, let’s open…

The best RC radio transmitters for Q2 2020
The last year was a good year in terms of new radio transmitters. It’s no longer a choice between FlySky and FrSky. We have new players and new products. Below is my, very subjective, overview of the most interesting radios on the market. Still the best – FrSky X10S Horus In my very personal opinion,…

How to make 868MHz or 915MHz dipole antennas for FrSky R9 or TBS Crossfire receivers
The correct length of 868/915MHz antennas used by FrSky R9 and TBS Crossfire is: From time to time FrSky has a big problem with cutting their antennas to a correct length. Good thing, you can make your own TBS Crossfire RX antennas for cheap! In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to build your very own…

LoRa versus FSK modulation signal spectrum
LoRa modulation is a wireless communication technique designed for long-range, low-power data transmission. It is based on Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS) modulation, which spreads the signal over a wide frequency range, making it robust against interference and noise. This technology is particularly useful for Internet of Things (IoT) applications, where devices need to communicate over…

DIY RC radio link: the problem of protocols
So, you want to build your own RC radio system? Long range maybe? Cool, I want to do it too. Since I’m pretty deep in that topic now, I can give you a hint or two. For example, have you thought about a protocol your radio system will implement? Or rather should I say: protocols?…
