Re: [Paparazzi-devel] nav.h missing? SOLVED

wow ... 4w is much power.
Please, when you have idea on how much long you can fly using this solution ... tell me.

Today i can fly more than 4km using 600mw 5.8ghz fatshark clone transmitter with good video signal.

i like this digital video system but its too expansive.

So far it looks that the receiver has the same or better sensitivity with it's analog counterpart.
The real testing will be done in a few weeks over the sea.
In ground testing with and without obstacles  i lost video at about the same or slightly more distance than the analog tx of comparable power which is very promising.
Fhss also works well as seen on a spectrum analyser, the moving scene video quality is very nice and latency is small enough at ~150-200 ms.
I wouldn't fly fpv with it but ~200 ms are not bad for watching around.
I have also noticed some dropped frames but i need to do some more testing.
The strong point of this system is that you can use a common power bidirectional wifi amplifier
to increase range (i now use 4w of rf power measured) and interference on the airplane is far less
than the analog video tx.
I successfully used an 2.4 ghz rc receiver along with this 2.4 ghz video transmitter (at +18dbm) with no ill effects on rc range.

Hi Chris, how many meter  you can get with this video solution ?

Hi.
I found a cheap 2.4 ghz frequency hopping video to mpeg4 converter with very nice quality and sensitivity that i coupled with a bidirectional 2.4 ghz amplifier and the airborne tracking antenna.
Initial test showed very good results.

Beware that although the item is real i can't say the same for the transaction.
Aliexpress is the only source for it right now i think.

The telemetry is done with the usual 9xtend modems and now i am about to test this

Hi Chris. Can you give me some pointers on how to implement digital video  and secure telemetry?

He he he  your guess is correct.
The code i am flying is heavily altered towards a fixed wing platform.
For example i am working on a safety algorithm that guides the airplane back home when gps is lost. When gps is lost (interference etc.) the airborne directional antenna(s) are used for guiding the airplane back home with the aid of the compass, the barometer and any available RSSI indication.
Of course telemetry and video are now digital and encoded.

Hi Chris,

yes, I moved it to firmwares/fixedwing, as it is fixedwing specific stuff...

But I still wonder why you got this error, I changed it accordingly in all sources... Did I miss something or was that in some of your own code?

Cheers, Felix

I found it, nav.h moved to "firmwares/fixedwing/nav.h" (for fixedwings of course)
