If you are close enough a wet towel is an antenna - old radio wisdom.;)

I'm happy have the CGO3+ camera fully working on Thunderbird now; pan, tilt, pan mode, and tilt mode. I have changed pan mode "Position" (middle position of the switch) to "Angle" which is the same H520/E90 has on this position. I placed the ESP32 outside because a nodeMCU is too big to have it...

The examples are made to receive data as the drone apps do. We need a protocol to send.

Do you have an example sketch for Remote ID? Is there an open source solution? As far as I know the it needs the open_drone_ID MAV messages. This is not yet available in older drones from Yuneec.

No. Yes, that is what the flight controller responses. Currently I do not know who is doing that. Since Yuneec Kaltenkirchen is out of service the support is very bad. kopterbude.ch has not got the official Yuneec tool but he is trying to get it. I hope he will ... The is a repair service in...

The new corrected and updated H480_GUI is now available at my download area: http://h-elsner.mooo.com/html/downl.htm Source code is available in GitHub: https://github.com/h-elsner/H480_GUI The license file handling is now as follows: No license file in home folder: NFZ buttons not visible...

The amber light is probably the LED on the receiver SR24. It will be solid when RC is connected, blinking when RC is not connected yet (Receiver is waiting for connection) and fast blinking when the drone is in Bind-Mode.

The connector of the E90 camera is the same as many other (like CGO3+). It uses 4 of the contacts: - Ground (-), Vbat (+) from the flight battery 3S or 4S - and a serial connection between flight controller and camera mRx is the input of the flight controlle (Tx of the camera) and mTx/PWM is...

830 is the magic value for the CGO3+ pan mode Angle. Here is my list so far: F: 683 - camera points forward as i would be mounted fix. A: 830 - camera points to an angle depending on position of the pan knob T: 1433 - team mode. Don't know exactly what it is doing but this values is visible in...

My problem comes and goes. The Power supply is stable (no contact problem at the camera mount) but the gimbal initializes (one beep and the success melody when it levels) or even not, no beep, no reaction, camera still powered and working.

I have the same here. This is a problem of the app with newer Android versions. You need an older phone.

Now I try to get the script above working with an ESP01 to connect the camera in my Thunderbird. I hope it will work. Otherwise I will use the ESP32 to tilt and pan the camera of the Thunderbird. One feature more for it.

The redundancy channel can also be used (control the CGO3+ gimbal without SR24 at all - only for ST16): /* This device acts as controller for the CGO3+ ST16. The processor reads the channel data from ST16 and send following data via control message to CGO3+: - pan - tilt - pan mode - tilt mode...

This is a good idea. I will check if this is doable. The project above is only a part of the planned realization which by the way is also usable for the Thunderbird mod to get control of the CGO3+ gimbal (not only tilt).
