thUndeadMod v3.4 - openLRS S**T just got real :)

[Coyote]

OK I'm back from my range test using OpenLRS and Thundeads code

To be honest, i`m disappointed :(

Disappointed I didn't have enough petrol or LOS left !!!! :)

Point to note during ground test :

1) This was a ground to ground test
2) TX was at 433MHz
3) Tx antenna was a Diamond SRH771 SMA 433MHz
4) Hopping was 5 channels
5) A GoPro was on and recording through the whole test
6) Gopro was 12" from the OpenLRS Rx
7) My OpenLRS antenna was not fitted as recommended directly to the Rx but on a 24" RG318 tail
8) 5.8ghz vtx was running the whole test with a linear antenna so to cause as much effect on results as possible. It shouldn't, but anything that was gong to be switched on while flying was.

The result was .............. Inconclusive ! But i will edit and attach in this post the pictures and video of the test showing at 4.352km ground to ground, OpenLRS had ZERO glitches at a RSSI voltage of 1.36 !!!

Oh yes, no failsafes, and strong RSSI at 4.35km !

I first took the plane out the car at 3.2km and it showed RSSI of 1.40

Least to say, I'm impressed, very impressed in fact :)

The plane was glitching in the metal cars interior obviously most the time past 2km, but as soon as it was out the Faraday cage all back to normal. I was glad this was happening, it proved that the OpenLRS had not froze but was indeed going from failsafe back to connected

So, ground test on OpenLRS with Thundead V3.3 code 4.352km +

Google earth claims 4.4km

Glad you had good results Coyote, all we need to do is get some air range tests.... I plan to fly this coming weekend if the weather holds.

Me too if my Vtx`s turn up :)

I think today has show me, and others too, that OpenLRS is more than capable of reliably controlling your plane on legal UK channel's and within power limits without any worry at all your going to ever run out of range at all. Which really was the whole point of it for 459mhz users.

[thundead]

yup :)

Is anyone using the openLRS with a spektrum or JR radio?

thanks

I am using with a DX8. Works very well and is very easy to do. I did post earlier in this thread giving some details.
