i want to test your project as i think its a great idea, but im not sure which hardware would be the best for my case? (i need 868mhz 100mw at least) i really want to have the bluetooth connection with at least 30m range instead of an OTG Cable (for nice real-word positioning).. any advice which one to choose?

thanks :)

Most people seem to have most success with the Heltech boards. I don't have any direct links, but try to find one that offers an IPEX antenna connector. Makes it easy to connect a proper antenna, not the BS ones they seem to include. I'd recommend this one: https://www.banggood.com/Original-FrSky-868MHz-Dipole-T-Antenna-IPEXI-for-R9-Slim-Slim-Receiver-LBT-Version-RC-Drone-p-1380277.html?rmmds=search&cur_warehouse=GWTR

Yes, that should be fine. I'm not sure if this is a V1 or V2 Heltech, but I have firmware for both.

spleenware commented 4 years ago

I'm soon to release a new Bluetooth build for these boards (BLE, that is).
