Increased range of bluetooth module #46

Closed litrosy closed 4 years ago

litrosy commented 4 years ago

Hi @wernerdaehn , I'm wondering if there is any other bluetooth module option that would have a range greater than 100m or some other two-way communication solution. It would be useful to have a range at least equal to the largest rope reel, 200m.

What do you think?

The normal CC3D Revo has a OPLink 733MHz long range wireless module. I wanted to utilize that as well but it is not that straight forward, hence never started writing that code module.

Um, yeah. That would really be something. I mean, as it is now, it's fine. Is there any chance of getting caught up in that? What range are we talking about, do you think it would be 200m?

With it's peek power output of 100mW, using good quality antennas, useful range spans over 2km.

That would be something! Too bad that its integration is a big problem. With such a range, it would certainly cover the many scenarios and needs that may arise in the field. Of course, this is not bad either. It's great to have such a long range with bluetooth. If you ever get some free time... That would be huge. Really great work and research so far!
