Setting up FPV monitor

New improvements! Now we have mounted the FVP monitor onto the receiver so it's easier to look at it.

We have also included a sun-blocking screen to avoid sun reflection when outside.

On the back side we mounted the video link receiver so now everything is tied together.

FPV + Wireless telemetry

We finally put all the pieces together FPV (RF 5.8GHz link ) and wireless telemetry (Bluetooth) are working really good.

Components used are:

• 5" LCD Monitor (used for rear view cam on cars) - USD 23
• Boscam TS351+RC805 5.8G FPV 200mW AV Transmitter + Receiver - USD 56.99
• Multiwii MWC FC Bluetooth Module Programmer - USD 7.49
• GoPro HERO 3 video cable - USD 1.99 

UPDATED: 

There are some Android apps out there (such as Multiwii EZ-GUI) that will let you check and setup your Multiwii parameters through you Bluetooth connection, and access information on the field.

This is specially important when you try to tune your PID values for stable flight modes, Altitud hold and GPS hold, because these settings can only be determined by trial and error.

New components arrived

To keep improving our quad design and functionality, we have ordered several components that have just arrived!

-A new LiPo A-Spec battery with more storage and peak discharge capacity. This newly launched model form Turnygy promises better performance and capacity in a lightweight and small pack.

-A Bluetooth module to let us upgrade and configure the software without having to connect any cable.

-Props replacements (we learned the hard way that propellers brake really often)

-Vibration dampening balls. This will be used at some point to mount the camera.

-USB to composite video cable for GoPro Hero 3. This cable will let us connect the camera to the FPV video transmitter.

-FPV (first person view) 5.8 GHz transmitter and receiver + a small portable LCD screen.

We will post more pictures and videos of the assembly process.
