Open source firmware
AT commands for radio configuration
RT commands for remote radio configuration
Adaptive flow control when used with APM
Based on the HopeRF HM-TRP radio module, featuring an SiLabs Si1000 RF microcontroller.
Upgraded to more convince Molex 1.25mm
2Km range is only possible when used in proper weather condition, very low air data rate and line of sight Ground Air. With default settings and full transmit power on both ends the range is around 300-500 meters
This Telemetry radio set allows you to link to a flight controller such as our Ardupilot Mega 2.6 or Multiwii AIO via a USB equipped device such as a computer, laptop or tablet supporting a USB connection (OTG). The Radio set not only lets you see live data such as live GPS position overlaid on a map (if the flight controller has the GPS option) to system voltage, heading, waypoint navigation even artificial horizon and so much more, using open source MAVlink based ground station software. You can even fly your aircraft with a joystick via your computer and update settings live! Or just use it for your DIY projects that needs a wireless Serial interface. This kit offers a great low price, longer range (approx one mile with supplied antennas) and superior performance. The system utilizes the 433Mhz band and provides a full-duplex link using HopeRF’s HM-TRP modules running custom, open source, firmware.
The SiK firmware includes a bootloader that permits radio firmware upgrades over the serial interface, and configuration of system parameters. Firmware upgrades and configuration are fully supported in the APM Mission Planner. Configuration is also possible through the 3DR Radio configurator and AT commands.
Band: 433MHz
Antenna connectors: RP-SMA connector
Output power: 100mW (20dBm), adjustable between 1-20dBm
