You should be able to connect another esp8266 using the tx rx or the camera port of the Pluto flight controller . Give a goggle search about drone bridge . It use esp8266 or esp32 to connect any drones working on msp protocol
Check with drona support if they can repair . Or if you don’t want to send your flight controller then you can check the project book turtle mode project and use the h bridge motors to fly the drone .
Yes your experience is similar to mine . It connects but does not work . When connect from usb it’s in STM boot mode (dfu). I used ez gui Android app . It’s works more or less
Yes you should be , I read somewhere in the FAQS . BUT have not tried myself
If you see the FC comparison table in the hardware section , the STM processors also look different , so I am not sure sure if the same firmware would work . If you manage to solder unibus you can try flashing Primus x firmware to test .
Hi ,
I have the guru drone which is essentially big quad hardware , FC is stripped down version of V4 . It comes with 1200mah battery
I Hardly flown twice since I purchased , everytime the motor wire soldering comes off . I got one arm replaced and now another is off . Waiting for drona avaition to help . Not satisfied with big quad .
With regards to battery its like lottery purchasing from online vendors
Where can we get the 800mah battery ? As I can find it on the spares website .
I think u need Primus X flight controller to add the sensors
Is there any way to control the flip direction ?
Hi ,
720 motors will fit the frame , but the motors need to have the 1.25 pin jst connector so that you can use them .
I have used 8520 sized motors on a 3d printed frame . If you have access to a 3d printer then you can make lots of drone using thr pluto FC .
contact me , I can help you on the same
Hi,
Wifi connection is hit or miss on windows10 Chrome. Sometime it works sometimes does not .
As per my observation the Flight controller remains in DFU mode on connecting to laptop via USB. I have tried installing all the drivers .
SPRacing F3 Evo board shows up without issues on connecting via USB and goes into DFU mode only when trying to flash firmware from Clean flight. In ports it has a VCP/USB port open for MSP .May that needs to be added/activated on Pluto Flight Controller .Kindly suggest
Thanks , I have sent him a mail . FPV racing drones or setup is very expensive in India and this could really bring the experience to those people who don’t want to spend lots of money upfront just to get experience . Existing tool set of pluto is adequate to implement the same . A vr mode on the Pluto controller app which can be activated after connecting joystick is is more than enough to convert pluto to a fpv drone .
Is there any Android app other than pluto controller or any api which can be used to stream the video from pluto ?
I was planning to make an app which could stream the video in split screen mode and could be used with a Google cardboard for VR .
It would be an awesome introduction to poor man’s FPV . A joystick or rc transmitter connected to pluto controller on one phone and another phone running the spilt screen video used in Google cardboard for FPV .January 23, 2021 at 10:31 am in reply to: Connecting PlutoX via USB/WIFI to Pluto Configurator #5141Hi ,
I was able to connect to pluto configurator via wifi after disconnecting the camera and using the drone wifi . But the connection is very buggy .Will update if I make progress on the USB connection .
Hi,
Which Ultrasonic sensor do you have ? assuming its HCSR04 , I can help you with code . I have used the same in micro python . The logic is as below .
code used in micropython
def get_distance():pcf.pin(0,0)
utime.sleep_us(2)
pcf.pin(0,1)
utime.sleep_us(20)
while pcf.pin(0)==0:
pass
t1=utime.ticks_us()
while pcf.pin(0)==1:
pass
t2= utime.ticks_us()
cm= (t2-t1)/58.0
print(cm)
return cmi will receive the my drone tomorrow then may be can help with Pluto blocks
