Hello ACC RF Forum,
Actually the project is not a drone drop its is a kite messenger but
there seem to be a lot more people interested in drone drops so it
seemed that would be a better title.
The project is a kite messenger.
The kite messenger in the drawing is mechanical which causes problems. An electronic version of the kite
messenger has been developed and tested using the Top Racer Drone Clip.
Have shown this to some kite buddies and kite shops and I am interested in cutting Top Racer out
of the deal and doing the electronics and 3-D printing.
A device for the release mechanism has been found which works well.
So now a receiver and transmitter are needed. I think this will work
I believe what is left is to
1. Make sure the signal from receiver will work with EFLA405 Payload Release
2. A power source and a switch for for the receiver. The one in the
Drone clip looks like this
Can't find specs on the the receiver so not sure that will work.
3. A power source, power switch and momentary switch for the transmitter.
Also operational indicator LEDs for the transmitter and receivers would be nice.
Have looked for knowledge on this on the AAC forum and the Internet
and most of what was found was how to make the rcvr/transttr work
with Arduino. But it seems that would be overkill since there doesn't
seem to be a need for a microcontroller.
Any help guidance would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
