Hi Element14 community,
I'm currently working on an innovative RC plane project using the ESP32 DevKit V1 as the flight controller. The goal is to create a competition-ready aircraft capable of real-time GPS telemetry using NRF24L01+PA+LNA modules for long-range communication. The system also includes a ground station based on Arduino Uno, which will receive the data and display or forward it to a mobile device.
Project Overview:
NEO-6M GPS module on the plane collects real-time GPS data.
Data is transmitted via NRF24L01+PA+LNA to the Arduino Uno ground station.
Optionally, the data is forwarded to a mobile phone via Bluetooth or USB.
Components Needed:
ESP32 DevKit V1 – 1x
Arduino Uno – 1x
NEO-6M GPS Module – 1x
NRF24L01+PA+LNA (with antenna) – 2x
NRF24L01 Adapter Boards – 2x
18650 or LiPo Battery + Voltage Regulator – 1x
Jumper wires and connectors
(Optional) HC-05 or BLE Module – 1x
I Would Like to Ask:
1. Can you help verify the feasibility of this system for reliable long-range GPS telemetry?
2. Are there any project references or documentation on Element14 that can guide me?
3. Most importantly, would Element14 be able to help provide or sponsor these components for my project?
This is a competition-oriented build, and I’m aiming for first place with a creative and technically sound solution. Any support, advice, or guidance from the Element14 team would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much for your time and help!
Best regards,
Jeevan
