Abstract

The Portable FPV System with Smartaudio is a method used simply to control a radio-controlled vehicle specifically those that use Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) or other type of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) in the driver or Pilot’s view point. Incorporated to the system is a special feature called Smartaudio. Smartaudio is a type of VTX telemetry protocol in which it is a combination of an audio signal and a digital control signal. The two said signals are combined together to one simple audio signal. This signal can be used to control the VTX or Video Transmitter. And it is a simple serial signal. This basically allows the Pilot of the UAV to change settings for video transmitter via the On Screen Display (OSD) menu. So having Smartaudio feature makes things like switching VTX channels, power levels less difficult for Pilots, with no need to push switches or obscure push button menus. When pilots switched over to this system that supports Smartaudio it is seen just how quickly it can change multiple settings using OSD, giving more freedom and accessibility.

Highlights

  • The new sport of drone building sees small but very fast robots fly around a circuit littered with obstacles

  • The Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) pilot stay on the ground but their view was as if they were inside the aircraft

  • Smartaudio is a combined out audio signal and a digital control signal

Summary

Introduction

The new sport of drone building sees small but very fast robots fly around a circuit littered with obstacles. The main concern of every pilot every time they fly FPV with or without other pilots is what we call IMD (Intermodulation Distortion). This is quite a hassle for most pilots because to do this, either you insert your Flight controller to your computer and manually changes it through Betaflight application or creates and modifies obscure push switches to control VTX telemetry. Audio Signal is provided from a microphone This digital signal can be used to remotely control the Video Transmitter of the system. Adding a smartaudio feature to the system helps drone pilots control the channel the transmitter is transmitting and making the setup portable will enable pilots, engineers and drone enthusiasts build this setup to any UAS/UAVs
