Send telemetry from an RC airplane from 2 miles up
here is what I am trying to do.
I got a Nerdkit to learn the basics of electronics(I'm not an engineer, just starting) and I need a project to develop and since I'm passionate about airplanes and remote data sending(?) I want to tackle this that sounds like going to the moon to me to learn about this intimidating field.
So I could do it in different stages until I get to the final objective. The airplane should be piloted through the laptop and the telemetry should appear in the laptop to. Sounds cool and hard! which is a good signal if I want to learn.
I want to build every component from scratch (as much as possible) but also considering that my plane cannot carry more than 300g in components (battery and tx not included).
The telemetry I want to send back is: Altitude, temperature, as the main ones and GPS data would be awesome but not necessary for now.
where should I start?
Also if some of you live in DC, VA or MD and wants to work with me you are very welcome.
I promise I'll make a video with all of it.
THANKS!
