I also am building a T1 Ranger VTOL just like you and was wishing I could do the 4glte but I'm not sure I can. I think I might just set it up with mateksys internals. IDK tho you got me thinking I should do 4glte.
I actually think 4gLTE might be a better option than a generic holybro sik telemetry radio. Both in price(Holybro ~100€ vs. 4gLTE ~35€ + cellular) and in usefulness, since you do not need anything plugged in your computer and also can access the telemetry data from multiple devices(phone, laptop, etc.). If you do want to follow my tutorial, I would be glad to help you when problems arise! Good Luck on your T1 Ranger VTOL Build🙋♂️
Hi ! I am running a Pi Zero 2 and i can’t go over this step: “ninja -C build “ . My Pi just freezes while the CPU load goes to 100% . I even left it run over the night. Do you have any advice for that ? i would normally say that the Pi Zero just lacks the power to handle this, but for you it seems to work just fine .
Public IP is not a mandatory need - in my case, my ISP forwards certain ports to my WAN IP (which is under CGNAT) from their public IP. If that is also not possible, then there is always zerotier (udp hole punching)
great video... but keep in mind in this scenario you are relaying info using the server. that make it slow and long delay (depends on internet). if you use sth like zerotier for headscale or tailscale you can have peer to peer connection without relaying data.
Thank you! I have measured the RTT(delay) to be about 1/4 to 1/3 of for example the RFD900X or a Holybro SiK Radio. This was surprising to me. I am working towards a GCS controlling multiple Aircraft, in which case it does make sense. But for only one UAV it is definitely a good option to use a peer to peer connection!
Hi! How much time should I expect to execute ninja -C build? It ook over an hour first time but did not completed. I try now second time, please write how much time it takes? Thank you!
Thx, but after some failed tries I installed mavproxy, it installed at first time and works fine with minimal load on cpu. It reconnects automaticly on a 4g breakup, so it is absolutly fine for me :)
Hi bro I have applied everything in the video, but there is a problem with the Amazon server. When I write a command, it does not send a message to the server. Is it possible to help? Telegram or email to communicate. Please help.😢
I could do that but what for? Personally I don’t see a big reason to use 5G over 4G. I do have some flight videos which I could upload, but no videos detailing the Datalink. Would you be interested in both or one thing in particular?
Can you make this video again in windows system and also show how gou connected all the hardware thank you ❤
I would love to do this! You make it seem so easy!

Please make a test flight video! Hopefully with a camera attached to the plane & the data feed!
I’ll continue with videos on this project, but don’t have the time for it in the near future

Could you also use wireguard for this?
Excellent tutorial , could you pls make a video or guide me on how to do the same but also get video feed from the vehicle, thanks!
I also looked into how I could do that, but currently I’m not sure how to do it.
@@air-lum maybe can we figure it out together.?.you you figure it out and make a video?
@@santhoshmamidisetti that wouldn't be bad, but I have diffrent priorities right know. thank you though!
What flight computer are you using? Is the Pi just powered off the flight computer's 5V rail?
Here I‘m using a Mateksys F405 WMN FC. Yea the Pi is powers by the FC’s 5V rail. Then the Pi powers the LTE Stick over USB
awesome)

Im not sure but an hour is way too much. I think it took like 30s for me if I’m not mistaken

What is the practical altitude for flying over 4G link?
I’ve gone up to 150m because of legal reasons in my country. It should work even higher but don’t expect too much
Thanks
In thé 10:27m you put 52.59.194.168 IP where i Can find mine IP? In aws or m'y laptop?
That’s the server IP. You can look for it on your aws console
Hi bro

Hey, you can contact me: t.me/TheBattery_airlum
Have u try on dji drones
No I don’t have a dji Drone. Also I don’t know how one would try it on a dji drone
Can you try 5G? Can we get a test flight video?
I could do that but what for? Personally I don’t see a big reason to use 5G over 4G. I do have some flight videos which I could upload, but no videos detailing the Datalink. Would you be interested in both or one thing in particular?
@air-lum no benefit in using 5g
