Indiegogo: Fighting Walrus Radio - iOS device that controls your personal drone

GPS · Mar 18, 2013

How Does It Work?

The Fighting Walrus Radio communicates with your drone using the MAVLink Micro Air Vehicle communication protocol. This makes it compatible with existing drone platforms such as Ardupilot and the forthcoming GPS upgrade for the Parrot AR.Drone. Current users with Ardupilot vehicles and the popular 3D Robotics air radios will be able to integrate the Fighting Walrus Radio directly into their UAV systems.

The Fighting Walrus Radio is based around the HopeRF HM-TRP Transceiver module. This comes in 915 or 433 MHz variants depending on your country. As a funder of our campaign, you will receive a radio appropriate for the country from which you place your order. This radio is rated to a 1 mile line-of-sight range.

Open-Source Software

To maximize the potential of the Fighting Walrus Radio, we've made the iOS software open-source. The app is based on software created by Claudio Natoli for the DIY Drones community.
