Can anyone recommend a good RC receiver that allows you to view a live feed from a camera and allows you to control the remote control device via your iPhone?
Basically, I want something similar to the Drone type products where you can see a live cam while controlling the drone at the same time on the iPhone.
That looks awesome! Not a bad price point either for what it is. I'm assuming they have a RC receiver module you can connect to the RC device you want to control too right? I'll search for that in a moment on their website.
I'm also wondering if anyone has a third party enclosure for the screen, but I'm sure you can easily make something to fit it.
There are quite a few parts that click into the shield of the MX7.... I didn't see an RC reciever, it's only an RF transmitter receiver, but I'm sure it could be interfaced quite easily... You would need a USB camera connected to the wifi module...
So then maybe add a router and you'd be able to control the drone/watch the video from an iPhone without adding too many gizmos. I don't think you'll get more than ~100m of range, though.
If you already have a transmitter/receiver, the tx might have a "trainer" port, which you could bridge to bluetooth using a microcontroller and be able to control the drone from your phone that way.
Another low-cost option would be a Raspberry Pi and the camera module they just came out with for it. A lot of good choices out there!
