Geert, You seem to be knowledgeable on modifying DJI power circuits. What do you think about solving the wifi extender battery problem by using the transmitter batteries for the wifi extender as well? The transmitter uses four 1.5 volt batteries which is 6 volts in series. Circuits powered by...

Yes, DJIConv.jar works well when the Java runtime environment is set up properly The P2V+ appears to execute the Ground Station "mission" very well. You can even see the "adaptive turn". Do you have any idea why DJIConv.jar appears to work just fine and still displays "error"? Can you...

This would be a real accomplishment! It appears that only two or three people have been able to get winstsa's Java script to convert the gpslog.dat file to a .kml file. His post says you only have to copy two files from the Java Software Development Environment 7. Which two files do you need...

The wifi extender battery charging does seem to be the weakest part of the system. Has anyone figured out how to power the wifi extender from the transmitter batteries? The transmitter batteries hold up just fine and have a total of 6 volts in series. The USB cable now provides 5 volts. You...

Thanks for your help! The 900 Mhz Ground Station works great. I'm just wondering what happens if I create a "mission" that goes beyond the range of the hand held controller? Does it continue the mission or does it "return to home"? kennca

Thanks! One more question: Do you have to take the landing struts off before the top half of the Phantom shell will come off? kennca

DronePilot, Thanks to you and ChuckMRN I've made a lot of progress with my P2V+. Fortunately after reseating a connector on the camera platform the video feed works well with my ipad 3. I have the parts for PC Ground Station and I'm getting ready to install. I understand you use a dremel...

This is what I'm buying. Seller is waiting for me to verify compatibility. My understanding is this will work on the Phantom 2 Vision + but I can only enter 16 waypoints instead of 50. Is that correct? I also understand that I can cut the short JST cable and splice it to a small 4 conductor...

DronePilot, Thank you for your advice and Ground Station information! It's great that you, ChuckMRN and others are willing to share your knowledge. I will definitely get the 900 Mhz datalink and may get the 2.4 Ghz datalink even with limited capability. I'm glad to hear that you have...

ChuckMRN, Thanks for your reply! I can see the 900 Mhz has some real advantages over the 2.4 Ghz and worth the additional cost, size and weight. I just upgraded to a new Phantom Vision 2 + and I can't get the FPV to work. I've tried a full size IPAD 3 and IPHONE 5. I know the IPAD is not...

I would appreciate Forum Member help with these questions: 1) Does the Can-bus module allow you to plug in either the 2.4 Ghz or 9 Mhz Datalink? 2) What else can you plug into the Can-Bus module? 3) Does the 2.4 Ghz Datalink work fine as long as you don't use FPV? Does it interfere with the...

Forum members: I just upgraded to the P2V+. I decided to add the Ground Station so I have read this thread with much interest. I would appreciate some guidance on the installation and maybe I can contribute to the discussion as I learn more. Here are my questions: 1) What pin assignments do...
