FPV Booster App DOUBLE Vision+ FPV Range

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
Unsure what you meant "stock" booster. This booster app ONLY supports P2V+ and does NOT support P2V. Once you get the P2V+, you may use the booster app to boost P2V+ aircraft.Petereesha said:
Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
I think you can use the Wi-Fi extender from a Vision+ with an original P2V. But, this app boosts the power from the Wi-Fi transmitter in the aircraft, not the extender. So, you won't be able to use the app with the P2V even if you swapped out the extender.

Hi PVFlyer,
I used 640x480@15 fps. And you're right the wifi BOOSTER is on... :mrgreen:

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
This is about Phantom 2 Vision (Non-plus) might also work on the Plus version.
- To connect to the repeater, you can ssh [email protected] or go to http://192.168.1.2 and for both the root password is "19881209".
So i went into the options and noticed there was a option to change the dBm setting of the Wifi to 27 dBm but it show as :
Mode: Client | SSID: FC200_008fa8
BSSID: 60:60:1Fhidden) | Encryption: None
Channel: 1 (2.412 GHz) | Tx-Power: 20 dBm
Signal: -28 dBm | Noise: -95 dBm
Bitrate: 86.7 Mbit/s | Country: US
So after further testing i noticed that if i change the country code in the advanced options to "BO" after applying the changes it shows as :
Mode: Client | SSID: FC200_008fa8
BSSID: 60:60:1Fhidden) | Encryption: None
Channel: 1 (2.412 GHz) | Tx-Power: 27 dBm
Signal: -35 dBm | Noise: -95 dBm
Bitrate: | Country: BO
But if i reboot the Phantom after reboot the country code don't get reset but the dBm info go back to 20 looking something like this :
Mode: Client | SSID: FC200_008fa8
BSSID: 60:60:1Fhidden) | Encryption: None
Channel: 1 (2.412 GHz) | Tx-Power: 20 dBm
Signal: -35 dBm | Noise: -95 dBm
Bitrate: | Country: BO
I tryed applying a dBm change again but it stayed at 20, then i tested to change back to US country code and it worked :
Mode: Client | SSID: FC200_008fa8
BSSID: 60:60:1Fhidden) | Encryption: None
Channel: 1 (2.412 GHz) | Tx-Power: 27 dBm
Signal: -35 dBm | Noise: -95 dBm
Bitrate: | Country: US
Now it is raining here, so i can't go out and test if this really affect the range, i also wonder how i could make this change permanent or a simple script to click in order to apply it from my iphone as soon as i connect to the repeater if it does increase the range.
Could someone here go test if this really increase the range and post his results and opinion here or by private msg,
Thank you

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
- Generate a LOT of RF noise;
- Over heat Wifi module (may even burn out without proper cooling) regardless running it on aircraft or repeater;
- Drain the battery regardless running it on aircraft or repeater;
- I expect boosting less than 50% range on P2V;
Please report back your results on P2V.
There are a few concerns on such over-power 27 dBm (500mW) setting below:isopro said:

what are you using to ssh into the repeater?

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
I was on that 27 dBm setting for over an hour with the Phantom on my desk, when i came back i did notice that the antenna side of the Phantom and range extender was a little warm to the touch, but no other issue noticed yet since it will be raining here for at least 2 more days the meteo say so i can't do any outdoor tests.
And to ssh into the repeater i was on my Windows computer and used WinSCP to connect to the Phantom : [email protected] default ssh port, and same password, then you open the ssh command window and you can send commands.

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
The extender normally gets warm to the touch after running a while.
I had asked before if the Vision and Vision Plus use the same Wifi transmission, are they interchangeable? I haven't seen any word that they are.
This weekend I flew with two new flyers at a park. One had a Vision Plus, his extender had failed and his dealer did not have another to give him so he used a Vision "Classic" extender until he can get the part. The Vision Extender seems to work fine on the Vision Plus, probably has less range but this guy is a complete newbie and stays somewhat close, under 100m.

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
I got my Epson Moverio BT-200 glasses today, and just want to report that the booster app loaded fine on the device. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm 99% sure it will work, so no need to load the app on the cell phone and switch to the Moverio.... NICE :mrgreen:

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
Can you explain (step by step) how to get the booster app onto the BT 200s without the Playstore app? Fairly new to Android here having jumped over from iOS.

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
Just got mine today as well and could also use a tip on how to load the booster app to them without having to root them.
Also, do any of you know if they will charge when off, can the unit be charged with it off and disconnected from the goggles? Mine does not blink when connected to the charger (micro USB).
It does blink and show that it's charging if powered on and looking at the lower right corner of the display.

Re: Vision+ Wi-Fi Booster DOUBLE FPV Range
The APK file you need is located here: http://droneslinger.com/software.html
As far as the charging, thanks for asking about that, cause I just tried them, after having them on charge for some time. Sure enough, while off and with the glasses unplugged it wasn't charging. Interesting quirk.
UPDATE....and sorry this is getting off topic. The glasses do charge when off, even when the glasses are unplugged, but you must use their power adapter. I tried it with a standard USB adapter, and it was only charging when powered on...weird!
I'm a bit of a computer geek, and it even took me a while to figure it out. I didn't realize that the program on the desktop, SEV I think it's called, is a file browser. You need to load the APK files onto the device by plugging the USB into your computer, and copying the APK files to your microSD card. You could probably also copy to one of the folders on the device, such as the download folder, in case you don't have an SD card to install. Once the APK file is on the device, open the SEV file browser and find the file. Hold your finger the file name on the track-pad until a menu comes up. One selection will be "install". Sure glad they included that browser, or it would have been a lot harder to sideload anything on. BTW, I can confirm, as others have said, the Google Play Store will load on the device, but crashes when trying to open it.RemE said:
