Receive Revo telemetry in custom .NET application
« on: May 04, 2016, 10:14:27 pm »
Hello,

I'm developing a sort of ground control software, and the first step is to receive the telemetry from the FC.
I've installed the VCP driver and connected the revo to the pc via USB.
I've created a simple app that open the serial port but no package is received through the serial port.

I'm quite lost. Any clue or starting point?
Thanks

Brian

Have you configured the FC to send telemetry over VCP?  Normally the telemetry is sent over HID.

Did you install VCP on your PC to make it look like a serial port? Are you using an FTDI to connect to one of the ports on the flight control that has been set to provide telemetry (flexi, main)?

Yes, I've configured the FC to send the telemetry via VCP

I've installed the VCP driver, but I'm connecting the FC to the PC via the micro-usb connector. Perhaps this is the problem...
