Week 13

We bought a camera, a transmitter, a receiver and lastly a video capture card to feed video from the camera to our computers. the transmitter allows us to transmit the video feed into different channels and bands. The receiver is able to search for a feed in those channels and bands. the camera is soldered together with the transmitter to be mounted on the drone. however, the computer is not able to communicate with the video capture card. the video capture card nowadays are too outdated in terms in both software and hardware. it requires usb 2.0 and windows 2000, xp, vista. thus our computer is not able to talk to the receiver ore receive any live feed from the camera. we try different softwares, different methods but the computer is still not communicating with our receiver. the receiver and transmitter is already set in the same frequency but we can't see the feed from the camera.

We continued with troubleshooting of the pixhawk itself. From multiple sources online, the only solution is to constantly calibrate it. We calibrated it about 10 over times in hopes that it will be able to work. However, to our wasted efforts, it did not. Our friend then told us that perhaps the software might be too buggy for our pixhawk. We then downgraded the software by one version and redo all the calibrations. It finally worked. It took us about a whole week and a half to troubleshoot and finally manage to find a solution.
