Design of a Remote Control System for a Model Aircraft via Bluetooth
WU Hong-wei, XU Qing-yuan · Microcomputer Development · 2005
In this system,a special quad-motor model aircraft is controlled via a Bluetooth link by a Java-based application on a local PC being connected to a joystick and a Bluetooth USB Adapter.As a first step of the design,the model aircraft is simulated on a remote PC connected to a Bluetooth Serial Port Adapter.The system model is built;the protocols at the application layer are defined; flow charts of the system are given and program packages are described briefly. The result shows that the system is reliable and it can be applied into practical control of a model aircraft without much change in the local system and with some software transplant to a microcontroller on the model aircraft.
