frisky magic
Frisky magic eh!
"Definition:frisky
adjective: lively, spirited, romping, playful, bouncy, high-spirited, rollicking, in high spirits, full of beans. (informal): coltish, kittenish, frolicsome, (literary): sportive, full of joie de vivre.

So apart from that frolicsome magic will you be using a gps at the tracking end as well as on the model, to correct for errors?

This code is the core functional bits of rssi pro track.

But very very old and no where near as good. The commercial product code was improved upon greatly from this point.

Hi Rob, forgive for resuscitating such an old post.

I would like to know if the downloadable code on your github is the latest version that had the RSSI PRO Track integrated and if it is usable.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Rob...

could confirm that the firmware available here is the latest version of the commercial RSSI PRO.


https://github.com/robthomson/rssiprotrack

Is this code Usable?

This is the same design as the commercial version was not?
