ImmersionRC recently pushed out the new product known as Ghost. It is based upon LoRaWAN which gave it some nice advantages in comparison to other existing radios. ImmersionRC also created a new lightweight protocol to improve latency and some new features. This post will be more about how it is integrated into Betaflight code.  At the moment of the writing the code is located here: https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight/blob/master/src/main/rx/ghst_protocol.h https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight/blob/master/src/main/rx/ghst.h https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight/blob/master/src/main/rx/ghst.c If you figure out how this protocol works you can use it in your projects. With Ghost radio transmitter and Ghost receivers, you can communicate with any device you want at a distance of around 10 km with very low latency including telemetry data. In the text below I'll describe how Ghost's frames look like. We are looking from the receiver's perspective (Betaflight flight c...

 This is a demonstration GUI application and second stage bootloader for SP Racing H7 Extreme board PX4 version.  It is designed as cloner protection for STM32 boars so if you are looking for a solution on how to protect your board you can contact me. For now, this is an application that can help PX4 developers or any other developer using the H7 Extreme board. It works with IMFlasher GUI and console applications. 

A couple of days ago I have written a blog post for embeddedrelated.com with a brief overview of drone flight controllers. If you are interested in BetaFlight, PX4, Ardupilot, Paparazzi, CleanFlight, etc,  go and check this post: https://www.embeddedrelated.com/showarticle/1260.php
