I'm just exploring building a drone, and learning way more than I knew a few weeks ago. I thought it would be fun to build a drone with the kids, and decided to give building a flone a try. I am learning just how out of date the recommendations provided are, including the outdated Naze32.
I am stuck on getting the bluetooth module to receive commands over the UART. I have tried UART1, UART2, and even configuring a SoftSerial, I can't get any commands to come over. I am able to connect to the bluetooth module over serial using a UsbTTY cable. I have verified the Baud and am connecting correctly. Is there any way to verify the rx/tx are working correctly? I have flashed several builds of cleanflight, and am now using the last supported build of beta flight for the Naze32
I would really like to get this working, and if the kids and I have fun look to build something on newer hardware. I am thinking if I get a receiver/transmitter and skipping the bluetooth module may be the next step, but I'm not sure if I would run into other transmission issues with the flight controller, with that as well.
Any recommendations on how to troubleshoot the UART communication would be appreciated.
Also any recommendations on entry level receivers/transmitters that won't break the bank would be appreciated as well.
