DroneBridge
An open-source bidirectional digital radio link system for UAVs using standard WiFi hardware, offering long-range video, telemetry, and RC control.
What is DroneBridge?
DroneBridge is an open-source digital radio link system designed for UAVs, creating a bidirectional connection using standard WiFi hardware and a custom protocol. It solves the need for affordable, long-range communication by providing video streaming, RC control, and telemetry in a single system. It serves as a complete alternative to proprietary solutions like DJI Lightbridge.
Drone enthusiasts, UAV developers, and hobbyists looking for a customizable, cost-effective radio link system for aerial vehicles. It's also suitable for developers interested in extending functionality through its modular architecture.
Developers choose DroneBridge for its open-source nature, modular design allowing custom plugins, and compatibility with affordable hardware like Raspberry Pi. It offers a flexible, self-hosted alternative to closed commercial systems, with community-driven development and support for multiple platforms.
Overview
DroneBridge is a system based on the WifiBroadcast approach. A bidirectional digital radio link between two endpoints is established using standard WiFi hardware and a custom protocol. DroneBridge is optimized for use in UAV applications and is a complete system. It is intended be a real alternative to other similar systems, such as DJI Lightbridge or OcuSync.
