DroneBridge
An open-source bidirectional digital radio link system for UAVs using standard WiFi hardware and custom protocols.
What is DroneBridge?
DroneBridge is an open-source system that creates a bidirectional digital radio link for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using standard WiFi hardware and a custom protocol. It provides video transmission, RC control, and telemetry communication optimized for drone applications, offering a complete alternative to proprietary solutions.
Drone enthusiasts, UAV developers, and DIY builders who need a customizable, long-range communication system for their aircraft, especially those using Raspberry Pi, ESP32, or Android-based ground stations.
Developers choose DroneBridge for its open-source flexibility, modular architecture, and cost-effectiveness compared to closed commercial systems, allowing full control over hardware and software while supporting standard protocols like MAVLink.
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.
