At the moment most peeps are using the Pi with the Pi camera for lower latency video. It is quite straightforward to setup and send over wifi to a device. However, most people really want to use their Gopro cameras via HDMI out.
Also the simple task of plugging in a 4G dongle to a Pi is not so simple. The Dongle needs more power than the Pi can deliver, so one has to start including messy powered usb hubs to the mix. Or using a LAN cable from the 4G modem to the Pi.
The wikipad is going to be cannibalised into an DIY controller using the Arduino Pro Micro to make it as a HID controller. At the moment the is no drone control using Tower/Droidplanner so it is a case of using Tincore to overlay screen areas to allow the controller to press 'launch' 'Auto' 'Land etc etc...
To achieve my goal of a 4G drone:
1) Solve the HDMI to CSI-2 (mipi) adapter riddle.
2) Powered USB hub for the modem, or, LAN cable from modem to Pi? Hmmm....
3) Finish the Wikipad - to - Arduino Pro Micro (HID device)
4) Take more break-time and walks. The brain is frying.
