Live video broadcast from the UAV

Most camera drones are capable of streaming video. This mechanism is versatile and is well suited for sports broadcasting, public safety, real-time crowd monitoring and other tasks.

Budget drones with a camera provide video transmission over a wi-fi channel. The receiver is a mobile device (tablet or smartphone). This is convenient because the operator usually already has one of these gadgets. Thus, the organization of communication with the quadrocopter via wi-fi gives the consumer significant cost savings with acceptable playback quality.

At long ranges, this transmission method can introduce a time delay of 2-3 seconds. However, usually drones with wi-fi control are not able to fly away from the pilot for a considerable distance.

How to connect a quadrocopter to a phone, we are very often asked by users with this question. The relevance of this task is confirmed by the fact that although most modern drones are equipped with RC controllers, there are a number of models, communication with which is supported through a smartphone and special applications for it.

Most often, a wi-fi channel is used to work with a UAV of this type. This control method is widely used for short-range flights, creating new possibilities and ideas for consumer-class models. Note that mobile devices are used not only to control an aircraft, but also to configure it, activate various flight modes, work with a gimbal and a video camera.

Pros and cons of connecting via Wi-Fi

  • The smartphone screen is used to transmit video in real time;
  • All drone flight functionality is controlled by simple touching the screen;
  • It is allowed to use the built-in gyroscope for flight control;
  • Smartphone creates a familiar platform for most young users.
  • Weak control range;
  • Smartphone apps need to be updated regularly.

How to connect phone to camera of Syma X5SW quadcopter

As an example, consider the method of connecting a smartphone to the video equipment of the Syma X5SW copter. The camera of this machine is capable of shooting video in 640×480 pix format at 30 fps. Photos are of the same resolution. Communication with a smartphone mounted on the remote control bracket is supported through the antenna of the built-in wi-fi transmitter.

The drone can fly up to 120 m from the control panel, but the video transmission is interrupted already at ranges of 30-40 m. The manufacturer claims that the video transmission is performed in real time. Experience shows that this statement is wrong. There are obvious time delays in the video channel.

Now let’s look at the actual binding procedure.

First of all, the pilot must download the SYMA FPV application to his smartphone. The corresponding QR code of the application can be found on the drone packaging or in the instructions for it. The code depends on which operating system the smartphone is running. iOS or Android. Owners of Android phones can face a very unpleasant problem. the Syma FPV app is only supported by Android 4.1 or higher.

If the program is installed, the operator can turn on the drone and start tying it up. It will take up to 30 seconds for the flight camera to create its own access point, after which the operator can begin the procedure for connecting to the phone. He selects the settings menu in his smartphone, finds the wi-fi section in it and independently connects to the network, which appears in the list that opens on the screen under the name FPV wi-fi.

If a message about the successful completion of the operation appears, the pilot exits the settings menu, finds the SYMA FPV application in the general list of programs and opens it. A splash screen appears on which you need to press the START button. The reaction to these actions will be the appearance on the screen of a live image coming via the wi-fi channel from the on-board camera of the drone.

Against this background, there are five icons, thanks to which the operator gets the right to record photos and videos, view the results in the phone’s memory, monitor the wi-fi signal level and log in from the application. In the lower left corner of the screen there is an indicator that fixes the duration of the video.

We advise you to read the “Interesting” section. Lots of tips for using drones.

via bluetooth

  • the phone / tablet connector will not be occupied, which means it can be connected to the charger (or to another additional device);
  • no OTG cable / adapter needed;
  • the device is not wasted on the mouse (it has its own batteries).

True, there is also a drawback: if your sensor or Bluetooth adapter on your device does not work well, then you probably will not be able to configure the mouse connection (besides, Bluetooth does not always work stably. “Connection” breaks are possible).

1) First you need to install the batteries in the mouse, turn it on and press the pairing button (if any).

2) Next, go to the phone (tablet) settings and go to the “Device / Bluetooth connection” tab. See example below.

Opening the Bluetooth settings on the phone

Tethering Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 to your Android phone

3) Then you need to turn on the Bluetooth adapter: a mouse should appear among the found devices (it will be called “Bluetooth Mouse” or a mouse model). After clicking on it, the devices should pair.

Note: Sometimes the phone may ask for a pairing code. In this case, carefully inspect the packaging (documents) that came with the mouse. usually, it is indicated there.

By the way. I can’t help but note that some mice cannot be connected to the phone (not at all! Especially, this applies to older devices).

Adjusting Pointer Speed

If the mouse cursor “runs” across the screen too fast / slow, it can be fine-tuned. To do this, open the Android settings section “System / Language and input / Other input methods”. See screenshot below.

After that, you can manually adjust the pointer speed (example below).

Ways to connect a mouse to an Android device

with the help of specials. OTG cable

The first thing I want to say right away before buying an OTG cable / adapter is to pay attention to your connector on your phone (tablet).

Now most new devices come with a USB Type-C connector (older ones. With Micro USB // if you look at the photo below you will notice that it has “beveled” corners).

connect, phone, tablet

Of course, these connectors are different and they are not backward compatible (i.e. if you buy the wrong OTG adapter, you will not be able to insert it into your phone connector!).

Please note that OTG adapters are different!

The OTG adapter is a universal thing, and allows you to connect at least two dozen devices to your phone! You can find out more about this on the blog: https://androidlime.ru/otg-connected-to-phone

After purchasing the necessary cable (adapter), first connect the cable from the mouse to it (or USB adapter, if we are talking about a wireless radio mouse).

Install the battery in the mouse and turn it on! (this step applies to wireless mice)

If the mouse is turned on, the LED usually lights up on it.

Then turn on and “wake up” the phone (tablet). and connect the OTG adapter to it (it is advisable to immediately press the right mouse button).

As a rule, the familiar cursor will immediately appear on the screen. You can use!

A wired mouse is also connected to the phone!

The cursor has appeared. the mouse works! // Wireless mouse with USB adapter

How to connect a mouse to a tablet, phone (on Android)

good time!

You have never had to work with documents on a tablet / phone. (not just read a “couple of numbers”, but, for example, swap a few paragraphs, correct something and print)

Surprisingly, the mouse (external keyboard) in this case is much more useful (give 100 to work) than clicking on the screen. Selecting and transferring text is a 3-second task if you have a mouse (and a real torment if you don’t have one)! However, you may need to connect the mouse to the phone for various games (especially action movies and shooters), if the sensor breaks, etc.!

Actually, in this note I will give several ways how this can be done (how to pre-configure the work of the mouse). By the way, for “some”. I say right away that I do not pretend to be the ultimate truth.

2) I have a whole section on my blog dedicated to connecting one device to another. Recommend!

A mouse, keyboard, monitor are connected to the phone (UH3236 docking station used)

using docking stations and cases (with built-in keyboard)

Instead of an OTG adapter, you can use more “advanced” pieces. We are talking about specials. doc. stations (hubs), which will allow, in addition to a mouse, to connect a keyboard, a joystick, a monitor, and other gadgets (and all this at the same time!).

In fact, your phone will be like a system unit, and you will work like a regular PC (see photo below).

There are only a couple of downsides worth noting: doc. stations are much more expensive than conventional adapters. Plus, they are (most often) larger than the phone. so it is not very convenient to carry it with you (add to this the abundance of wires).

The phone is connected to a mouse, keyboard, monitor / using a dock. station UH3236

Perhaps, as an option, in this regard, covers with a built-in keyboard can help out. By installing a phone / tablet in such a case, you get both a keyboard and additional. USB port, and stand. It is quite possible to edit the document in the “field” conditions, a kind of replacement for a mini-laptop.

How to connect a phone to a tablet

How do I connect my phone to my tablet? Let’s start with the fact that you need to decide for what purpose you need such a connection:

  • for data transmission;
  • for distributing the Internet;
  • to manage (the most interesting).

Data transfer

We will exclude the cord immediately, although this can be done both theoretically and practically. Long, inconvenient, costly. these are not all disadvantages. Typically, the phone is connected to a tablet for data transfer. Upload videos, photos or documents. As such, in the literal sense of the word, you can connect your phone to a tablet via direct Wi-Fi or the Internet.

In the first method, you need to enable direct Wi-Fi on both devices (it can be called Wi-Fi Direct, etc.).

You need to go to Options and select the desired option in the “” section. The beauty is that files are dumped at a tremendous speed, with an average of about 50 Mbit. Next, in any file manager, select what you want to transfer and send it to your tablet / phone.

There are many ways to accomplish a task over the Internet. The easiest way is to upload a file to a file hosting service and then download it. We will not give examples, just type in the word “File sharing” in the search. But this method has already outlived its usefulness.

It’s much better to use services like Dropbox. You create an account and put the necessary files there. The application itself from the service is installed on a phone, tablet, computer and on all other devices, if desired. Now, no matter where you add files from, the latter will be available on all devices. You can access them even from any other device (friend, for example), just by going to the browser. Convenient, isn’t it? The process itself refers to the question of how to sync a tablet with a phone. This also includes other services. The same Yandex, Google, etc. with their virtual disks. Google will be especially convenient for Android users. In addition to the virtual space, you can create documents for joint editing, communicate like on Skype, etc.

Internet distribution from phone to tablet

We will not dwell here for a long time. The easiest way is to create a portable hotspot from one device. In iOS, you just need to move the slider in the Modem Mode section of the gadget settings. On Android, this section is hidden under the Options category. Only instead of the slider, you need to check the box opposite the “Portable Hot Spot”. In new versions of Android and wizards of individual companies, the function was moved to the status menu (top swipe).

How to control your tablet using your phone

So we got to the fun part. Users often use the tablet as a home media center by connecting the device to a TV or speakers. But why do you even need to control the tablet from your phone? It’s that simple! You are relaxing on the couch and watching a movie or listening to music. Perhaps you just want to play a game. You can just take your phone and use it as a remote control for a tablet or a gamepad for games.

Let’s start. The Tablet Remote must be installed on both devices from the Market. It must be said right away that the program is not the same as Red Admin or TeamViewer. You will not be able to fully control the tablet from your phone, but, as mentioned above, it will do as a remote control or gamepad. over, you can connect devices not only via Wi-Fi, but also via Bluetooth, which is good when the phone also distributes the Internet. After the first power on, you will see the following interface.

First you need to make your gadget a remote keyboard. To do this, deselect both options in the SETUP section. Now launch the program on your tablet, and on your phone, select Connection and click on the radar. After searching for devices, just tap on the found tablet (as a rule, it will write its name). At subsequent entries, there will be no need to produce this. the devices will knit themselves.

Changing positions from the remote control to the gamepad is as easy as shelling pears. You just need to change the display orientation.

Thanks to this technology, any peripheral device can be connected to the smartphone, including a second phone.

USB adapters can be marked “master” or “slave”, that is, they can be master and slave. If there is an adapter marked “master”, then the phone with this adapter will be the main one, and the second phone will be displayed on its screen as a removable medium. If the adapter is marked “slave”, then the situation will be mirrored.

All modern smartphones support OTG technology. It was designed to connect keyboards, webcams, removable media, printers, mice and other peripherals to Android devices.

To connect two phones, you first need to connect a USB-female adapter to one phone, and a micro-USB cable to the second phone. After the phones have determined the cable and adapter, you can safely connect them together.

When connecting two phones, there is no need to use additional software. For this, the interface of a standard smartphone file manager is sufficient. In this case, the contents of the slave phone are displayed in the file manager of the main phone as the contents of removable media. After connecting the phones with a cable, you can copy files at high speed and not worry about a possible disconnection or loss of data, as is the case with data transmission via the “Bluetooth”.
