Networking

SIYI hardware can be used directly as a communication/data link instead of WiFi if the hardware has LAN output.

Tested with: Air Unit and MK32 ground station (do not connect MK15 ground station - will burn your LAN port!). We succesfully connected NUC to a NTB in the LAN network through pairs of (Air Unit + NUC) and (MK32 + NTB). Connection diagram here.

Data bandwidth test between NUC and NTB, while also streaming RGB+T data from SIYI ZT6 (the number specifies the available BW for transmission measured with iperf3 - larger is better):

In the office

  • 8km FPV low latency flight mode:
    • HD stream
      • RGB+T: 2.8 Mb/s
      • RGB: 3.1 Mb/s
      • Off: 4.1 Mb/s
    • Full HD stream
      • RGB+T = 3.5 Mb/s
      • RGB: 2.9 Mb/s
      • RGB+T as a single stream: 3.6 Mb/s
      • Off: 3.9 Mb/s
  • 5km FPV low latency flight mode:
    • Stream off: 4.7 Mb/s
  • 15km GCS flight mode:
    • Stream off: 3.2 Mb/s
  • 24km GCS flight mode:
    • Stream off: 2.1 Mb/s

Around the F4F building (Air Unit stays in the office, MK32 moves)

  • 8km FPV low latency flight mode
    • 2nd floor: 2.6 Mb/s, ping 3 ms
    • entrance: 1.9 Mb/s, ping 3 ms
    • coffee house: 3.4 Mb/s, ping 3.5 ms
