GCSD4, BTSD11 and RXVID-1C
IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENTS IN RADIO MODEM TX AND RX XLRS 02-October-2018:
- MAVLINK and transparent radio modem: Several bugs have been removed depending on the configuration packages were lost. Now it works 100%.
- Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS): Improved general operation 40 hops/sec. with RC, XLRS telemetry and Mavlink.
- FHSS: A secret code has been added to encrypt the pseudo-random jumps, this makes it very difficult to decode the data packets by unauthorized individuals, avoiding theft of drones by impersonation.
- Radio control: An additional security byte has been added to the RC packages (joysticks, servos, etc.) as well as valid data filtering at the input of servos and mixer.
- BLUETOOTH + MAVLINK: The Mavlink protocol has been activated and transparent via Bluetooth, now tablets, PCs or laptops without USB connection can be used directly. (This new functionality is only guaranteed for equipment manufactured as of September 2018. If your device is older and you can not configure the bluetooth to 38400b, contact the technical service, dmd@dmd.es).
- DMD_Studio: Multiple improvements to support new devices and all new features that have been added to devices in general.
Note: Due to the previous changes the RF data packets are incompatible with previous versions so you must update the transmitters and also the receivers.
Sample videos of the new version:
- XLRSD3 (433Mhz) in FHSS mode (Mavlink by USB) + Pixhawk + Mission Planner, Write and Read Waypoints.
- XLRSD3 (433Mhz) FHSS mode (Mavlink BLUETOOTH)+ Pixhawk + Mission Planner, Write and Read Waypoints.

New version 1C of the analog video receiver RXVID, already in production.
It is compatible with the previous version with very interesting improvements: By the local speaker, in addition to alarms and warnings, now you can hear the sound of the microphone in XOSD in flight. This option can be configured from DMDStudio.
The diversity has been improved, now the settings are independent for each receiver.
A new hardware setting, now you can adjust the output brightness of each receiver to be exactly the same.
In DMD the idea is to update and improve the products in periods of a few months to evolve the XLRS system continuously.

System XLRS D4
Ground Control Station D4
25 to 200Km
26/January/2018
We present the latest news in Digital Micro Devices, the new XLRS D4 system with the GCSD4(Ground Control Station D4).
D4 is an evolution and improvement of the XLRS D3 systems. It is compatible with all XLRS systems.
Now you can have a complete system in a robust suitcase, compact and easy to transport.
You do not need a laptop anymore.
XLRS D4 is not yet for sale. In a few days you can make reservations in the web store. Customers who make their reservation will have multiple advantages we will inform you as soon as possible.
GCS D4
We have designed a small suitcase (36.5 x 29.4 x 17 centimeters) but robust and powerful in which we have put everything necessary to fly in FPV comfortably at long distance:
- The most powerful and modern DMD radio control system with Joysticks, buttons, encoders, etc.
- Several OLED displays to continuously inform the pilot.
- Mavlink Telemetry or transparent.
- AES Encryptio.
- Embedded PC with Windows 10, integrated in the system and with the software already installed and tested.
- IPS Touch screen 7″ for PC.
- Keyboard with mouse.
- Screen for analog video of long range and high brightness, visible with sunlight.
- Everything in a suitcase easily transportable and much more…
VIDEO:
For the video we have used an XVID system with analog video at 2.4Ghz,
since for a long range it is a good solution. (other frequencies on demand). We are preparing new antennas and amplifiers for those customers who need to reach more.
This system allows the video of the ground station to be independent
since it retransmits the video to 5.8Ghz for the monitor of the suitcase, without cables. > At the same time you can use video glasses with a 5.8Ghz receiver.
Antennas:
For RC we selected a patch of 6-9dBi that will guarantee us a maximum range of 200km. We are preparing new antennas for 866-915Mhz with 12dBi that will increase the range even more.
The video is delivered with a patch of 17dBi. To reach more optionally you can use a parabolic of 24dBi or more.
New software update
17 January 2018:
New update Receiver RXD3 V:3.34b789.
Bug in MIX: When using an extended button as GL or HL, if there was any assignment to I1L or I2L it didn’t work or canceled the button assignment. Corrected.
Updated information on button assignment and priorities in the DMDStudio manual..
Now the priorities of the buttons are explained and switches that can be very useful when you want a button or switch to cancel or have priority over other active switches on the same servo or object.
