Immersion RC EzAntennaTracker V2 Second Generation Antenna Tracking

The EZAntenna Tracker v2 system is the successor to immersion RC's EZAntenna Tracker Lite, the first commercially available antenna tracker designed for FPV/UAV flight.
It operates by using the digital telemetry stream from the EZOSD module, the XuGong v2 Pro or the Tiny Telemetry module and sends it down one of the audio channels of an A/V link, via the transmitter. This telemetry stream contains information on the plane's GPS location, and other information available to the telemetry module, such as battery level and UHF link quality.

This telemetry stream then exits from the audio jack of the ground-based A/V receiver, and can be used for various purposes.

1) It can be simply recorded to the audio/video recorder, and 're-played' through Google Earth("") to show the path that the model took during the flight/drive/sail. This case requires no additional hardware.

2) It can be recorded, as above, but used to find a lost plane in the event of a distant crash. The gps coordinates of the last packet sent should indicate roughly (or best case, exactly) where the RC Crashed. Again, no additional hardware required.

3) It can be fed to an antenna tracker, which is driving a pan/tilt mount. This can aim a directional antenna at the plane during the entire flight, greatly reducing dropouts (and with the added bonus that the antenna points to where the plane landed/crashed in the event of a "problem").

The EZAntenna Tracker V2 functions include:

- Single-wire connection to immersion RC Uno/Duo receivers with the GS-Link connection (power, A/V, and control). This includes all GS-Link equipped Uno/Duo products shipped to date!
- Control of RX frequency and band, with direct readout in MHz on the LCD
- 3A 'quiet switching regulator to power connected servos
- Three buffered A/V outputs to drive Goggles, DVRs, LCDs, etc
- USB port for setup and firmware upgrades
- Alarms for loss of tracking, and low battery
- 100% compatible with telemetry from the EZOSD, Tiny Telemetry, XuGong v2 Pro and all upcoming immersion RC multi-copter products
- No more heat-shrink, no more messy cabling, no more external BEC
- Professional aluminum enclosure with our signature 'bumpers'

Package Contents:
- 1 - EzAntenna Tracker v2
- 1 - 3.5mm Male to 3x Phono cable
- 1 pcs-male to male mini-DIN6 cable

Requires:
TinyTelemetry, EzOSD or XuGong v2 Pro

License-free, Serious range!

License-free 25mW 5.8GHz transmitters behave like much more powerful transmitters when a tracked antenna is deployed.
The narrow beams of directional antennas need to be pointed directly at the model, difficult to do manually, but easy with an antenna tracker.

-  Greatly increases range and video quality for video gear
-  Drives standard hobby servos for pan, and tilt
-  Integrated LCD for setup and display of status screens
-  Includes 3x buffered video outputs
-  On-board control of Immersion RC receivers

Receiver Control

The EzAntennaTracker v2 includes built-in control of receiver band, and channel, with direct readout of receiver frequency in MHz. This is possible through a single-cable connection between Immersion RC Uno, and Duo receivers, and the antenna tracker.
Receivers mounted in difficult-to-reach antenna mounts may now be controlled remotely from the antenna tracker.

Upgrades via USB

As with most Immersion RC products, the EzAntennaTracker v2 is equipped with a standard USB port, for firmware upgrades, and configuration, using the Immersion RC Tools application.

Telemetry Display

The EzAntennaTracker v2 displays all telemetry received from the model on it’s inbuilt display, including:
Battery Status: Battery voltage, current, and mAh consumed, all displayed in real time on the LCD.
GPS Position: Extremely useful in the case of a lost model. The current GPS position of the model is shown on the LCD, and is preserved when telemetry stops, or power is removed.
Up-link Status: When used with the EzUHF, the LCD can show the RSSI (Received Signal Strength) of the up-link, along with link quality.

Recover Lost Models

In the FPV Hobby, there is not much worse than loosing your model .
A model tracked with an antenna tracker has a very high probability of being found after an unexpected landing. The last known GPS coordinates, and altitude are displayed on the LCD, and are even preserved when ground station power is cycled.
Enter the last known coordinates into the iTelemetry FPV (or Android equivalent) application on your smartphone, and follow the map to the model.

The Sky is the Limit

One part EzAntennaTracker v2, one part imagination (plus a little mechanical ingenuity),  and the sky is the limit.
This video shows a good example of an antenna tracking ground station built around Immersion RC technology.
