Dr John Lannigan replied to Alex's discussion Using an IOIO board to connect a 3DR radio to Android device"Basically, although ive not gone into the 'ins and out's' of this, you should be able to take the RS232 signal out of the IOIO which is being controlled by an Android device and feed this into an RS232 port on a PC. Using a terminal…"
Alex replied to Matt's discussion Rx RSSI parameters request in the group ArduPlane User Group"A0 worked a treat! although I only get a reading of between ~ 1 with tx off and ~57 when tx on, but I guess this is the difference between 5v and 3.3v."
Alex replied to Matt's discussion Rx RSSI parameters request in the group ArduPlane User Group"So I built the above converter and now seem to get an analogue 0~3v. I've set the RSSI_PIN to 8, but only see 0 in the Mission Planner...
Any ideas? "

Neill McOran-Campbell replied to Alex's discussion How much interference is normal with FPV video?"This, absolutely this.
I am very certain that your problem is multipath or polarization loss which can be easily corrected by making a good set of circularly polarized antennas.
