It's not a transmitter and it's not a receiver, it's an open source remote control system!
Chad and Josh had a chance to talk to the creator of the OSRC and he shares more details about the project and the backstory of the Open Source Remote Control (OSRC).
The OSRC project was created by Demetris Zavorotnitsienko and his radio control system is comprised of many modules and additions. It can be as simple and affordable as a basic control system or a UAV ground station, based on what setup one chooses to have.
Among the modules are the FPVC, which can be just additional buttons, FPV Receiver or a complete Linux based embedded device with GSM, GPS, Touch Screen and other additions. Some parts are simple micro controller based, others are 1GHz processor based with Linux functionality.
Futaba, HiTEC, Spektrum and other modules can be used on this Radio Control. As long as the feed can receive PPM reception you can attach it to this system.
There are much more unique features to this radio control which are described in much greater detail at the OSRC website! We encourage you to check out the site and learn more about the progress of the OSRC project!
Demetris' next step to push the OSRC project forward is an indiegogo campaign to raise funds for building a custom SLA 3D printer which will be made available to contributors of the campaign but the project needs contributors to make it a reality! Check it out HERE and see if it's something you'd want to help with.
A newer version of OSRC is currently being finalized. Demetris is building it through the 3D printer method and it should give lots of advantages in its operation with many materials and colors to choose from as well as shorten delivery times for the final product.

indiegogo Campaign - "SLA 3D Printer"
http://www.indiegogo.com/ilios-hd-3d-printer
I have seen NOTHING except videos of the sticks moving and Talking Heads..... NO real in deapth demonstration, looks into the insides, etc. But I do see what looks to me like one antenna connection being used... flanked by two others with caps on them. Sort of negates his "all on one digital frequency".
Also in Digital land powers of 2 are most logical... so why "40" channels instead of 32 etc.
Add to that.... the "Oh Whoe is Me" I need to get a super accurate 3D printer and want you all to pay for it.
Not in this lifetime Mate.
I would suggest that FliteTest should request a HANDS ON demo of the unit done by them. If they show that it really is as Promoted... Then I'll be impressed...

Awesome work sir

I was thinking about force feedback for multicopters. But not like a plane. If you read the corrections the FC is making in flight as vectors, you could send it back to the controls and apply forces to the sticks. This would give a huge range of information such as torque felt by the copter from wind, motors, resistance of rotors acting like gyros...so much information to your fingers. It should be easy to implement, especially if you're using an integrated FC.
This is such an amazing thing I really hope it goes mainstream. The current setup is a little extreme for the average RCer or FPV guy. Maybe a basic version with a combo receiver/GPS/FC/FPV Tx box for the craft, basic remote controls plus moving sticks and option for built in FPV screen would sell quick and allow more development. A radio, Tx module, receiver, FPV equipment, FC with GPS all costs about $300 on the lowest side of the spectrum. If you could pull off a good performing system in the $400 range I believe it should be widely adopted by newcomers and seasoned pilots. Take advantage of the multicopter wave and just tailor it to that plus some plane abilities. It's an easy winner that HobbyKing would love to sell.
