Support for Graupner HoTT was created by Waschtl

Hi,

are there any plans to support the Graupner HoTT Rx system?
Is this even widely known outside of Germany?

Thanks for your help,
Bastian

I doubt very much. See "Rules for protocol requests" in this subforum. HoTT uses CC2500, so technically it's feasible, but the hardware is enormously expensive for hobby project. So, all 75 channels of HoTT are for Graupner to enjoy (selling to you)

Even if someone capable of doing this would have the hardware, he'd hesitate to solder stuff to $400-500 transmitter, and even receivers are quite expensive - $75 or so last time I checked.

So, don't hold your breath.

Graupner/Hott telemetry is very interesting:
SJ/Graupner ESCs are plug and play with Hott Receivers and are sending
Voltage/Ampere/RPM/Capacity/Temperature
without using external hardware

Well, here in Germany you can get tx modules at ~50€ = 65US$. ( here for example:
cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem=&i...bayCategoryId=159499 )

That's actually quite cheap to the Futaba modules which start at ~100€...
I can of course help to get a module for development

For me - not now. I am busy with Esky and HiSKY right now as they use the chip I made my first protocol for - nRF24L01.

PhracturedBlue has much more experience with CC2500 and I know there were some problems with CC2500 modules - some work better than others for unknown reason.

Also, for every protocol there are no guarantees that it can be done easily. I was lucky so far, all three protocols I dealt with are not very complicated and not much countermeasures were taken against reverse engineering. Unlike for instance DSMX - it took long time to reverse engineer frequency hopping algorithm.

I haven't returned to it recently, but I've been very frustrated working with the CC2500 modules. There could be various reasons for that, but the end result has been that I have not had much luck running the PA enabled ones.

As victzh said, this is a pretty expensive proposition. Someone doing the analysis would need access to both a Tx and and Rx, and may need to damage one or the other to get the proper wiring to snoop the protocol. And in the end, if they developed a strong hopping algorithm, it may be very difficult to decode (Even DMX, which was the hardest protocol we've seen to date, could have been much more difficult with a single change like using a key-exchange, which would probably have been enough to make it unbreakable using current techniques)

At $65, I'd consider buying an Rx to hack, but without a reasonably priced Tx, it wouldn't be helpful.

HOTT support really appreeciated

I have probably access to a Graupner MX-16 and a receiver - btw, Support of the MZ-24 has been discussed sometimes - perhaps a MZ12 or MX12 which is slightly above 100USD might be possible to deviate?

Best regards

I have access to a MZ-4 TX: www.graupner.com/Radio-Control-mz-4-HoTT-2-Channel/S1031/ with a 2 channel receiver.
It's only 2 channels but it might give a start to reverse this protocol. I'll have a look in the coming days to see if the CC2500 SPI bus is accessible in it.

Depending on the result I might need a normal receiver to go further, is someone willing to ship a RX my way? I would even think that it could even be a prerequisite for me before starting anything...

Your doing a great job with all your efforts in adding new protocols !!! Thanks Man!

Maybe in case you like hacking at some point we could add the Semtech Modules, for 900mhz as that would be really adding something what is lacking! Especially frsky r9m rx are very afdordable, if it was deviated would certainly use it.

I currently have a MX16 here from a friend of mine plus a GR18 receiver that has a burnt first channel servo out.
I would like to ship the receiver to you if it's of use

There is a problem that I see though:
Since HOTT uses Telemetry only to configure the receiver, there is a GUI needed to do so. I guess without the support of this configuration menu, there is not much of use of HOTT. I didn't know about this circumstance before I actually used HOTT. I helped Silverxxx from Silverware to implement Graupner's SUMD, that's why I have had contact with it...

I've never seen Hott so can you elaborate?
What are they configuring through telemetry on the RX?

You can see the telemetry configuration menu in this PDF , at page 10. You enter telemetry mode in TX, the this screen shows up, it's the receivers setup, what is being displayed varies from receiver to receiver, GR18 for example which has a flight controller includes, is quite more complex. Here you can chose copter configuration, ESC protocol, PIDs, etc...
Just read around a bit in the Graupner receiver and/or transmitter manuals, they always show that telemetry menu

I can do a video of that menu if it's of use

Ok let me look with what I have access to and I will see what's feasible.
