new DJI Phantom FC40 user here and am interested in knowing if it is possible to get telemetry (alt, dist, etc..) from my unit to my 'droid running the FC40 app? Thanks for any help!

Hello Matt,
Sorry to tell you that that's impossible.

Hello Matt,
Sorry to tell you that it's impossible to make it as the FC40 has no connection to the flight controller auctually.

Ok, Blair. Thanks for that.

Looks like I'll need to come up with a Plan B.

Would you know if there be a portable unit that I could attach to my FC40 that has video capability along with (some) telemetry?

Hi Matt,It seems to be impossible for FC40 as there is not can port on it.

Hi Matt,it seems to be impossible for FC40 as there is not can port  and we do not recommend to do it.

Hmm?

Really, no way to connect a DJI iOSD MINI to my FC40?

If I post a link to "DJI Phantom 1 – Modify to have CAN Bus port" will I be asked to leave the forum?

My 'best' guess is DJI wouldnt like posting 'Hacks' on their website.
IMO..of course.

I have done a few of my own already....

If DJI wont make my FC40 'better'..than I will.

Cool, me too.

So I take it you've seen the CAN Bus hack?

Yep..interesting.  Doesn't look too hard to do.
