Your friendly FPV Combat events announcer

Wiring

For the application to work with the combat system, you need HC-12 module (e.g. Hailege HC-12 433Mhz SI4438 Wireless Transceiver) connected to PC via USB to UART TTL converter (e.g. CP2102 MICRO USB to UART TTL Convert Module).
Optionally, install a separate 433mhz antenna to better reception.
