Thanks Frank. I’m still trying to figure out the best way to set up the ground station for long range missions. Currently the best solution I’ve found is connecting a Android tablet to the ground unit via Ethernet (USB c to Ethernet adapter). This allows QGC to get video stream and UDP mavlink data. However, two problems
Since only 192.168.144.20 gets UDP broadcast (according to the manual) I have to root the tablet to change the Ethernet IP address. Bit of a hassle
the siyi fpv app crashes after 4 seconds displaying a message in Chinese when trying to run via this Ethernet to USB c adapter.
I want to use Ethernet over WiFi to minimize the interference in the ground unit. Does the video over internal WiFi put extra stress or cause interference with transmition on the ground unit? Is it ok to use that the whole time?
Frank, can you clarify what kind of new “HM30 Dual Link Fly More Combo” kit you have for sale.
I see only one difference, this is the “Dual Link & Relay” module, but I did not find any description on this module. HM30 Dual Link Combo
Sorry that we haven’t updated the information about the new combo to the community. I am working on the manual so that we present to everyone the full image when we are to release it.
At the early beginning, it showed on the Display 15.1 V.
Now even worse. Air Unit triple red blinks, Ground Unit solid red
I tried to bind, but it failed.
Air unit not connected to Flightcontroller, only to the Cam.
Battery 12.2 V direct connected to the Airunit.
Is there a way to put a smaller camera in place of the default IP camera? Really having trouble fitting it into a plane without adding major drag. Are there any future plans to allow using a regular analog FPV camera?
Unfortunately the analog FPV camera won’t work with the HM30 link and SIYI does not have an FPV camera type model. But welcome to pay an attention and if we got one in the future, we will update about it asap.
I decided to accept the fact that there is no way to tuck the camera in nicely - then mounted it on a servo so I can at least look around with the giant thing
Hope one day you guys can build a air unit that gets video signal from regular fpv camera and then turns that into a rtsp stream. Would be cool. Because currently on smaller fuselages this camera is a bit large. But on big planes no problem.
4 & 5 will be replied after checking with the team
Did you get a response from them on this Frank? Mainly interested in receiving the UDP broadcast on more than just 192.168.144.20. If you guys are using mavproxy to forward the UDP data, you can use different commands to serve data to more than just 1 ip. Multicasting to every client on the network would be ideal imo that way your user will never have to set their ip address manually
I took it for maiden flight today - all went well close range. Except there is a bug where both the ground unit and app display the flight mode wrong. See here: “RTLBy Wire A” this is because I switched to RTL from FlyBy Wire A but the entire text was not overwritten. Would be nice to fix that bug. Also the home arrow is not accurate - having a way to hide that entirely would be nice.
Is it possible to ask your team how to access this OSD data that is displayed over the video? I’m sure there is an API I can tap into. Please let me know
For me: I would like when you can realize that the Font size could be increased. In this Picture the Font is large enoughe, but with a 10" Tablet the Font size ist much to small.
