Has anyone set up a raspberry pi with a camera to transmit a small video feed so it shows as an overlay in mission planner? I have several rovers I want to track in MP and would really like the video over lay.
are you trying to use the rfd900 for video, or do you have wifi? rfd900 for video has been done, but it’s definitely not something I’d recommend
I remember reading an article where @tridge used RFD900 for video during Australian Outback Challenge.
The original idea was using wifi for video and rfd900 for tracking and telemetry. I’ve seen a PoC video on YouTube of someone sending video along with telemetry to MP, but it was short and more or less a demonstration. My problem right now is getting video over a long distance, 2 miles or more. I have a 28Dbi parabolic mesh antenna attached to my router. I was losing signal @850ft and ping latency was >1300ms
Get a Herelink, or if you budget bound then try OpenHD https://github.com/OpenHD/Open.HD (aka WifiBroadcast). You have to choose wifi card onboard with embedded power amp. (see the Wiki)
As last resort, for analog video, you can use 1.3Ghz.
The trick here is that i need to monitor all of my rovers at once. ie, drone swarm but with rovers and rfd900 in mission planner
@james_pattison do you have any idea how this has been achieved? any documentation for it? I would appreciate it.
