DigiView for Raspberry Pi

v0.4-alpha

2 years ago

This is the fourth alpha release of the DigiView image for Raspberry Pi. See Change Log below for more details.

This image is compatible with Pi2B and better, and can be run on Pi Zero by changing the GPU memory allocation (See README.MD for details).

Release Notes

This version has no features other than live video out of digital fpv goggles via USB.

The first time you boot, you should expect it to take a while and reboot itself. Be patient and don't interrupt the Pi, this is normal behavior.

  • Unzip and flash to a MicroSD card using a tool like Balena Etcher.
  • Connect a monitor, then connect power supply to the Pi (The Pi will boot twice the first time you power it up).
  • When the DigiView logo is on the screen, power your air unit and goggles, then attach your goggles to the Pi.
  • Your FPV feed should start playing. If it doesn't show up in a few seconds, replug the goggles into the Pi.
  • When you're done, disconnect the USB and the app will close.
  • There are two ways to shut down the Pi without a mouse and keyboard. If you have a touch screen, you can long press on the desktop and select Shutdown from the menu that appears. If you don't have a touch screen, the other option is to pull GPIO 26 to ground for 5 seconds (i.e., with a momentary switch between GPIO 26 and the ground pin adjacent to GPIO 26).
  • If the video output appears squeezed/stretched, connect a mouse and right-click on the desktop. Select the EDID Toggle option, select yes on the confirmation dialog and wait for the Pi to reboot. This seems to be a problem mainly for cheap/low-end displays.

Known Release Issues

  • If you use a DSI monitor, the graphics don't scale properly. This is due to HDMI hot plugging being enabled, which will be removed in the next release.

Change Log

  • Screen blanking disabled
  • EDID Toggle added
