  • Onboard REALTIME Telemetry Cockpit Display | DJI FPV RC Freewing Avanti EDF JET | FIRST FLIGHT !
    2nd improved flight here: • AWESOME FPV FLIGHT | O...
    We have been a long time fan of the Freewing 80mm EDF Avanti as an aerobatic sport jet and it was about time we converted it to head tracked DJI FPV. We have designed our own smooth moving pan/tilt mechanism with a bearing and two servos that moves as the pilot on the ground moves his head. We use the FatShark External Head Tracker module but are also close to having our own 'Essential RC' head tracker. The flight footage is from 2 flights one of which was flying with Jason 8S powered Avanti which was difficult to keep up with. In future we'll have the same setup so can fly closer !
    In this video we also tested out the RCGauges realtime telemetry display. It is available in either standalone or iNav versions. We purchased and tried out the standalone 2 inch version. Although functionally it works very well it is not viewable in the bright sunny conditions when we flew, much like any other LED display. We'll be using this LED display again when its not so bright on cloudy days or in the late afternoon. We will also try it in other projects especially in cockpits that can provide a lot more shade. Look on www.RCGauges.com for more information.
    Note that to reduce the unfortunate flicker effect with the DJI FPV camera a Caddx 14MM ND8 filter should be used. This happens because of the mismatch in frame rate/frequency between the camera (60 fps) and the OLED (90 hertz). An ND filter on the camera forces the automatic shutter speed to be longer duration and this prevents most of the flickering. For the DJI FPV camera to have best focus the LED display needs to be 10cm to 12cm away. Ensure this can be accommodated in your cockpit layout. If not, then consider the smaller LED display sold by RCGauges.COM

      I suspect the guy at RC Gauges looked into that. Not sure there is a version small enough or programmable like this small OLEDs. I'm just a customer of RC Gauges demonstrating what I brought. I rely more on traditional FPV OSD now for my flying. These displays look good from a cosmetic point of view but aren't really good enough to help a pilot when he is flying.

    This is great Dom. I've been inspired by your projects and have an FPV EDF project underway. Going down the Inav path to get a good OSD integrated into the FPV view, but also means a lot more testing of the flight controller before taking to the skies.

      It does but it's a must to be honest. So many advantages to it especially return to home, autopilot etc on top of the normal telemetry. Very important especially to cover the scenarios where you get lost or lose video or control signal. I've got a couple of Matek 765s that I'll be using on future projects. Will do a video on that soon.

    Since most of these cameras use shutter speed and gain instead of an Iris, perhaps a +9 neutral density filter would slow the shutter down enough to make out the AHRS screen. It's an easy test. Very interesting video! A micro version of what I want in my full-size aircraft!

    Looks like the instrument panel was a fail, at least in this video. I could never see it. I would think all you need is airspeed and maybe AOA indexer lights. Another thing might be a gauge with a needle that always points out relative bearing back to base. It would need a pitot tube for airspeed sensing and an AOA sensor vane. The bearing back to base could be via GPS. With airspeed and AOA indexer, you will be at the correct airspeed for landing and maybe can fly a stabilized approach.

    I have tried this with a small android phone on board (there are many apps like efis ta) with DJI air system. Visibility of display was better than this, however sunlight was a challenge though (I had to cover the phone at all the edges with some success). The other challenge is the magnetic field that the brushless motor produced which cause erratic motions at the display). I tried some magnetic area covers which are so expensive and heavy. The better solution would be the using pusher motor plane to put more distance between the phone and the motor. Anyway, small andorid phones could be used to get an onboard display in fpv planes (of course even with the ideal conditions and settings the readings would not be so precise for the altitude and speed as it is gps based). Anyway, real time display with digital fpv for sure will make the hobby much more excited and safer…

    Real planes with glass cockpit have the same problem with brightness and contrast, the solution is to put a foil around the digital display, so that it casts a shadow over the image most of the time.

    Exciting setup. Did you ever consider putting the display back in a black box? Think of an unfolding laptop hood for outdoor use. Stoping direct sunlight and leaving only indirect sunlight would improve it. And since the pilot's "eye" is in a known position it should see through the box quite well. I am also wondering if you made a front 1/2 canopy out of curved card stock, perhaps everything inside the painted flat black if you wouldn't be able to see the screen. You'd be shading everything you can't see through anyway and the screen would be the brightest thing in that background.

If the hood were carefully shaped to only take up this visual space (not outside the edges of the foam in the view) you'd still have a straight shot at the camera.

      Tried various options and none really helped other than using a Caddx ND filter on the DJI camera to force reduction of its shutter speed and flying on a cloudy day. The latency of the data being displayed is quite slow as well. It's not really good enough to help me as a pilot.

    firstly place non relfective black tape over the white areas nearest the display to reduse sun relfection and light glare... the second pivot to the camera should be redesigned or camera moved forward to reduce pan tilt issues as well as allow it to be mounted inside an encoled cockpit and running two drinking straws as air inlets heated to bend and aimed at the top of the camera controller and a venturi type exhaust port cut onto the foam will provide ample cooling I would love to test this product and help evaluate a Version 2 I can also provide my updated camera mounting STL file so you can print and test out yourself included is also an STL with cooling ducts that can be placed into the foam body to provide cooling to the cockpit area and a venturi type exhaust port that can also be mounted to the body of the fuselage to use vacuum to expel hot air from the internals.
    I've learned as long as your inlets are smaller than your outlets AND/or the outlets are located in an area of lower pressure (most areas of drag or air layer separation) air will be sucked into the inlet and out the exhaust port. Respond and I will send my designs. I wish they had a way or sharing photos in comments lol.

    • @EssentialRC
      @EssentialRC  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It was disappointing in this video. I did improve it a lot by using a Caddx ND filter on the camera but still not to the point where I would rely on it. This was a while ago. I use DJI OSD now. There's a hope we'll be able to customise that in the future to be a more realistic HUD. The cockpit display was a little laggy anyway. OSD telemetry is almost instant.

    Mhh... The potential _is_ there but man does it _not_ live up to it... I skipped through parts of the video and may have skipped over it but why can't the Screen be set to a lower 60Hz if 90Hz is its upper limit? I imagine the DJI Camera having a 60Hz upper limit with downward adjustability would mean it doing like 15-30-60Hz? If the Screen were to run at a _constant_ 60Hz then even with the Camera switching between modes should have it run at a synchronous multiple of 15Hz whereas with 90Hz it'll only ever run synchronous at 1/3 of the time. I mean... The obvious choice though would be the use of an OLED Screen that doesn't have a TFT like refresh rate.
    Also maybe consider adding a considerably far into the cockpit extending canopy over the screen to create a shadow box around it?
    If done properly it shouldn't impede vision with the camera but _may_ help with visibility... I mean... Cockpits in real fighter jets have them soo... yea? 🤔
    Something else that is bothering me is the location of the Tilt Axis on for the FPV Camera... Why is it so far off the camera housing near the base of the Pan Axis? Wouldn't you want it to be more in line with the housing of the Camera and thus more closely resembling the motion of a _Head_ tilting up and down instead of going full Giraffe lowering not only the Head but _also_ the Neck and all? 🤨

    • @EssentialRC
      @EssentialRC  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You're right but it was first attempt. The camera shutter speed is automatic so we forced it to be slower by using an ND filter. I experimented with a hood but it didn't help much when travelling away from the sun on a cloudless day. Regarding the pan/tilt...I didn't design it but it works well enough. I rely more on OSD telemetry in the FPV goggles now. Faster refresh and lower latency. Here's a later attempt with the OLED display. th-cam.com/video/uaSn3-eYFTU/w-d-xo.html
