Even if your receiver and flight controller don't support RSSI, you can still put RSSI into your Betaflight OSD. You just need to be running OpenTX. I'll show you how!
This video is an update to Oscar Liang's article, "GET RSSI IN PPM/SBUS CHANNEL WITH TARANIS". l used to refer people to that article, but it's a bit out of date with OpenTX 2.2 and Betaflight 3.2.4.

I got the Kopis 1 because of you as my first drone this spring. I was practicing with little whoops indoors and the big scary race drone was still very intimidating! Now, thanks to you and other really cool channels, I am already flying acro FPV and getting into the trick tutorials. What a great hobby with folks like you, teaching us something EVERYDAY! Keep up the great work, liked and subbed!
I was trying to get RSSI on my OSD for about 2 weeks to no avail. After watching this video it was a matter of 5 minutes. Thank you JB !
Idem
Thanks a lot!
Worth to mention: If you have activated RSSI_ADC value in the config tab you will not be able to save the channel setting (think that was posted here, too). Took me a while to figure that out. Now it´s working! Thanks again :)
It is funny to see my reaction on youre video 2 years ago, bought the diatone Roma f1 and needed to set the OSD RSSI like the way in this video. THANKS AGAIN !! forgot how to do it, you are the best.
This man is a legend, I just started flying and I am loving it. I am 19 years old and it is quite expensive for me so I realy need my RSSI value to show on my OSD. Joshua Bardwell you are a life(Drone) saver
I am 47yo and love JB to for his clear and patient explanations. He must be very nice in real life too.
Thank you Joshua. I followed your steps exactly and now it is working for me. Like your catchphrase says "I learned something today".
been a subcriber for years. stopped flying for over a year. just started back up. and MY GOD! thank you so very much. Ive been looking for a proper setup vid for over an hour. i found MANY that allllmost explained it. but you freaking nailed EXACTLY what i needed to do and why.
I dunno why i didnt just search your video list to begin with.
Many Thanks. Been struggling with this for 2 days - searching, searching...until this. Don't understand the "why". But for now the step-by-step procedure is good enough for me.
For whatever reason I messed up something on my Taranis , I didn't have RSSI on OSD anymore (99% steady ) and I have forgot how to get it back again . You helped me out to remind some part of the process. Thanks!! Really appreciate your work!
This is an older post but it has helped me. I had done it once for my crux3 but I forgot how I did it when I got a new radio TX16s. Great to review things like this.
dude ive been scratching my head at this for weeks. thank you so much josh. youve saved me so many times.
Holy Mother of Pearl! I learned something today...and more than one thing! Thank You...again!
Thanks for this, just got a bnf chemeleon ti with rssi, I'll definitely be reviewing this video again when I set up when I get home from work
Thank you so much Josh!! I finally learned how to add RSSI on my OSD.
I was just searching for this last week!! There definitely needed to be better info for someone that had no clue how to make it work.
Thank you Joshua!!! This video solved the problem I’ve been having for months, with my telemetry readings!!!
GREATLY appreciate this man. I couldn't get RSSI working using XSR with CLRacing F7. Supposed to be simple, but it wasn't. Until this vid, I never knew I needed to do this...
Thank you! I'm going to try this. I am new and setting up RSSI has been kickin' my butt.
Thanks Joshua!
Never knew you could long press enter & bring up another menu!
Also another great video’ well done.
Mind blown! Thanks for sharing this Joshua !
Perfect timing. I was just reading Oscar's article today.
Cool. I've followed all your videos on the Taranis. Including setting up all the voice settings to call out voltage etc.. Problem is I really like to fly with music. So having everything on the OSD is actually more helpful than having things audibly called out. Especially when you can't hear it. Lol.... Also thank you for making it clear how to get caps when naming things.
I lean something almost every time i watch one of your videos . Thank you!
Never knew you can do that. Now I know & definitely learned something today. Excellent video Joshua!!
This one has been a godsend. A wholehearted TYVM!
Been trying to figure this out ,in the past, for some time now, great video JB . Thanks
HI Joshua, I am just getting started in FPV and I am finding your videos to be so informative. I have a QX 7 Tx and FS HD2 goggles and I am a bit confused about what and how much telemetry I am going to need to see on both. I want to fly safe and this RSSI information is one thing that I deem necessary to do so. Have you considered making a video that encompasses setting up a totally Frsky based quad using the QX 7 and supplying information on the best receiver to match with it? I would think it would help a lot of pilots like myself. There is so much to learn about building a quad and how everything fits together. I appreciate your work and tutorials very much. Thanks for your time.
Great, great, great video Joshua. Now it all works perfectly, you're the best!
I was subscribed to you but i didn't know why until i have trouble with betaflight (until i have my first betaflight fc) you are so helpful!
Thanks for sharing! Finally got the RSSI thingy work on my OSD!
Yuhuu, now I got RSSI on my OSD, I learned something today! Thanks!
love all your videos Bro you've helped me along with my quad problems over the past year I don't know where I would be if it wasn't for you and your videos keep it up and thank you for all the hard work👍you do to make these great videos
Thanks very much. That's very kind.
Yess, thank you! I always thought that I had to do some difficult telemetry thingy to get rssi in the osd. But now I got it, easy peasy Japanese 😁😅
Timing I was trying to do this and this video came out!! Great video.
SUPER!!
On Matek F411 wing - NO rssi on the flight controller!!
And -as resolt -no rssi on the screen osd.( only on Taranis.But i fly with glasses fpv)
I used this video for INAV with Frsky X8R ( it has rssi) !!
And i get RSSI on the osd!
Thanks Joshua!
Worked like a champ... just had to fully disconnect everything from power and re-power before it came up on my OSD with an HGLRC stack.
Thanks for this. I couldn't figure out why it seemed like everything was working except RSSI on the Setup page showed 0%. Power cycled and it's all good now. Thanks!
You are a damn genius sir. Every question I had today you answered immediately. Quad all set up. Time to fly!!
Wow the Stash ad was motivating!
Thank you for this video, it is a big help to setup the RSSI for OSD. Happy Fly!
This same setup has worked for over a year. JC had this on his channel. I'm happy you did it here as well, since your channel is ongoing. Has to be a telemetry receiver. The xm+ will not work this way but it automatically puts rssi on channel 8 or channel 16 depending on the firmware you use.
yes. if it does not work or show a fix rssi value of 50, then you need to update firmware on your XM+.
Fliptality yep
I solve my "OSD-RSSI not found problem" with your video! Very thanks!
This worked perfectly THANKS YOU SAVED ME A LOT OF TIME AND FRUSTRATION I WAS HAVING WITH THIS.
Awesome, this gives me the option if I have forgotten to update my XM+ to the newest version and already soldered to FC to just use this method. Beets having to desolder the receiver find a servo cable solder it to a receiver and then update it. Thanks, Joshua !
Thanks you so much I have looked everywhere for help on this and everyone made this task so complicated and your is so simple fast and doesn't require a bunch of soldering like others thanks jb
As always super useful and well explained. Thanks a lot JB
i watch a lot off your stuff. I am subscribing cause this video actually helped me. thanks.
Totally awesome Joshua. I was able to do it on d8 for my whoop too. Just had to disable a switch channel I wasn't using anyways.
This video has saved me from so much frustration! Thank you!!
Love you man! Totally forgot how to do this and found your video. Cheers brudda!!
Great work and thanks! I'm always flashed what the taranis can do!
At 3:46 I don't have Telemetry, I'm using a Taranis Q X7S. What should I do? Thanks!
You need to have telemetry enabled in your flight controller and you need to be using a telemetry-enabled receiver. Then you go to the Telemetry screen and do "discover sensors".
worked perfectly, thx you very much Joshua, keep up the good work
Exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks again!!
great work :-) this helped me loads. keep up the great work you do
Well over a year later and this works perfectly for my Vortex 250.. Cheers
I have a radiolink AT9 transmitter and the little receiver i use (r6dm?) doesn't have rssi pad. however, latest firmware for the AT9 lets you send rssi on an aux channel and this appears to work! tested on the bench only so far, but like your video, it appears to work. put my hand in front of the antenna and it drops, so it's definitely doing something! and it's much simpler to set up in the radio than in your demo.
Good vid for the library on how to set up RSSI . Thanks Need one for TBS crossfire / one on how to set up Taranis to adjust pids through radio if you haven’t covered that one. All stuff soon I’m getting too. I’m just a slow dog learning new tricks. Again thanks. I’ll be sure to send a bone soon for my support . Your awesome Joshua keep up the great job.
+Bill14886 look up my video 3in flight adjustments
Joshua Bardwell.... Will do. Oh yea,Id liced to see you get into the mini quads more. 2 to 4 inch. Baby Hawk on its way, looking foward to a great tune with 550mAh 3 s on it. :)
This really helped me thanks you Joshua you’re a legend
You are the most helpful and least abbrasive quad guru I've seen on yourube. You're a fuckin' gem. I honestly can't stand anyone else.
Another old video that's been useful today! Couldn't figure out how to set the damn scale!
Joshua I remember Project Blue Falcon did some tests with RSSI and he figured that if you go below around 40dB, chances of failsafe goes pretty high... It's a memory thing tho, I should go check back the video he did... Damn you college days, memory isn't what it's used to be
Joshua.. I love you. Thank you, I learnt something again today...
Thank you very much! Only thing missing was that RSSI analogue needs to be turned off in beta flight. Someone else mentioned it in the comments though.
Great work there! BTW the Horus X10 also supports this natively without changing to OpenTx. It's even easier to do...
Well, late to the party, but thanks so much JB! I have quads that wouldn't read RSSI, and I'm new, so I was just letting it slide. I just got 2 new ones hooked up because of your easy to follow video. I would ask people and they would say, "well... ya just need to set it up in BF" or " ya just set it up in your radio.". I was ready to give up. Now I have about 6 more I got to set up with FrSKY RXs , and I know it will work! Thanks again! Steve Harding _ SouthernOutlawDrones
Great Thank you! This was much needed!
Thanks for the help again Joshua
Thank you so much , my settings were so close but still miles off! Cheers
Dear Mr. Bardwell… I really appreciate the effort you put into your videos, but a vlog about “how many Bardwell video’s much I watch to fly (this thing)!?” would definitely kill it!!
Just kidding.. a bit. Love your videos man!
JD
Great tip!!! So easy, why haven't I thought about this... Baaah. Thanks, as always
JB with the straight-fire facts!
I did what you explained and have it showing in the receiver tab on AUX7. when I choose the rssi Chanel as 7 it doesn't show in the set up tab or OSD. Any suggestions?
Watching this again for my RXSR
Dude this is ultimate! Thank you!
Thanks man! Really apprechiate your help! Big Love
I can’t seem to get Betaflight to save my Aux Channel. And my RSSI still reads a very low 17% any ideas?
There are CLI commands which set the RSSI offset and scale. With these you can adjust the readout value on your OSD to match the RSSI telemetry page on your Taranis. The default value in Betaflight 4.2 was offset = -10 so my OSD readout was 10% low. The setting below gave me matching readouts.
set rssi_scale = 100
set rssi_offset = 0
Joshua, you can edit the RSSI unit in the Telemetry screen. Just go to the RSSI sensor, press Enter and Edit. Scroll down to the unit (probably dB, as per default) and change it to %.
How does this affect the output to the RSSI Channel, though?
As far as I know, it is only used as a local value for the telemetry screen and announcements.
good info as always JB. thank you.
You're a genius. Explained so well. Thanks!
HI Josh can I do this with a quad all ready bond to my receiver and setup all ready. I can't seem to discover NEW Sensors.
Awesome vid for my old shuriken 180 pro which didn't have osd. I've set up the microminim now, trying to get rssi from channel 8 of my FC, but the value I see on my osd for rssi keeps jumping around (I have calibrated the msowd using the sticks menu on my taranis and it does show 0for rssi when the radio is off and 100 when it's on, but the value jumps erratically down as low as 17!).
I have rssi invert on my cli.
Now patiently waiting for Bardwell's f.port vid :D
Hello Josh, with kiss v1 and huboosd8-se, the question is: in the hubosd8-if there is a pin for rssi, with the kiss you can bring in osd the rssi value? What should I connect to the rssi pad coming from the kiss?
so ive done this on a lot of quads now but decided to use an old xm+ in a micro after flashing the firmware allowing it to use RSSI. well now i can see the signal on aux 4 in betaflight assuming it is RSSI but its fluctuating between 1700s-1900s and when i discover sensors on qx7 nothing shows. when i use aux 4 in the osd italso fluctuates between 40db and higher without actually representing anything. any ideas?
Thx for your work :)
RSSI on OSD :) Mega.
Cool video! Worked like a charm
hey Josh, sorry for being off topic here..... is it me not being able to find it or do you normally not do anything on kiss? sorry if I missed anything there, pretty new here.
Hi Joshua, first of all thanks for your lessons, they are so helpful. Im
having issue with correct rssi value on my iflight cidora sl5 through
osd. I have r-xsr reciever and Im stuck with constant rssi value of 43
in betaflight config, where on taranis i have rssi near 100 (goes up and
down depending on how far i have gone, its ok). I thought the problem
was in old firmware 4.0, current 4.1.3, but issue is still there. I just
want to to be value to be the same both on taranis and in osd. I used
telemetry aux for sending value to osd. In reciever tab rssi value is
set to chosen RSSI channel, but normally rssi is visible when it is set
to analog mode in Configurator tab. In CLI rssi scale is set to 100.
Could you please advise on what to try? Many thanks from Russia!
Classic JB . Thanks for this made my RSSI work better . Problem I was having was even though I have rssi on my osd. The maximum signal was 33%??????? Standing right next to my drone. But on the taranis it measured 87DB. It should have measured 100% on the on OSD. OnCE I did your fix, the osd now measures 100% on the osd and the taranis is 87DB. Much easier to calcuate distanced to drop out now. AWESOME!
Mateo Fiuza Worku great info thanks had the same problem👍
@Mateo Fiuza Worku thanks man, had same problem!
@Mateo Fiuza Worku Dude !!! ..... Your one comment just solved three(3) hours of pain at my bench today. Thank-you Millions !!! You have saved many hair follicles (Nothing peronsal JB) Cheers much !! I had to reboot and save however. Done... Now it's finally on my OSD via the DYS F4 Pro V2 FC :)
Only use Spektrum Serial Telemetry RX’s and the reason that I only use those receivers is that I get battery voltage and RSSI sent to my radio and it is told to me verbally which is my preference as I personally don’t like to be distracted by OSD. Interesting vid if I ever jump ship and I like to see the competition 👍
Thanks Joshua. Worked like a charme !!!!!
Great vid Josh! Just got an XM+ RX for GTR90. Loaded latest firmware on it from FRSKY website (on TX SD card then wrote to XM+ RX from TX). Bound RX and TX fine. Have RSSI set up in BetaFlight on Aux 12 (channel 16). Betaflight shows in Receiver Tab that the RSSI on Aux 12 is working. However, the RSSI value in both BetaFlight and on OSD shows a value of 10-12 only. I have not put the quad back together becuase of this. Am I missing something. Is this the actual value of the RSSI (I'm guessing so) or do I have the RSSI range set up improperly (if that's even possible)? Thanks go out to anyone who can/will help.
Hi Joshua, i have the XM+ i have RSSI on my OSD, is there a way to have Taranis read out the RSSI ? or be able to use the taranis to check your signal strength? For example, if i lose my Quad in tall grass and i have no video, is there a way to use my Taranis pin point in what direction i need to look for my quad.
thank you for helping me out on getting my mobula 7 hd in air finally. im getting used to the fpv flying/specially the quad...its going slow but it is fun. one thing i noticed is that I am not able to have my OSD displayed on my goggles. i have set it u in betaflight...... as much as i understood it... or not. The only thing that shows up is the cross hairs in the middle of the screen. i have played with that tab and settings in there but not sure what i am missing.
Joshua Bardwell, how are my friend? when I discover new sensors(qx7) nothing happens. I actually have a value of 18 in osd that rises as I get a weaker signal, can you help with this problem?
Thanks, JB! You rock!
Hi Joshua, is there any way to do the same on the BetaFPV Lite Radio 2 SE radio? I am not able to get the RSSI by using an Frsky R-XSR reveiver. However, if I use an Frsky XM receiver, the radio is able to get the RSSI
With a long press in the menu INPUTS I do not have a tab TELEMETRY ( Taranis qx7)There are all tabs - except telemetry.
What could be the problem?
Thank you.
Ok I followed along and did everything the way you did, I have telemetry output enabled on my FC and I can see the telemetry working on the receivers tab, but when I enable it on my Aux channel it won't show up on the Setup tab in Betaflight. Using an X4RSB receiver
Nevermind I got it working. Thanks for the great videos!
