[@edwardharrison28]

As a newbie I learn the most from your videos. I like the way you cut the bullshj*t and get to the point.

[@bri3d]

A few notes from the main author of msp-osd (me): * Yes, DVR works fine. I re-introduced this functionality in August when I re-wrote the MSP DisplayPort overlay to co-exist with the DJI goggles overlay. No functionality should be lost by using msp-osd (although there is a known bug, see below:) * Low Power Mode is always on before arming right now. Full power unlocks when you arm, as it always has. Most people fly this way anyway, if you don't know which way you fly, this is the way it already works for you. But for those who turn Low Power Mode Off intentionally using the Auto Temperature Control option, right now you need to re-select Auto Temperature Control Off each time you boot. I am working on fixing this sometime this week - this video caught me a bit by surprise and I'd hoped to have it done earlier so I could say "no known bugs" :) * It is very unlikely to be possible to record the OSD into the video directly from the goggles. The V1/V2 FPV Goggles don't have a lot of CPU power available, and software compositing high resolution video is quite CPU and memory bandwidth intensive. However, what we plan to do in the future is to write the OSD data to a file alongside the video (similar to the .srt files DJI uses today), and build a companion application which can "burn" the OSD data into the video on a computer later.

[@prafulgupta7004]

It would be really good addition if we can record the osd. Thanks for the great work !!

[@Shauny_D]

Sweet! I'm excited to try this. I use v1 goggles and an analog module for tinywhoops and the awesome dvr on analog module. Any concerns or changes on analog module usage? Latency? DVR?

Oh and .srt files are read as a subtitle track in most video editors so you could have it spot..srt and not need a companion app.

Hey JB, have you ever considered running a fan under the table with duct work tube to the table top? If the fan noise really bothers you, that could be a clever fix.

[@anthonyshort8957]

Very nice. Works as advertised. The only thing I ran into was having to root twice, both the goggles and the vista. After the first time the configurator couldn't find a device to connect to. Apart from that, I just followed the video, didn't need to go to the github repo for anything. Very polished tools for a v1 root hack. Thank you everyone involved.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

Yeah you have to root both. Otherwise you can't install the plug ins

Thank you JB and the WTF team. Just a side question... if for some reason DJI releases a feature that interests the FPV world in a future release and we decide to apply an official release after rooting... do we just use the Bind and Power step to revert back... or once we are rooted... do we have to stay in the rooted world? Not that I expect DJI would release something worthy of potentially not having what WTF built... but was just wondering.

[@testpilotian3188]

Just FYI there is still a bug in the OSD code where the vista will go into low power mode regardless of whether the auto temp control is set to off or on in the googles, this is only really a problem if you run your vista with auto temp control off and like it start recording manually, if you run it on you won’t notice any difference. The present solution is to go into the googles menu, select auto temp control and change it to on, then change it to off and the vista will then respect the setting until the next power cycle (yeah you have to do this every time). They are working on it, but it’s only just been discovered so won’t be fixed quickly.

[@OdysseusVrakas]

I thought it was just my unit. Good to know

[@REAL_N3W]

So just set it to ON ? But it wont be on low power mode after arming?

[@pardonmefpv2496]

I appreciate this comment so much thank you! Been trying to play around to get rid of that low power bs. Thanks for the fix!!!

[@testpilotian3188]

@@REAL_N3W that’s correct, whatever your setting in the googles it’ll arm and unlock as normal once you arm. I personally like to run with auto temp control off because if I get stuck in a tree, I can still get video and turtle out of the tree after I’ve disarmed. If you run with it on when you disarm the vista goes into low power mode and 90% of the time the googles will loose sync from the vista and loose the video signal, which can depending how high you are in the tree or how far away the tree is, can make it difficult to turtle out.

Patience pays off, once again. I have been waiting on this to pull the trigger on rooting mine. I have v2s -AND- a DJI FPV drone, so I didn't risk it while experimental, and didn't want anything to update and lock me out.

[@testpilotian3188]

I did it a few weeks ago. It’s seamless but I would advice if you can use a power supply rather than a battery and have a desk fan pointing at the gear while rooting. Also rooting can take a few minutes and during the process you might get a “cannot find device” message, just ignore it and don’t be tempted to start fiddling, the configurator will find the headset after a few seconds.

[@willpowerfpv3246]

So stoked that this is a thing. Been waiting ever since I first heard about the root hack. Personally, I'm not super interested in the osd, but I really hope we see the 60 Mbps plug in at some point. Thanks to everyone involved for their hard work. 🙏🏻

[@Invid72]

The killer feature I want is recording the OSD overlay on the video stream from the goggles. I want the OSD recorded on my video just like on analog.

[@testpilotian3188]

If they do do that I hope it’s optional.

[@stylesuxx]

There probably will be a feature in the future to record OSD and then compose it over DVR footage.

[@Invid72]

@@stylesuxx Thanks for your reply and contributions to the project.

[@Gosuminer]

Their FAQ states that this would be very difficult because of how the video layers and focus mode work. What you could always do though is creating OSD text from blackbox data and adding that as an overlay in a video editing software. IIRC there are scripts that automate that process that even give you fancy gauges for speed and current. What developers could propably do without too much effort is writing subtitle files onto the internal storage of a Vista, just like the Air Unit does.

[@LetsFlyRC]

Use hdmi out and a capture card if you want it bad enough. Definitely would be a cool feature if it was optional.

[@cornfieldcrawlers9907]

Great info. I like your ability to dumb down the info for us noobs to understand. I am really playing catchup at the moment and trying to crash course FPV. A sub $100 analog system opened Pandora's box for me. I am putting together a FPV trail truck to start, fast stuff later. I went full in and got a pair of Dji Googles 2 and 03 air unit. I am mounting the camera on a Motionsic B.A.G. and the vtx will be heatsinked + fans to aid cooling. Vehicle control will be handled by a Radiolink RC8X, which is head tracker compatible, and up to 800 meter range. Where I am having issues is getting the OSD functions I want. I really want vehicle speed on screen and pitch/roll would be a nice bonus as well. There doesn`t appear to be any surface specific hardware available so I am looking at drone parts. I think I need to install a flight controller and gps module to get the OSD I want so I can then also use beta flight for settings. I think I could also power the two 5v fans from the flight controller?? I have step down modules on hand if not. Any recommendations for a FC + GPS module that may serve my needs?? Any issues I may see with the RC8FG rx and FC interacting? I believe I will need to "arm" the FC to unlock the airunits powerswitching?? Obviously not a budget minded build and the chassis won`t notice the extra weight. I will have the camera system mounted and working soon, should still be a ton of fun without the OSD, but I am hoping to work out the osd.

[@mouseFPV]

Okay so what actually changes when you turned off custom OSD in the goggles? There was like mah, and something ae that went away.... Why were those there in the first place? I guess that's all that confused me. Great vid JB! Also, I wonder if when the update comes to make the v2 goggles work with the O3AU, if they will lock out root or whatever 🤔

[@OdysseusVrakas]

What that takes away is the few supporedt OSD elements that DJI supports over MSP, like battery voltage, GPS info and a few others. And it will be shown in DJI goggles font. Custom OSD isn't needed anymore since you have direct access to betaflgiht OSD.

[@CinematicMorris]

[@TheM3ras]

Yes, what about live audio? Do you need to do something extra or just this one thing and yoi get both full OSD and live audio?

[@j005u]

Live audio is currently only available for the V1 Goggles, because we re-enabled some dormant audio code DJI had left around. This code is not present on the V2 firmware. For V1s it's actually missing from the configurator currently, but it will return soon. For the V2 Goggles someone would need to write a new audio system from scratch. There were some early experiments but latency was bad. Like half a second bad. So it's a lot of work.

Dang you are one lucky man, found a way to make a living doing something that's you like and looks fun. My first drone , was last seen flying northwest ... something failed . Expensive mistake , but lesson learned next venture was smaller but lacked function , by the 4th venture, full functions were realized. Since that time improvements have been made, but the project that has vexed me, has wings, and duct fans , and requires 13 of 16 channels , oh , it's a, YRF-4E. It was an experimental F4b Phantom, with cannards , it lived just up the road at WPAFB. I saw it first in 1967 or 8 , and made a decision to model it. Time with 6 kids , and money for such, well it became a retirement project. For a dozen years I have built and crashed ... went to WPAFB to capture details 2 cameras and lots of memory cards. They lost the plane, along with the staff we looked high and low. Wrote on FB about losing a prototype aircraft, gosh the airforce got mad ...lol . Yea well they didn't drag their wife around the base for hours looking for the plane. In a cranky letter , they explained it was out for paint. Several years went by and it was still out for paint. So I offered to come up and help after all I had some slightly used paint brushes out in the shed ... you know they still have no sense of humor. Now it's status is in storage . My tiny prototype flew across the yard and into the neighbors yard, ... since then every try has met with disaster, exploding fan units , failed servos, burnt wiring ...currently 3 new attempts lay about my work area, but I got old, hand and eyes ... ifvi build it , I don't trust myself to fly it. Well at least thevprototype flew, and is on rc groups ..., it was destroyed when I moved, oh well .

For those thinking of doing this, but are dreading the task of having to convert all air units, let me assure you that the assumption is incorrect. You can, in fact, root, install WTFOS and install the MSP OSD package on the goggles and an unrooted air unit will still send its custom OSD. There is one downside in that the WTFOS blinks "Waiting for OSD..." in the bottom right corner. It isn't completely in the way, but would be nice if that didn't happen while Custom OSD was turned on!

Thanks JB for taking us through this and thanks to the FPV-WTF Team. So far I'm sticking with Digital Font, that is until you tell us the one you prefer.

I wish there was a really good high definition font that gave thinner text. For now, I can't decide which one i like the least.

[@j005u]

@@JoshuaBardwell A few people are working on bringing font installation and selection to the configurator. Hopefully some time soon after launch. That'll make it easier to find one you like. But there's another side to this coin, which is the fact that BF doesn't yet support an HD MSP DP grid (unlike iNav and Ardu). This means while we can make the characters smaller on the SD grid, the positioning remains exactly the same. So character spacing grows in a weird way, when the font gets smaller. At one point it starts looking ridiculous. We're talking to the BF devs about solutions.

[@j005u]

I forgot to add - todays msp-osd v0.6.3 update brings an optional "fakehd" mode which does funny things to the grid and chops it up. Parts of the screen become dead zones and the rest have a higher resolution grid available. Check it out, details in msp-osd README.

The instructions changed in 4.4. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaXMXmmijMh9h7c

[@JoshuaBardwell]

THE INSTRUCTIONS CHANGED IN 4.4 GO WATCH THE VIDEO I LINKED YOU ABOVE IT HAS THE UPDATED INSTRUCTIONS.

[@TheDroneWarrior]

So after rooting like in the video, will we have the audio or is that a separate mod? I miss the audio so much. I flew the DJI FPV Drone with audio and it worked really well. Was so nice to be able to hear what the drone is doing at distance.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

Audio is a separate mod, but I'll release that video after Friday so as to not create any more work for the devs.

[@gingefpv]

I've been holding off on this for a while. With winter coming, this is something i'm going to do.

[@AirKhanFPV]

More pressure to DJI to make the Goggles 2 compatible with the old air units, love it! 😂👍

Having an issue Config ver. 10.9.0 Firmware 4.4.2 "Set displayport_msp_serial" Doesn't seem to still be a command??

[@KOrnhOliO1]

OMG - JB is a kid in a candy store! That look when it all displayed in your goggles was hilarious and classic! Someone please make a meme of that! 🤣👋

[@likebliss]

I was so excited to see this notification today! …but then remembered that my goggles came on the latest firmware 😭

[@jaymatlock5987]

A few notes from the root process from my experience on V01.00.0608 - close DJI assistant app! If you have it open, it will appear on COM portXX but will not start the root process. - takes about 2-3 minutes total, goggles will reboot several times. There are 5 steps in total, and if you've done it correctly the root text should look like this: 00:02 Attempting Step 1... 00:16 - Found Device: GL150, Version: 01.00.0608 00:16 Step 1 - Success! Rebooting... 00:32 Attempting Step 2... 00:49 Step 2 - Success! Rebooting... 01:05 Attempting Step 3... 01:15 Step 3 - Success! 01:15 Attempting Step 4... 01:20 Step 4 - Success! Rebooting... 01:20 Device went away... 01:20 Device came back... 01:39 Attempting Step 5... 01:41 Device went away... 01:42 Device came back... 01:44 Step 5 - Success! Rebooting... 01:57 All done - your device has been successfully rooted!

So no problems with 608 ?

[@jaymatlock5987]

@@LCSRacing worked for me

[@senditsamfpv]

Ok my problem is I don't have video format options. At 10:29 you don't have it either then at 11:26 you do have it. Was it because of the preset?

[@nuvolone83]

@Joshua Bardwell thanks for the tutorial! I just rooted my DJIs and Caddx Vista, the OSD layer works perfectly but post flight stats don’t show up. I’m wondering if my fc doesn’t support the feature (iFlight SucceX-E F405)

[@JoshuaBardwell]

All Betaflight FC should support the same OSD functionality. Post-flight stats disappear if you raise throttle after disarming. Could that be related?

[@20basty]

this is great, will test soon

[@bengordon7635]

why do you need betaflight OSD on my I flight drone connects like the Avata I see all the same rssi and battery like the avata or i can use beta flight it all just starting working out of nowhere even the timer is working now like the avata but what's the difference I have double readings now 2 battery levels 2 signal levels from my ELRS transmitter with skystar hd pro 7 although I like the double readings n each side works good

[@imjackson.]

I am super stuck. I was able to get some betaflight text to pop up on my OSD while powering on, but once it completes the power on I get no betaflight OSD. The real issue is that according to my RC I'm bound and have signal but I get no response from the quad in or out of betaflight. I'm not sure where I went wrong so I'm not sure what to reset. All I want is to be able to monitor my LQ...

[@65chacal]

How to Enable MSP OSD In INAV? I can't get it to work in INAV because the CLI commands are not accepted in INAV. What I'm missing?

[@DINSTAAR-FPV]

Have any of the steps changed with the Betaflight CLI commands, since the newest Beta Flight 4.4 update? I'm getting the following error, '###ERROR IN set: INVALID NAME: displayport_msp_serial = 1###', after I enter, 'set displayport_msp_serial = 1', when typing in the second CLI command. My VTX is on UART2, and my ELRS receiver is on UART1. I was able to successfully root both Goggles V2, and my Caddx Vista, and this is the only issue I have had in the whole process. What do you think I should do? If anyone else has had this issue, please let me know what you did to resolve it. Thank you in advance for your help.

[@DINSTAAR-FPV]

After posting this, I looked in the comments and found Joshua responded to this very issue. He has created video addressing it titled, 'Betaflight HD OSD with DJI Walksnail & HDZero // HOW TO SET UP'. Thank you JB!!

[@overtorquednut]

It is so nice to finally this basic feature right before these goggles are made obsolete!

[@sunshynff]

Great video and tutorial Joshua!! Two quick questions for ya, or anyone else that knows.... 1) a few of my builds still using the DJI controller, does that need to be rooted too, or just leave it as is? 2) If I root my goggles and a couple of my active air units,, then go to use a quad in which the air unit is not rooted and on factory DJI 0606 firmware, will I just "not" get the BF OSD, or will the goggles not even work with an air unit with different firmware? Thanks!!

[@JoshuaBardwell]

The controller doesn't need to be rooted as far as I know. I'm not even sure it can be. You can safely mix and match rooted and non-rooted systems. You will just see "WAITING FOR OSD" at the bottom of the screen I think. The other thing is, if you turn off the "Custom OSD" option for your rooted quads, you'll need to turn it back on for your non-rooted ones. Or you could arrange your DJI "custom OSD" so it is off to the side and doesn't interfere with your betaflight OSD.

[@sunshynff]

@@JoshuaBardwell .. Perfect. thanks Joshua!

[@saiyanfpv5358]

So I am one of the few that has the dji fpv drone. I did get on the dji assistant and it shows I’m on the 0015 firmware. There is a video on downgrading. Is that a legit option?

[@JoshuaBardwell]

If you have the 0015 firmware, there is currently no path to root. You're just out of luck at this time.

[@iTurbo25]

Awesome Video! I had a question, This worked on 1 out of 3 of my drones. The step that I'm having trouble with would be when in CLI setting up the (set displayport_msp_serial ) SERIAL option will not come up. If working correctly I would use set displayport_msp_serial = 0 as I did on the drone that did work. Any one have advice?

[@justinjohnstone1043]

same isuue here on BF4.4 - variable "displayport_msp_serial" is not found so cannot set it. Can anyone advise please?

[@BooyaFPV]

Another great Video Joshua ❤️💯.... Thank you so much...... Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

Does this osd to have it all in DJI goggles have to do if the FC has or not the osd chip set? Most of them have it but for example the t-motor f7 HD doesn't have it.. will it work with it? I just bought all the best T-motor parts FC f7 Pro (with WiFi Bluetooth etc) the F55A pro and f60pro motors...the weirdest thing happened...i carefully soldered the motors and battery and i tested the drone without add the DJI air unit And it was flying perfect...the only thing I had was to add with the plug n play harness the unit And have video....but then proof smoke came out... I was shocked I rechecked And nothing was touching anything or any naked wire.... finally I noticed that the plug caused it cause the plug in the 5th wire was burned and got black from the heat...i didn't wait to tell the Chinese store and I bought almost double price the same ESC cause the other was dead and now the drone powers up but that plug for the air unit isn't working as the rest of the pads which I could solder it at least....some regulator is dead and on the FC... WiFi and the pads from the side where the crossfire reciever is connected is working... so I can fly but without air unit or any camera....what can I do is this repairable? I mean this small part on the FC which caused me this damages and I so disappointed and frustrated i had to buy new ESC from local store 128euros when from Chinese store I got it 78usd... also now I can't fly without camera....can I replace from other t-motor f7 HD the regulator to maybe fix it cause I can't wait any longer to fly and the store isn't reply fast....i should get refund for the ESC and at least re-send me a new FC pro again cause they have it the cheapest in the world too...67usd when in other stores I see it around 100usd or more.....

[@skygeekz6276]

Since this is the right group to ask, I am struggling to find a list of air units that the DJI FPV Goggles V2 can be made to work with (whether by default or modded). Could help future drone purchase decisions and would love to use them with my Mavic Mini and Mavic Air 2 instead of just my DJI FPV drone. Thank you in advance!!

[@JoshuaBardwell]

I've got info about that here www.fpvknowitall.com/fpv-shopping-list-hd-fpv-drones-and-parts/ They won't work with your Mavic, unfortunately.
