[@Ddraig62SPD]

You're a life saver Joshua (again)! My OSD elements were offset on my latest (first O3) build so I was wracking my brain trying to figure out the root cause. I was actually searching for the correct O3 canvas width/height settings to use in my CLI when I stumbled across your video. I had copied all of my OSD settings from my last BF4.4 Vista build so that explains why I had the wrong BF canvas settings. Thanks for explaining the changes for O3 .... including the change from 'normal' to 'HD' canvas mode that I need to make in my goggles. All working correctly now. Thx again ... I learned something today 👍

[@SSdroner]

Thanks so much.. I asked someone else a few weeks ago why my cross hairs on my Pavo Pico were off to the right on my OSD. They told me to make sure the OSD was on HD. Which it was in Betaflight. They didn’t tell tell me to go into my goggles and change the settings in my goggles. Love the way you explain FPV.

HI! can not see HD option in Configurator osd page.....

[@SkeezyFPV]

FYI: if you update the v2 goggles with the newest firmware to enable the HD canvas mode and have an avata that you haven’t updated with the RID firmware you will get an error that says incompatible goggles firmware but the Avata will still fly just fine. You can clear the error in the Status menu. I updated my v2s last Saturday and set up the HD OSD in bf4.4, chose the DJI HD preset, and didn’t have to do anything in the CLI. It works fantastic. I flew four packs with the O3 air unit and two batteries with the Avata with zero issues. I’m assuming the preset took care of the CLI stuff JB did because I sure as hell didn’t do any of that and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the vid, JB.

can you do a camera manual parameter setting video on night day and cloudy settings 03 unit .. thanks 🥰🥰😃😃😃

[@mikebergman1817]

In case anyone gets the warning message “Incompatible goggles, air unit and camera” which happens if you swap just the camera or just the vtx (they come calibrated together from the factory..) you will need to plug it in to Dji assistant 2-Consumer Drone version, and calibrate them. In this case you have to connect to power. Then after you plug in power, a pop up will automatically ask you if you would like to calibrate the camera, and you choose yes. Only takes a few seconds, and it’s all good. I went through this after shearing the m1.6 screws on one of my o3’s, and swapping it out.. just something to keep in mind..

[@2bfpv882]

Thanks Mike I couldn't figure that shit out tha life of me owe ya one

[@SikhFPV]

Lol you swapped it out because of that? You never heard of double sided VHB tape? It’s actually better than screwing it in

[@mikebergman1817]

@@SikhFPV ​ Perhaps if doing so from the beginning, but the screws hold the two halves from falling apart as well. Using VHB would only be securing the bottom metal cover. You could argue that zip ties would solve that issue, but that was my first o3 build. No idea what the heat was going to be like. Easier to just swap it out and order screws and replace. Rather than gambling on ruining a brand new $170 vtx.

can you help me josh? osd from fettec fc to the goggles 2 and air unut 03? how does it work? does it work? 🤯🤨

[@KainniaK]

This helped me today. I had everything working on goggles v2, but just today DJI I got access to a beta firmware version of the goggles 3 that fix the black screen bug. So after upgrading all my firmware, I got my 03 air unit to bind to the goggles 3. No problems there. But the OSD was messed up! My voltage reading where gone. The fix, switch canvas mode from normal to HD. Thanks Joshua! The reason I did not know this is because somebody else setup 03 and the goggles v2 for me so I did not know about the canvas option in the goggles. Question: I assume that OSD is just like ascii text send allong with the video signal that the goggles then render with a font? When you have osd on analog is that the FC mixing a video layer with text already rendered into the video signal? I assume so becase when flying analog and getting break up, my osd also breaks up.

@@JoshuaBardwell can you run 700W VTX from a lipo balance plug? it seems to wrok I'm using the matek buck set at 8V. Thats another question, should you set the buck at 8 if the VTX can take higher voltage? I think it's better to let the buck take the heat. then the other thing is should you tap the balance at the full voltage or at a voltage just above what the buck is set at, won't that discharge the battery unevenly maybe?

[@JoshuaBardwell]

700 mW vTX from a balance plug is no problem. Running the regulator at higher power will lower the amps pulled, but decrease the ability of the regulator to filter power. It's a bit of a tossup. Definitely tap the balance plug at full voltage.
