Betaflight 4.3 OSD Tab | COMPLETE WALKTHROUGH PART 10

[@gucciman420]

I love watching these BF 4.3 videos. It’s more entertaining than 99.9% of Netflix series.

[@banzaiib]

and a better love story than Twilight.

[@PollokPoochesDogWalking]

​@@banzaiib after watching them all I can confidently say JB could have fitted more than one person on the door at the end of Titanic

[@adidadi99]

True

[@bkfpv]

1hr video on OSD tab alone? Damn Bardwell. As always no shortcuts. Superb series. Thank you for making these.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

I said everything! I'm doing my best to live up to it.

@@JoshuaBardwell Goggles 2 OSD setup for OS3 for a future video JB?

[@StasGurus]

@@JoshuaBardwellhi! Is it possible to add my own data to osd? For example I want to fly 10km and is it possible to calculate and show how many distance left to achieve this goal?

[@CameronRidgeMedia]

Your thoroughness in these new 4.3 tutorials has been second to none. I would be a lot more frustrated about this hobby without you. Thank you for all that you do Joshua.

[@Jyoung5200]

To clarify it’s 400 feet not meters. Thanks for everything JB. Great videos. 👍🏻

[@YarosMallorca]

17:50 - a little correction, in the US you should stay below 400 feet, not meters. 400 feet would be 120 meters.

[@UpdraftDrones]

17:51 You say "stay below 400 meters" I wish! That's 400 feet, JB. Awesome video and super helpful as always! Thanks for teaching us all.

[@Crypto_Rookie]

Thanks Josh , your great value mate.

[@AvallonYo]

First! Finally I’m quick enough. Keep it up JB

[@seb-depp]

Crazy amount of work, especially with the jump marks. Well done!

[@24-7evan]

I gotta say... these Betaflight walkthrough videos are so thorough, and incredibly helpful! PLEASE do not stop making them as they are single handedly allowing me not punch a whole in my computer out of frustration.

[@krazed0451]

Sidebars provide visual divisioning as well as a reference for vertical alignment towards the centre of the screen. Both of these are useful for framing with videography, and for aligning the quad on more distant objects for precision flight... Plus they look cool 😅

[@jonah6496]

This is a great series! Everyone watching the whole thing will be a Betaflight expert by the end of it! You're covering a lot of options that I wasn't sure about, and some of them are pretty cool! Total flights? I had no idea the FC kept track of that!

[@ownzies100]

I wonder how it tracks though. If it was simply tracking the amount of arms, it could be pretty inaccurate because of arming/disarming to check motors and turtle mode etc

[@TONY...GTB6]

Thanks!

[@CC_FPV]

Thanks

[@BHSFPVDroneClub]

Great Video! I have watched the whole playlist and have learned a ton. I am ready for PID Tuning!

[@zg6038]

These are great videos, thanks JB. You answered a lot of detailed questions about features most of us would have never used, making us all better. thanks Again...

[@BeastlyKings]

Greatly appreciate all the information! I've been following since the beginning, and I'm looking forward to the pid tab

[@jasflyfpv9655]

Thank you for your work on making fpv hobby more easy to get into.

[@wearemany73]

This BF series is brilliantly useful. Thank you JB. 😊

[@andresdelgado6778]

Always excellent information, we don't have words to express our gratitude for all you do for the FPV community. Thank you again. NOTE: For altitude warning you meant to say that BF altitude is on meters, however 400 is max. altitude in feet in accordance with FAA part 107 CFR in the U.S.A.

[@ryankanefitzgerald]

Grinding though school... wow. Thanks for making all of these. Game charging series.

[@RodcaFPV]

I started yesterday and I'm just about to watch the last episode, at the ending of this video I thought you were gonna talk about dji system set up only as you actually did with VTXs, It would be cool to have a video where you cover all about at once. Thank you so much for these series, I'm liking all of the videos in a row (this was perfect timing cuz I'm just finishing a new couple builds)

[@Drieeedger]

regarding the RTC date and time.. thr DVR in my eachine EV200D goggles timestamps all my recordings in minutes from when the goggles were powered up starting in Dec 31st 2010... so having the date and time on the osd can help a lot with identifying flights and lining them up with hd footage or blackbox logs

[@Kiprasjurse]

keep the good work up joshua,

[@SharpTurnsFPV]

Id like to see the footage from the James bond spy cam blackbox log mentioned at 32:41

[@tdillondaniel]

Thanks JB. Great informative video as always.

[@Glenn.J]

Truly a really great playlist. From since when I am in RC (a little more than a decade now), this is the first time I have watched all videos in a playlist, minute by minute and start to end. I can never ever do something like this, this is a lot of hard work, perseverance and patience, thank you for this JB! When can we expect the next episode? I am stuck to this playlist, my family thinks I am preparing for an exam lol., Also for those using FrSky R9 S port telemetry, the "TX Uplink Power" on OSD is NOT working, shows 0 all the time - if this helps anybody.

[@LalapopApple]

Thanks JB 👍 Hope this helps many people. Love Ur Tutorial content. Was so glad to found Ur tyro Video Back Then.... And that was Just the beginning 😅

[@radholm2628]

Thanks for your diligent work, happy to be a patron!!

[@PerryNguyen]

Hi Joshua, thank you so much for spending the time to put this content together. It is very much appreciated. Would you please share the Lua script you mentioned for setting RTC over telemetry? I would really like to check it out. Cheers!

[@JoshuaBardwell]

It's part of the Betaflight Lua script. It's set up as a Special Function. github.com/betaflight/betaflight-tx-lua-scripts#background-script

[@PerryNguyen]

@@JoshuaBardwell thank you for the link, I was digging around the wrong place looking for it in edgetx

[@dma_k]

To set timezone correction for "RTC date and time" OSD setting enter "set timezone_offset_minutes = 180" (apply your timezone) in Betaflight CLI, and for "Tx uplink power" to display the meaningful value (otherwise it is always zero) enter "set expresslrs_switch_mode = WIDE" (set "Switch Mode: Wide" in Lua script of the controller).

[@ddegn]

Once you're done with the PID tuning video you can start again with iNav and ArduPilot. Thank you JB. This was fantastic. I got a quad flying today (for the first time) which I've had for a couple of years. I previously didn't know how to set it up correctly.

[@ddegn]

And I'm back two years later. I'm having fun with my quads but there's still a lot I don't know. Thanks again JB.

[@ddegn]

43:25 Side bars aren't trying to display altitude, they display your pitch. "You know you love it." Yes, yes I do! Flying my TinyApe is exactly like flying a fighter jet. I haven't actually flown a fighter jet (or any other real airplane) but I'm sure it's exactly the same.

[@MontyX-21]

36:22 can you tell me what lua script I shoulde use?

[@donaldwaddel4600]

I setup the profile selection as you indicated and while having different selections for profiles 1, 2 and 3 the 3 way switch assigned to the Aux channel does not change the OSD profile. The Aux switch position is correctly indicated in the Adjustments tab with a full range of 900-2100. Not sure if or why it would make any difference but I am using a Avatar digital system. PS: The selections are being tested with the quad unhooked from the USB. i.e. The controller has been rebooted after OSD profiles were set. TIA

[@faulkie666]

Great vid, cheers JB!!!

[@pandrews01]

Great Series. Awesome tutorials. Extremely informative.

[@BaconNinjaFPV]

Great video Bardwell! That intro is the absolute best, lol. I just wanted to say that I love my bones, and although I don't bando bash with it...I do some "light" freestyle and have put it through around 30 crashes at this point. I designed a sleeve mount for it with some guarded sections for the vents and a covered side to keep the SD card from having ejection issues which seems to be protecting it pretty well so far. Now that could change tomorrow...who knows. There is no way I would be running it using the attached mount adapter on the back either, that thing would absolutely break off in a crash no question. The first issue I had with it was the plug not being readily available. It is a Molex Pico SPOX rather than something more common like a JST, and the fact that gopro doesn't carry them (or didnt last time i looked) on there website was disappointing. You can't really get a connector kit and make your own either as the only places carrying the parts are stores like Mouser and you have to buy quantity for it to work out. The quality of the cable was also super poor, and the ends kept wanting to slip out of the connector constantly. Second issue I had was actually the opposite of what you are talking about on its rated voltage range. I decided to run it off of a 5v BEC at first. The Caddx one I had been previously running my peanut on actually. The camera would power up and start recording, I would arm and it would keep going, but as soon as I put a load on the motors and the voltage dipped even slightly below 5v it would shut off. I imagine the iflight balance adapter has a better BEC, but just something to look out for if you are running at 5v. I have been running mine on 6s via a vbatt pad on my FC and put around 70 packs through it without any damage to the camera, not to say that a big spike couldn't kill it. I think it is just important to be running a big enough cap and TVS diode to keep that under control. It is also possible that some of those issues were actually the pins slipping in the connector....because if they were like mine it will absolutely happen. I had to use a dab of E6000 to keep my wires secure even after making sure the plastic retention clips were as tight as they could get.

[@BigAlFPV17]

Thank you JB for creating this video series. Really helps out alot. Keep doing what your doing 😊

[@timorohde95]

i was sceptical at first if i would feel a difference but god damn it feels like switching from an 60hz monitor to 120. its soo smooth

[@jud-asinsmith-stansell2022]

Where is the PID tuning video? I will be sending mucho money when I get a chance. Ive had a unflyable quad for over a year. Trying yo learn piece by piece on Betaflight and what might be wrong. Learning curve is steap. Thanks

[@alikavari351]

love your voice shouting from the transmitter btw

[@Nelvoro]

I have a question, when i have a 4s qauad, and use 6s batterys with trotthle limit too, my video signal (analog) is better with the 6s lipo. With 4s it's weaker and there are some "glitches"?

[@sunsetpark_fpv]

Damnnnn thats a great question bro........

[@ownzies100]

You use 6s batteries on your 4s? Doesnt this fry 4s components because the voltage is too high?

[@Nelvoro]

@@ownzies100 no, the componets are all also for 6s. Only the motors, but i have a trothle cut

[@SeanPitts]

So good. Thanks Joshua!

[@ls4life544]

Great series of video. By the way not sure if anyone had mentioned this but betaflight is not showing the video format option on the OSD tap. Is this correct because it is what I have notice on my betaflight software. I am sure I'm running one if the later version if not the latest.

[@janzajicek9246]

Super video! Do you know how does it work OSD warnings on DJI goggle? I have hex mode from mbilozub fot BT 4.2.11. On his page mbilozub has hex for 4.3 but this is 16 month old so it must be for some RC of BT 4.3

[@MzanziRC]

I'm going to sound super weird, but your voice takes me back to a bunch of awesome memories! Thanks for your channel Joshua!

[@baptiste_nonat]

Hi Joshua, are you going to test the iflight commando 8 soon ? Thanks mate !

[@JoshuaBardwell]

First, iFlight has to send me one.

[@DriftaholiC]

Does the OSD chip on/off selection also disable it for DJI? You didn't mention which elements DJI supports.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

Yes it disables it also for DJI.

[@JustInTime0525]

How do I set the RTC osd element to display the correct time in my timezone? I have changed the timezone setting in my Commando 8 radio but the OSD time doesn't change at all.

[@oldgamer1157]

That was a very good video thx

[@dma_k]

Needless to mention that there is a limit in how many lines OSD can render for "Post Flight Statistics" (16 is maximum my case), so you cannot switch on all items in that section (expecting they all show up on the analog screen).

[@ca90068]

What's your preferred t-shirt size? Got some cool ones for you. Also, where do I send them?

[@JohnSmith-xl9bo]

Is there an option for Steam gauges (analog) ? I'm a pilot and Flight Instructor and I'd like to use what I'm used to seeing.

[@halwhitsitt4157]

Great video as always, thanks! Does anyone know why my OSD wouldn't be showing up? I installed the BetaFPV A03 VTX to the Pavo 25 V2. Is there a compatibility issue with running 4.4.3? Wiring is all correct, VTX tables finally resolved (uses SA 2.1), video signal coming through clear, LED's indicating proper band/channel/power settings, OSD is selected in Betaflight.

[@halwhitsitt4157]

Also - using Caddx Ratel 2. I used the programmer to make sure it was set to NTSC, as well as NTSC in BF Configurator.

[@sergiopolonia]

Hey thanks so much for this playlist. I wired a tbs nano vtx as per wiring diagram but my osd element on my goggles shows this ( ?:?:??) just questions marks any idea what this could be

[@thatguycarlos]

"I'm still over here... Turned on, not doing anything..." LMAO I've been entertained by that voice clip so many times already... You do realize the double entendre, you crafted there, right? As a gay guy, my funny bone(r) had been tickled. lolololol

[@TheRandomSqueak]

I don't have a video format option :( I'm on a Mobula 8 2s with the Walksnail VTX

[@alikavari351]

I've heard that this sensor works optimally up to a height of 30 cm, is that correct?

[@AEMBowers]

I didn't hear anything about how the digital FPV goggles from DJI only allow certain OSD elements to show. Is that something thas was fixed by BF 4.3 or some other means?

[@JoshuaBardwell]

No. Nothing has changed in that respect.

[@xplode225]

very new at this, but I don't see any of these osd adjustments in my dji fpv goggle v2

[@jvio2542]

i am currently stuck with my dron. I changed the vtx and the reciever, i finally got the reciever to work but i just wont get any image in my googles, there is no static, its just a black screen woth no osd, i already tried hooking the camera directly to the vtx and that doesnt work either. When i unplug the battery i get static so that tells me the vtx is working. I would also want to add that the first time i turned the dron on i did get a vague image where the osd was trying to show up, but since ive been messing with it i can't even get that anymore.

[@AnnBarnes-mp8uk]

Dji V2 goggles OSD always read 0 for altitude. Do I need to root them to fix this?

[@gubearium]

hey guys, Question, , can you flip the OSD? i'm running my camera upside down and it allows to flip the image, so that's fine , but the osd is still upside down, , is there an option anywhere, thanks .. Runcam v2 HDZero Freestyle Skystar F722 mini HD BTFL 4.4.0

[@johnnyrocket3200]

Isn't Betaflight and iNav Calculating NORTH from the GPS data? And that's why I don't get the necessity of a Compass for pos hold or other Autonomous functions. Fly 10m in one direction and the quad has it's heading and can always correct it!?!?!

[@JoshuaBardwell]

GPS heading doesn't update when the quad is not moving forward. Having to move 10 meters before you know you're going the wrong direction is kind of a big deal.

Hi Joshua. I am a new pilot. I got DJI FPV Explorer Combo. I recently bought a BNF iflight nazgul f5x v2 o3 6s elrs and radiomaster boxer max elrs.

Although the OSD still gives me an RC Smoothing error. 😢Can someone help me with this issue? Thanks in advance.

[@FunctionalDesignsCo]

Kind of a long shot but hoping someone will be able to help me here. Why is it that I can't see the bottom part of the image in my goggles? Like I have to move everything at the bottom of the osd up a few rows to be able to see it. I'm using the runcam phoenix 2 jb edition and have it set to 4:3. Changing between 4:3 and 16:9 just stretches and squeezes the image but still doesnt show me the bottom part. And then when I change my goggles (fatshark transformers) between 16:9 and 4:3, it still doesn't show the bottom. In RF Split mode (the mode I need when the screen is attached to the binoculars) , I don't even have the option to switch between 16:9 and 4:3, but I can see the bottom part of the screen is just black so there is clearly enough area on the screen to show the bottom part of the image, it just won't show it.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

This is a function of how the display is showing the image on screen. If you were to use a different screen or goggles, you could see the whole image.
