  • For iOS use this link to join the TestFlight beta
    • Note that Apple has not approved this update yet, but it should be available in a few days
  • For running on the OpenHD ground station, use the nightly release images of OpenHD
  • The pi-buster/pi-stretch packages are for ground station images, ignore them

Test notes

  • We have reports of video stuttering or freezing with the v0.4.0 beta series, test very carefully on the ground
    • The video issues are caused by GStreamer using so much CPU time on Android, it won't be there much longer
  • iOS has native video decoding and OpenGL rendering enabled now, which should significantly improve battery life and prevent video problems, but it may require some fixes for RTP and additional testing on specific devices
  • There are new widgets in this release, and some of them have not been optimized for performance yet
    • We will be optimizing these very soon

Changes

  • Ensure that total current display runs even when the drone is not armed
  • Add support for getting total current from telemetry
    • Only provided by Mavlink at the moment
    • Might be more accurate

Known issues

  • We have reports of video stuttering or freezing on Android with the v0.4.0 beta series, test very carefully on the ground
    • The video issues are caused by GStreamer using so much CPU time on Android, it won't be there much longer
  • The charts are disabled while we hunt for a bug
  • The uplink RSSI widget has not been made larger to match the downlink rssi widget size yet
  • App can be started more than once on Windows/Linux (#61)
    • This is unintentional and will be fixed soon
  • GPIO user interface is temporary, will be replaced soon with something nicer on the main OSD screen, support custom names and possibly custom icons
    • Keep in mind that the GPIO numbering is based on the processor GPIO numbers, not pin numbers
    • GPIO5 means BCM5, not pin 5, if you need a good reference for the GPIO numbers, see https://pinout.xyz/
