Endurance UAV part 3 (more tests, thermal cam)

This plane loves to fly! Forgot to mention that for all flights the cells were charged to 4.1V and stopped at 3V. In theory they could be pushed a bit further at both ends of the range. https://patreon.com/iforce2d Other stuff channel: https://www.youtube.com/@iforce2dgamestuff944 Find me on Twitch for some gaming: https://www.twitch.tv/iforce2d Twitter account I hardly ever use: https://x.com/iforce2d ------------------------------ # Set up a text only (no GUI/desktop) install, with ffmpeg installed. # First, check you can get video on the RCA output (might need to alter config.txt depending on the exact version of OS). Might also need to have *only* the RCA jack connected (no HDMI monitor). # Make a bash script containing this (at the end there should be a redirect to /dev/null, but the YouTube description box does not allow angled brackets - replace the xxx below with a 'greater than' symbol): ffmpeg -i /dev/video0 -pix_fmt rgb565le -vf "scale=640x480,pad=1024:480:36" -f fbdev /dev/fb0 2xxx /dev/null # Depending on the screen you want to display on you might need to play with the scale and pad values. #Test this first by running the bash script normally at the command line. When the video feed starts up your command line prompt will not be visible, but you can still Ctrl+C to kill the process. Failing that, maybe ssh and 'killall ffmpeg'. # Put this in your .bash_profile (set to the file you made above) if [[ "$(tty)" == "/dev/tty1" ]]; then exec /home/chris/webcam2framebuffer.sh fi
