mgrob Registered User | Another noob question: I have wifi two adapters that Ruby recognizes. One is 2.4GHz only, other is 2.4/5GHz. Question: How is radio configuration done on the vehicle side? how can i restrict the vehicle to use just 2.4 and not 5GHz? (I see how the controller is configured via UI/menu but the vehicle side just comes up and runs with no menus/UI - is there are way to configure it too? i looked in /ruby at the various files but couldn't see a way to configure 2.4GHz-only.) thanks |

On almost all cards the system will know whats what, very few if possibly only one card poses issues and that is one I own which uses an RTL8812AU chipset which is 2.4/5.8 dual band but the PA on the card is only 5.8 capable and must not be run at 2.4, I have to be careful when messing with things on that one! Dig around in the menus, there are settings for almost everything and you can manually set a specific frequency if you want too. |

mgrob Registered User | thanks for your replies. I'm getting the hang of it. The problem i have is I don't know how to configure on the vehicle side (all the menus are for controller side - the vehicle side just comes up and runs there doesn't seem to be any UI there). I want to run my 2.4/5 adapter on the vehicle as it has higher TX power. But what i think is happening is the vehicle comes up and starts transmitting on 5GHz, meanwhile the controller searches at 2.4GHz and never finds anything. Anyway I ordered another adapter from the list on the Ruby site. |

mgrob Registered User | My Ruby controller wont recognize the USB memory stick. I tried two sticks, and two different formats (ext 4 and FAT32). which format is required? This seems simple not sure what i'm doing wrong. thanks |

mgrob Registered User | thanks for your reply. on the memory sticks: I'm trying to transfer video files to the memory stick, and also transfer configuration. I get the message that Memory stick is not available. I tried two different sticks with two different format (FAT and ext) but no luck. The sticks work fine in PC and with raspberrypiOS. I managed to move some .264 video files off the controller with ssh/scp. But how are these files played? I tried VLC but it didn't work at first. Matt |

Matt Just a thought, try formatting the Memory sticks/SD cards using a digital camera or android device, I have recovered many SD cards this way where Windows was doing something weird that made them un readable or outright refusing to format. The video files I have exported the regular way through ruby to USB storage play without issue in VLC, I think you have something strange going on. |

mgrob Registered User | thanks again. I got it to work with another stick. So i have two sticks that just wont work - tried reformatting (non-quick) and also ext4 - in fact they both work on the same RPI4 when it's booted with raspberrypiOS but not w/Ruby for some reason. I dont understand why but its ok I got it to work fine now w/another stick. On the h.264 files - thanks for explaining their processing is not complete until you move them to the card - didn't know that. As a request is it possible at some point to change that so you can scp the ready-to-play mpg files w/o needing a card? minor issue though. OK next (minor) thing I did was changed the video resolution to one that my monitor is not compatible with - i just get a warning banner from the monitor - and i'm effectively locked out of the machine now. is it possible to change the resolution via ssh/cli? not a big issue though i can just re-install. thanks for creating this i'm getting closer now to using it on my 'bot. next step is figure out the remote control function. oh one more thing: Audio. I inserted a USB audio mic but it wasn't recognized. I really want audio (this is for a land-rover not drone). What audio devices are known to work? thanks. |

PetruSoroaga Registered User Thread OP | When you change the controller display resolution, the system will reboot and, if you don't confirm in the UI that the new resolution is fine, the system will revert back and reboot again. |

Mayfly8 Registered User | I try set YISHIDO F4 V3S fc running Betaflight (only) with pi. On controller side i have Flysky FS-i6X and FS-iA10B on IBUS recriver set to pi. Controller side works ok, ther is telemetry from vehicle, RC sticks are moving. On vevicle side ther is no RC (sticks in Betaflight not moving). Is ther any posibility to set RC in Betaflight? What type of flight controller is ok and proven with Ruby FPV? |

I'm not sure if BetaFlight supports accepting RC input through the telemetry link (MAVLink RC). You need to check their documentation/forums. |

PetruSoroaga Registered User Thread OP | Hello! What's new: * Added native full support for OpenIPC hardware; Download it from here: https://rubyfpv.com/downloads.php The major update is that now you can flash OpenIPC hardware cameras and AIO FPV units (see picture) with Ruby, to get full benefit of Ruby functionalities. So, when using OpenIPC hardware on vehicles (air side), you don't need a SBC (Raspberry Pi) anymore on the air side. Read more about how to install Ruby on OpenIPC here: Have fun! EDIT: The OpenIPC AIO air unit is sold-out for now. Check their store for updates or ask them when it will be back in stock: https://store.openipc.org/ ImagesView all Images in thread

Mayfly8 Registered User | I think the same about Betaflight MAVlink limitations. Perhaps i try ExpressLRS with this setup, but I need new fc. Many thanks Petru, Ruby FPV is greate pice of software! Greatings from Poland. |

FlyingW Build more, websurf less | Thank you Petru, this looks really cool. I look forward to the OpenIPC air becoming available and trying this setup. I am keen on seeing if the H.265 encoder on the air unit can combine with the Pi4's H.265 decoder at the ground station and deliver video with more detail than the Pi-based air units. |
