Thanks Phillip! Now, I have to buy a monitor or TV for a client that wants me to deliver a drone right away. My plan is to temporarily give him a low resolution analog transmitter/receiver connected to a monitor or tv. I just want to make sure I can use that monitor/TV when the HereLink arrives.
Can you explain a bit how its going to work, or with what monitors/TVs it will be compatible please?
Do you know if its possible to do screen mirroring to a smart tv like in any other android device? Or what is the best way to transfer the image to a big screen?
Is this feature available right now? I read through the manual, I don’t think I saw anything about screen mirroring or screen extender. Also where can I check for latest updates?
The docs describe, how to update and how to share the video stream to be consumed in Mission Planner or VLC. I do not see a dscription for mirroring the entire screen of the Herelink ground unit.
As the display is glossy and way too faint, outside at daylight it is almost impossible to see anything even with a hood. To be honest, I did not expect a device coming to the market in 2019 to be that useless to control vehicles usually used outside at daylight and not at twilight.
iPhones and iPads are the worst comparison regarding display brightness. Same for ST16. So this only says that they are also not usable outside. You are right, when you say, they are not better than Herelink - but those are already known since years to be useless for outside usage and CubePilot had the chance to learn from that - but didn’t take it.
I have the Crystal Sky Ultra with 2000 nits and I can tell you this is like a difference between day and night compared to Herelink. Also the “normal” Crystal Sky with “only” 1000 nits is way brighter (and also not glossy). Even my Sony XPeria Z3 tablet compact, which was 2014 one of the brightest tablets with 550 nits is still way brighter than 2019/2020’s Herelink.
Hopefully I find a way to mirror the screen to that CrystalSky as my DJI N3 / Lightbridge 2 builds went into retirement meanwhile.
If that can help you, I use a USB to HDMI converter which I connect by the Herelink and a television and it works well.
By adding to this converter, another HDMI to RCA converter, I manage to display the Herelink screen in old Fatskark Base glasses.
I am using the old firmware.
I think it should work with the new firmware as the updates are for QGC and Solex and not the Android system as far as I understand.
I did not update the old firmware because it suits me.
Philip, sorry to bother you: (its my first post)
Please consider those 2 things for the next herelink version:
1-/ Could you install a hdmi output in order to conect the herelink to the fatshark or a hdmi recorder?
2-/ Could you install a 3rd gimbal in the herelink in order to control the gimball drone?
3:/ Or an addon (conected to the usb port to the herelink) with only a gimball in order to control (by a second person) only the drone gimball?
sorry for my english and thank you in advance for you patience, herelink is awesome!!!.
Hello,
I now bought the ugreen usb to hdmi otg adapter to connect the herelink wirh my fatshark goggle. I can not get the ugreen adapter working because it is not possible to install the ezcast app on the herelink that is needed to get the ugreen adapter running.
I have seen some people here working with the same adapter, what can I do?
We have been trying to share the stream from the controller via WiFi tethering without sucess so far.
Our ultimate goal is livestreaming to YouTube. So far, we’ve been unable to get VLC to recognize the stream. I’m sure there is a step we’re missing but we have scoured the documentation and followed all the steps described. We’re running Herelink connected to a Pixhawk 2.4.8, and using Solex which successfully streams GoPro Hero 5 video to the controller, but that’s as far as we’ve gotten to date.
