Love this pro tip, thanks Ryan!! I have been fighting with my THIII+ HD and getting Low Power Disarm to stick, and for 200mW to stay as the default. Heck with that, now it's all on a switch and I can see it happening in real time. Super cool! What remains to be seen is if the settings I changed in the ELRS LUA will have any impact on my Analog Quads.
I feel like you made this video for me, lol, I spent ages trying to figure out why I wasn't getting video, sure enough team race was set to mode 1 on accident
I have been using AUX channels to control VTX power for a while now, however, I notice that regularly after arming, I get 25mW despite my switch being at 200mW, and I have to switch back and forth in flight to get 200mW. I think this is related to betaflight settings on the VTX page and low power disarm, but its honestly a bit confusing how all these ways to change VTX settings interact and what takes priority when (betaflight, OSD menu, AUX channels, backpack)
should note that this isn't aux 3 but in fact aux 4. vtx 0 2 0 0 3 900 1300 would be using aux 3 because aux chan start at 0 1 2 3. so the second number 2 would be aux 3. took me a while to figure this out. hope this helps people who set up their tx to use aux 3 that they need to use 2 as the second number if you wanted aux 4 you would use 3 as the second number. hope this isnt tooo confusing
I have a beta FPV whoop. I don’t think my Lua script is working it won’t change band at all. Tried turning it off and on. Just refuses to change band it’s annoying
Hi. ive done the full cli command and assigned the switch in the modes tab. I changed all 3's into 7s brcause i want to use switch 6 on my controller. No video now. How do i reset the vtx?
I just got the Freestyle V2 and if i have my radio turned on before i power up the quad, the hdzero vtx does 1hz on the blue led, as if there is no camera detected. But if i power up the drone with the radio off the vtx works just fine, then i turn on the radio and everything works...Have you heard anything like this before? I did tests with different censorious and nothing else triggered this besides the radio being on. I'm using Crossfire and the radio is far away from the goggles and power cable for them and i have toroid's on my power cable. It seems like the radio being connected triggers something maybe in betaflight...idk lol very confusing, just glad i can fly it lol
Hi Ryan. thanks for this video. I set the team race mode 1 and pasted the values into the CLI, only changing the aux channel value to suit my remote control. Everything works as you said and the vtx stays off or turns off if I activate the switch even if I leave it off it continues to heat up. Does yours stay cold?
Hello friend, have you received any response from Ryan? I just performed the procedure and the exact same thing happens to me, my VTX keeps heating up, have you been able to solve it?
for the VTX power settings commands, does this work on Freestyle V2 too? so vtx power setting 1 = 25, 2=200, 3 = 0, 4 = 500 and 5 = 1000? Or is it different there? Would love to have an option to switch between 0, 25 and 1000 on a 3way switch
Carl Zhou, we need : Lower Cost. HDZero Stereo Display 90fps, 0ms, Head Tracking PPM. At most requirement. And ready Stock Indonesian Price Rp1.000.000,- goggle. Then we can start playing RC.
That's $65 usd, not even close to possible for a goggle. The chips in the receiver alone probably cost more than that, not to mention the OLED display's that cost probably $100-150 a piece or more depending on quantity with like 10,000 or more being MOQ and then all the housing optics and ic's. My guess is the goggles cost close to $400 for just the components then you need to factor in the rest of overhead and manufacturing cost.
I have this already setup for all my HDZero drones and it's the best feature. Especially helpful when trying to get sat lock and vtx is overheating.

Just tested and it is like a dream come true! hahaha Thanks a ton!
I did this now my vtx blinks blue and won’t turn on? I get nothing tried al stick command how can I fix this?
Rip
Mine blinks blue too.
This video is AWESOME! 😎 Thank you Ryan😁
Great overview, need to set this up on my hdz quads.

same issue here...
Heyy, look at that smiley face next to the VTX LEDs :-) !

great video Ryan..thank you so much
Hey Brian, great video! How can I make the same for the walksnail version?
Cool tip. Question.. Shouldn’t backpack on the goggle also switch channels automatically?

Hi. ive done the full cli command and assigned the switch in the modes tab.
I changed all 3's into 7s brcause i want to use switch 6 on my controller.
No video now. How do i reset the vtx?
how do we assign a switch/channel to turn off and one the vtx in inav?
would love to see a video on doing this with inav

Is it possible to select VTX channel using the 6 position mode switch on a TX16S? Either using a Betaflight config or a transmitter LUA script?

Betaflight Telemetry on is what usually gets me. When I save a preset from a quad and move it to a new quad that setting doesn’t seem to follow
Tricky stuff like that all the time
In Telemetry Ration in Race mode we still have telemetry during flight?
Show your betaflight setting on Video Trasmiter tab.
Does the stick commands still work to go to pitmode? For some reason they no longer work for me. Stick commands are in the manual.
mine not blinking.. can u help? i follow all ur guide
for the VTX power settings commands, does this work on Freestyle V2 too? so vtx power setting 1 = 25, 2=200, 3 = 0, 4 = 500 and 5 = 1000? Or is it different there? Would love to have an option to switch between 0, 25 and 1000 on a 3way switch
I think 4 is 1000mW in this case and 5 is off. The manual should say
@@RyanQuellet cant really find the manual for V2 but i guess regarding to the vtx table 1 is 25, 2 is 200, 3 is 500, 4 is Max and 5 is 0 yes. thanks
Does the script work if you’re using another receiver protocol (ghost specifically) and all I want to be able to do is the video on/off function?
how to do it on INAV?
My radio doesn't support elrs backpack (
@Ryan Quellet when can we expect new official firmware for goggles? Thank you in advance for your answer
