    I was trying to get RSSI on my OSD for about 2 weeks to no avail. After watching this video it was a matter of 5 minutes. Thank you JB !

    Thanks a lot!
    Worth to mention: If you have activated RSSI_ADC value in the config tab you will not be able to save the channel setting (think that was posted here, too). Took me a while to figure that out. Now it´s working! Thanks again :)

    This man is a legend, I just started flying and I am loving it. I am 19 years old and it is quite expensive for me so I realy need my RSSI value to show on my OSD. Joshua Bardwell you are a life(Drone) saver

    Many Thanks. Been struggling with this for 2 days - searching, searching...until this. Don't understand the "why". But for now the step-by-step procedure is good enough for me.

    For whatever reason I messed up something on my Taranis , I didn't have RSSI on OSD anymore (99% steady ) and I have forgot how to get it back again . You helped me out to remind some part of the process. Thanks!! Really appreciate your work!

    been a subcriber for years. stopped flying for over a year. just started back up. and MY GOD! thank you so very much. Ive been looking for a proper setup vid for over an hour. i found MANY that allllmost explained it. but you freaking nailed EXACTLY what i needed to do and why.
    I dunno why i didnt just search your video list to begin with.

    I got the Kopis 1 because of you as my first drone this spring. I was practicing with little whoops indoors and the big scary race drone was still very intimidating! Now, thanks to you and other really cool channels, I am already flying acro FPV and getting into the trick tutorials. What a great hobby with folks like you, teaching us something EVERYDAY! Keep up the great work, liked and subbed!

    SUPER!!
    On Matek F411 wing - NO rssi on the flight controller!!
    And -as resolt -no rssi on the screen osd.( only on Taranis.But i fly with glasses fpv)
    I used this video for INAV with Frsky X8R ( it has rssi) !!
    And i get RSSI on the osd!
    Thanks Joshua!

  • @Just-A-Guy-Learning
    @Just-A-Guy-Learning 7 лет назад

    This same setup has worked for over a year. JC had this on his channel. I'm happy you did it here as well, since your channel is ongoing. Has to be a telemetry receiver. The xm+ will not work this way but it automatically puts rssi on channel 8 or channel 16 depending on the firmware you use.

    • @Fliptality
      @Fliptality 7 лет назад

      yes. if it does not work or show a fix rssi value of 50, then you need to update firmware on your XM+.

  • @graywoulf
    @graywoulf 5 лет назад +2

    HI Joshua, I am just getting started in FPV and I am finding your videos to be so informative. I have a QX 7 Tx and FS HD2 goggles and I am a bit confused about what and how much telemetry I am going to need to see on both. I want to fly safe and this RSSI information is one thing that I deem necessary to do so. Have you considered making a video that encompasses setting up a totally Frsky based quad using the QX 7 and supplying information on the best receiver to match with it? I would think it would help a lot of pilots like myself. There is so much to learn about building a quad and how everything fits together. I appreciate your work and tutorials very much. Thanks for your time.

  • @ProppedNutFPV
    @ProppedNutFPV 7 лет назад

    Cool. I've followed all your videos on the Taranis. Including setting up all the voice settings to call out voltage etc.. Problem is I really like to fly with music. So having everything on the OSD is actually more helpful than having things audibly called out. Especially when you can't hear it. Lol.... Also thank you for making it clear how to get caps when naming things.

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  6 лет назад

      You need to have telemetry enabled in your flight controller and you need to be using a telemetry-enabled receiver. Then you go to the Telemetry screen and do "discover sensors".

  •  7 лет назад

    Awesome, this gives me the option if I have forgotten to update my XM+ to the newest version and already soldered to FC to just use this method. Beets having to desolder the receiver find a servo cable solder it to a receiver and then update it. Thanks, Joshua !

  • @Gibson99
    @Gibson99 5 лет назад

    I have a radiolink AT9 transmitter and the little receiver i use (r6dm?) doesn't have rssi pad. however, latest firmware for the AT9 lets you send rssi on an aux channel and this appears to work! tested on the bench only so far, but like your video, it appears to work. put my hand in front of the antenna and it drops, so it's definitely doing something! and it's much simpler to set up in the radio than in your demo.

  • @MartijnvanGene
    @MartijnvanGene 7 лет назад +1

    Joshua, you can edit the RSSI unit in the Telemetry screen. Just go to the RSSI sensor, press Enter and Edit. Scroll down to the unit (probably dB, as per default) and change it to %.

    • @JoshuaBardwell
      @JoshuaBardwell  7 лет назад

      How does this affect the output to the RSSI Channel, though?

    • @MartijnvanGene
      @MartijnvanGene 6 лет назад

      As far as I know, it is only used as a local value for the telemetry screen and announcements.

  • @Politicallyhomeless957
    @Politicallyhomeless957 7 лет назад

    Only use Spektrum Serial Telemetry RX’s and the reason that I only use those receivers is that I get battery voltage and RSSI sent to my radio and it is told to me verbally which is my preference as I personally don’t like to be distracted by OSD. Interesting vid if I ever jump ship and I like to see the competition 👍

  • @BadPossumFPV
    @BadPossumFPV 5 лет назад

    Well, late to the party, but thanks so much JB! I have quads that wouldn't read RSSI, and I'm new, so I was just letting it slide. I just got 2 new ones hooked up because of your easy to follow video. I would ask people and they would say, "well... ya just need to set it up in BF" or " ya just set it up in your radio.". I was ready to give up. Now I have about 6 more I got to set up with FrSKY RXs , and I know it will work! Thanks again! Steve Harding _ SouthernOutlawDrones

    Classic JB . Thanks for this made my RSSI work better . Problem I was having was even though I have rssi on my osd. The maximum signal was 33%??????? Standing right next to my drone. But on the taranis it measured 87DB. It should have measured 100% on the on OSD. OnCE I did your fix, the osd now measures 100% on the osd and the taranis is 87DB. Much easier to calcuate distanced to drop out now. AWESOME!

  • @stephenmutch4034
    @stephenmutch4034 4 года назад +1

    There are CLI commands which set the RSSI offset and scale. With these you can adjust the readout value on your OSD to match the RSSI telemetry page on your Taranis. The default value in Betaflight 4.2 was offset = -10 so my OSD readout was 10% low. The setting below gave me matching readouts.
    set rssi_scale = 100
    set rssi_offset = 0

    Joshua I remember Project Blue Falcon did some tests with RSSI and he figured that if you go below around 40dB, chances of failsafe goes pretty high... It's a memory thing tho, I should go check back the video he did... Damn you college days, memory isn't what it's used to be

  • @niioniio

    please, dont forget to mention, that after setting the RSSI chanel in beta, you need to completly disconnect drone from beta, and reinsert its battery. Otherwise you wont see the RSSI values. This applies for frsky archer RX (tried two different frsky archer on twor drones)

I've set up the microminim now, trying to get rssi from channel 8 of my FC, but the value I see on my osd for rssi keeps jumping around (I have calibrated the msowd using the sticks menu on my taranis and it does show 0for rssi when the radio is off and 100 when it's on, but the value jumps erratically down as low as 17!).
    I have rssi invert on my cli.

      Do you want me to surprise you?
      On my Taranis 7 I installed the multiprotocol module IRange.
      I binded with the receiver FS IA6B.(With the latest firmware for this receiver.)
      And on the screen Taranis qx7 I see RSSI from IA6B! :)
      And in the latest firmware for IRange, also works failsafe for receivers from FlySky.
      That's why I change FlySky to Taranis-and I can use receivers from FlySky.

      Do you maintain the same range via the module?
