FPV overlay

[arthurbenemann]

Add an FPV screen to show a FPV stream on screen

[arthurbenemann]

There is some work done in the branch https://github.com/arthurbenemann/droidplanner/tree/FPV.

On d62cde9 the FPV code is already working, but the video source is still hardcoded.

Also some error conditions may have to be better handled. And some modifications are needed to increase the FPS.

How is the video captured on the android device? Does a USB video capture device work and has someone got it to work on Droidplanner?

[arthurbenemann]

@GCBrentA Video is captured elsewhere and streamed via WifI with the current solutions, but you have to keep in mind that this is all a Work In Progress.

I think this would be a great idea to put FPV over wifi in the app.
Using standard video transmitters are illegal here in Australia over 25mW
Do you know how you would implement it into the app? eg split screen/overlay?

Probably the video stream with a overlay of the old HUD (v1.2). The main
hurdle is to get the video in a compatible IP stream.

That sounds like a great idea! I've been looking into wifi transmitters as well and there doesn't seem to be much around other than building security ip camera systems. My Java experience is next to none but I'd be willing to help out in anyway to get this function up and running on Droidplanner. Just let me know what to do.
