This is a prebuilt image for the Orange Pi 3B to stream OpenIPC video. Simply setup your keys and desired channel, give the system a reboot, and after the stream will begin automatically on plug-in.

On first boot, connect a keyboard and enter a terminal with CTRL+ALT+F1 -- login is orangepi/orangepi (root password is root)

cd to the scripts folder: cd scripts
Run ./resizefs.sh to repartition and resize your filesystem. Ignore all the red text and let the script finish.

Run wfb_keygen (located in your path) and transfer the keys. Run sudo cp gs.key /etc to transfer your gs.key to the groundstation's /etc directory. To transfer the drone.key file, connect your camera and orange pi to your home network, then run scp drone.key root@x.x.x.x:/etc and replace x.x.x.x with your camera's local ip address. (You will need to set up your network accordingly.)


Stock settings will set the display to 1920x1080@60fps. You will want to change this behavior in the setdisplay.sh script in the scripts folder found in your home directory. -- sudo nano setdisplay.sh
e.g. for HDZ goggles -- change MODE to 1280x720 and RATE to 100


You can setup the onboard wifi for SSH connectivity. (udev rules and networkmanager are already configured in this image, you only need to execute the nmcli commands)

You can now also use the handy wifi-connect.sh script found in the scripts folder in your home directory. Run the script with your home network name and password as follows: ./wifi-connect.sh NetworkName NetworkPassword. Replace NetworkName and NetworkPassword with your home network credentials.


This image includes DVR functionality; It requires a push button to be installed to the gpio header between physical pins 25 and 27 like so:
op3bgpio

To record DVR, push the button once. The preview stream will end and the the recording stream will start; DVR will begin recording. When finished, push the button once to stop the recording and save the file. The recording stream will end and the preview stream will return.

DVR is saved to the Videos folder in your home directory. DVR can be accessed either at /home/orangepi/Videos or via a media server. Connect your groundstation to your home network and it can be accessed via a web browser at x.x.x.x:8080 -- replace x.x.x.x with your groundstation's local ip address.
