DJI FPV Video – USB Out! OSX Quick Guide

It is now possible to get the feed from your DJI v1 goggles onto your computer thanks to some clever people here:
https://github.com/fpv-wtf

Here is how it is done on OSX via terminal:

Install homebrew:
/usr/bin/ruby -e “$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)”
add Homebrew’s location to your $PATH
export PATH=”/usr/local/bin:$PATH”
and then:
git -C $(brew –repository homebrew/core) checkout master
Install node.js:
brew install node
Install ffmpeg & ffplay: (takes ages as it has to compile)
brew install ffmpeg

Get the required files from the clever dude’s github: (green code button then download zip)
https://github.com/fpv-wtf/voc-poc
Unzip, then type cd into a new terminal and drag the unzipped folder onto the terminal window, then press enter. This focuses the terminal window on that folder.

1. Connect your goggles via usb, and power them on with goggle battery
2. Make sure temp control is off on the DJI FPV system (this works better with Air Units. Vistas will get hot fast)
3. Power up your drone, (props off) wait for the picture in your goggles
4. Run the following code in the terminal window that is focused on the folder you downloaded from github:
node index.js -o | ffplay -i – -analyzeduration 1 -probesize 32 -sync ext
5. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries to get connected.
