DIY steps

Hardware

Raspberry Pi 3B/B+ and Raspberry Pi 4B may be used only for Wi-Fi connection to DJI Osmo/Osmo+

Raspberry Pi 4B
  • Two micro-HDMI outs
  • Analog video out (CVBS, TV-out) in 3.5 mini-jack
  • Wi-Fi 2.4/5 GHz
  • Ethernet 10/100/1000 Mbit/s
  • 2 USB 2.0 ports + 2 USB 3.0 ports
  • 1 USB-C port
  • Telemetry OSD on HDMI over video is NOT available.

It's good for clean video HDMI output, for local/internet streaming, for controlling DJI Osmo/Osmo+ camera from USB joysticks/gamepads or from keyboard/mouse in client application.
It's not good for DJI Osmo/Osmo+ remote control for operator with HDMI monitoring, because HDMI shows only clean video, no recording state, no image values.

  • Ethernet 10/100 Mbit/s
  • 4 USB 2.0 ports
  • 1 micro-USB port for power
  • Telemetry OSD on HDMI over video is available.

    Plug a standard USB power supply or powerbank to the Raspberry Pi. Pi must start booting. A couple of reboots may be during the first boot process
  • Step 8
    When a booting is finished you will see a QR image on HDMI display

Raspberry Pi power

All Raspberry Pi models has an own power scheme. Raspberry Pi may be powered from standard power input - micro-USB or USB-C port (RPI4B only), from GPIO, from PoE.

RPI4B only: when USB-C is busy for camera connection - need to power RPI from GPIO or with PoE.

 

Network connection

  • Step 1
    • For Ethernet connection from PC to Raspberry Pi
      Only for Raspberry Pi versions with Ethernet port. Connect Ethernet cable to the Raspberry Pi Ethernet port at one side and home router or PC/Mac Ethernet port on another side
    • For Wi-Fi connection from PC to Raspberry Pi
      Connect your PC/Mac to Wi-Fi network cosmostreamer, password 1234512345

License key is a text string, unique for each device. Each camera type needs different license keys. It's possible to install multiple amount of license keys on one device and use this device for some camera types, i.e. Pocket Osmo, Pocket 2, and others. Additional licenses price is much lower.

  • Step 1
    Buy license key on a product page
  • Step 2
    Make a photo of HDMI display or screenshot of the app with a QR image and send it to me for making a license key
  • Step 3
    When you got a license key - use web interface or CosmoViewerNG application, menu "device settings" -> "License" and insert license key into field. And click "Install license" button.

Camera connection

Cosmostreamer may be connected to DJI Osmo/Osmo+ only using a Wi-Fi.

RC receiver connection

One or two RC receivers can be connected at the same time. RC1 can be PWM or PPM. RC2 can be PPM or Sbus. RC mode (PWM, PPM, SBus) can be selected in web-admin page or in CosmoViewerNG application
