Herelink - Connection

Airplane mode is designed for manually disconnect the air unit and controller. Connection breaks when you turn it on.

Herelink - Antenna

Mini BNC

Herelink - Calibration

Refer to - Herelink User Guides - Pairing, RC Calibration & Setup

Herelink - Encryption

Herelink encrypt over the air uses aes-128-ctr

Herelink - Ethernet

Herelink Ethernet

I’m trying to get ethernet passthrough working. I’m running on the Beta Channel, SRU01200616 on the ground unit and the corresponding version on the airside.

I understand an ethernet adapter with a R8152/8153 chip is required, I have an ANKER A7610011 and a Cable Matters 202023-BLK for testing. Both use the correct chip according to the Amazon comments, although it's very hard to get the information directly from the manufactures.

On the ground side, I have a generic OTG adapter and have tested it with a USB stick. On the airside I have an OTG charging passthrough cable, this allows to power the adapter (and the airside, and cube, I’m not sure if that is a good idea).

I understand with an adapter on both ends it should be a transparent link but I can't seem to get it working.

It does have to be said that I am a complete beginner with regard to networking stuff such as this.

The next trick is getting ADB access to confirm (GCS)

Here is a new bootimage for the GCS unit to make the R8152/53 detect. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MGFAqC1zXrdnO2yEGhaigW-xktIx2cHj/view?usp=sharing 2 (GCS unit bootimage with R8152)
the stock image includes
AX8817X
AX88179_178A
NET1080

to update the boot image via USB (i assume you have ADB access already/developer mode)

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot

Next, we enable ADB via TCPIP, but first, we need to enable this via USB

adb shell
setprop persist.adb.tcp.port 5555
reboot

then after the reboot, get the IP of the GCS unit (eg 10.0.0.99)

adb connect 10.0.0.99
adb shell

you should get the shell again
do a

ifconfig

and check if eth0 exists

Now verify we can ADB into the air unit
once you have ADB to the GCS unit, power on the air unit and do a

adb shell (gets you into the gcs unit)
adb connect 192.168.0.10
adb -s 192.168.0.10:5555 shell

this should now get you into the air unit.

Next
try running a

/bin/busybox brctl show

under interfaces, you should see vxlan1 and eth0

optimus:/ $ /bin/busybox brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
br-vxlan 8000.00e04c360345 no vxlan1
eth0

also, run

ping 192.168.144.10
ping 192.168.144.11

these are the bridge endpoint IP’s

during testing, make sure the screen stays on there GCS unit, otherwise, power-saving features limit background data flow (A most likely setting I have not found yet)

I've just confirmed that this is working ok. one possible caveat. if your home network is using 192.168.0.x, things may not work.

Herelink airunit fan installation

When using Dual Streaming mode, the Herelink can get quite warm, for best results, please install a fan on the top using the provided screws, rubber rings, washers and nuts in the installation pack.

*Fan is not provided The fan showing in the video obtained from Digi-Key URL: https://www.digikey.hk/product-detail/en/mechatronics-fan-group/MR3010E12B-RSR/1570-1346-ND/7606131

Enable Multiple Video Stream via ADB

Connect controller unit to computer via ADB and run

adb shell setprop persist.multiple.videostream true

adb reboot

Then repeat on air unit. Both of them need the setprop set.

The video stream will be available at these 2 addresses

rtsp://(wifiIPongcs):8554/fpv_stream
rtsp://(wifiIPongcs):8554/fpv_stream1

Notice

  1. Ensure something valid is connected to HDMI1 also, otherwise HDMI2 will not work.
  2. Ensure cooling fan is connected, else the air unit will be overheated.

Disable Multiple Video Stream

To disable and restore the setting, connect the unit to computer via ADB and run

adb shell setprop persist.multiple.videostream false

adb reboot
