Question 1

How to reduce video latency on DigiView SBC with a Raspberry Pi Zero?

Accepted Answer

The README suggests changing GPU memory to 384MB in config.txt, but it explicitly warns of significant latency on Pi Zero, so performance may remain poor compared to higher-end models like Pi 3B+.

Question 2

DigiView SBC vs buying a commercial FPV monitor: which is better?

Accepted Answer

DigiView SBC is a cost-effective, open-source alternative ideal for tinkerers, but as an alpha project, it lacks the reliability and plug-and-play ease of commercial monitors, which are better for critical use cases.

Question 3

Can I use DigiView SBC with DJI FPV goggles V3?

Accepted Answer

No, the project currently only supports DJI FPV goggles V1 and V2, as stated in the description. There's no mention of V3 compatibility, so it likely won't work without future updates.

Question 4

How to enable Wi-Fi on DigiView SBC for SSH access?

Accepted Answer

SSH is enabled by default; to connect to Wi-Fi, add a wpa_supplicant file to the boot partition of the SD card, as per the advanced instructions. This requires manual configuration without a desktop interface.

Question 5

What monitors work best with DigiView SBC on a Pi 3B+?

Accepted Answer

The README notes that some small monitors have squeezed or stretched video on Pi 3B+, so it's best to test with your monitor. Standard HDMI monitors with supported resolutions are recommended for optimal results.

Question 6

How to build DigiView SBC from source for a custom SBC?

Accepted Answer

A tutorial for building from scratch is planned for the future. Currently, the image is based on Raspbian Lite with core components like fpv-c and Gstreamer, but detailed build instructions are not yet available in the README.
