Ground Recording (Video/telemetry/screenshots)

EZ-Wifibroadcast automatically stores video and telemetry in a temporary storage while it is being received from the AirPi. Saving screenshots (in 10s intervals) is also possible by setting "ENABLE_SCREENSHOTS=Y" in wifibroadcast-1.txt.

To save video, telemetry and screenshots to a USB memory stick, simply plug the stick in after you are done flying. After a few seconds, a message should appear and the recorded video will start playing on the HDMI screen while being saved to USB. A message will appear when it is done saving.

Currently, recording is limited to ~12 minutes due to the temporary storage being a ram disk. You can set VIDEO_TMP=sdcardto use the sdcard as temporary storage. Boot-up will take a little longer the first time after this option has been set, as the temporary storage on the sdcard needs to be prepared first.

WARNING: Due to issues with the linux kernel, this may lead to video stuttering badblocks or video freezing. Use a fast sdcard to mitigate this and test thoroughly before flying!
