Quick Start

This guide gets a supported OpenIPC VTX running AP FPV with the default Wi-Fi network and video stream.

Requirements

VTX side:

  • OpenIPC-compatible camera or video transmitter board.
  • Supported Wi-Fi adapter or module, commonly RTL8812AU, RTL8812EU, or RTL8733BU.
  • Firmware image that matches the exact SoC and flash layout.

Viewer or ground station side:

  • Android device with PixelPilot, or
  • computer with Wi-Fi and a web browser, or
  • any device that can receive an RTP/UDP video stream on port 5600.

Install AP FPV firmware

If the VTX has internet access, install the SSC338Q NOR AP FPV image with:

Terminal window
sysupgrade -k -r -n --url=https://github.com/OpenIPC/builder/releases/download/latest/openipc.ssc338q-nor-apfpv.tgz

After the upgrade completes, the VTX reboots automatically. Disconnect Ethernet if the Wi-Fi AP stream does not start as expected.

For offline installation, see Installation.

Connect to the VTX

After reboot, connect your phone, computer, or ground station to the VTX Wi-Fi network:
