The OpenIPC build part 2: Flashing firmware and getting the video stream working
291Welcome to part 2 of my OpenIPC project. There's quite a lot to cover in the one (hence the length). We need to flash our camera and ground station, wire up the wifi adapters, add BECs working on different voltages, configure some bits of software, and test it all out... and that's not including the issues I ran into :)
You can peruse the documentation on the main OpenIPC site here (more importantly it has links to the telegram groups): https://openipc.org/
You can find the STL file for the tools I made (and links to the pogo pins) here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6358225
