NEW Direct (Goggles 3 only!) live view supported in tab Live

Prerequisites

• A Raspberry Pi 4 or Raspberry Pi 5 (1GB is enough on either) and a microSD card. Power it from a dedicated external supply or a UPS / battery pack — 5.1V / 3A for a Pi 4, 5.1V / 5A for a Pi 5 (mains supply, a BEC regulator, or a UPS). A weak or shared supply is the most common cause of random reboots: under sustained encoding the Pi browns out and restarts rather than reporting an error. A Pi 5 draws noticeably more than a Pi 4 — don't reuse a 3A Pi 4 supply for it.
  A cooling module is optional on a Pi 4 and recommended on a Pi 5.
  Download the image that matches your board — Pi 4 and Pi 5 images are not interchangeable.
• For screen output: a micro-HDMI → HDMI cable and an HD screen with an HDMI input.
• For the DJI feed: DJI Goggles 2 / 3 and a USB OTG data cable plugged into the Pi's USB-C port (ideally an OTG converter with a USB-A → USB-C cable).
• For any other video source: a USB TV card that plugs into the Pi's USB-A port and converts the video (HDMI video card / analog RCA / S-video, etc.). E.g. this EasyCap capture adapter, or HDMI-to-USB converter.

Each build is licensed to a single Pi. Beta licenses are usage-limited.

Get started

1. Download the SD-card image, then flash it with Raspberry Pi Imager:
   ⬇ Download image (Pi 4 / Pi 5)

   Latest: v1.20.1 — what's new

   • Choose Device → your board (Raspberry Pi 4 or Raspberry Pi 5)
   • Choose OS → scroll to Use custom → pick the downloaded .img.xz file
   • Choose Storage → your SD card, then Write
   • If it asks about OS customisation, choose No — the box sets itself up.
2. Power the Pi from the GPIO 5V pins (pin 4 = +5V, pin 6 = GND) — the USB-C port is the data link to the goggles, so it can’t power the Pi. Use an external supply or UPS rated for your board — 5.1V / 3A for a Pi 4, 5.1V / 5A for a Pi 5.
3. Connect to your box’s wifi network — it’s named naco.local_XXXX (each box has a unique 4-character suffix) — password 12345678, then open http://naco.local.
4. Find your device serial on the box’s screen (HDMI) or its web page, then request a license below.
5. When your license is issued, drop naco_license.key onto the SD card’s boot partition (or upload it on the box’s page) and reboot.

NEW Direct live view supported in tab (Goggles 3 only!) Live

Watch your DJI goggles 3 on your own computer — no Raspberry Pi needed. Plug the goggles into a Mac or Windows machine, install the small agent from the Live tab, and the picture appears in this browser. Recording, trimming and stream-out all run on your machine; the video never leaves it. Sign in to use it.
