Telemetry tile

The Telemetry tile in the current build is a placeholder. It renders a header (“Telemetry”) and a short hint text pointing operators to where the real telemetry readouts live. It doesn’t show live values — that’s what it’ll eventually do, but the implementation is pending.

Where real telemetry is

For the full live telemetry display, open the drone-settings drawer and switch to the Telemetry tab. See Settings drawer → Telemetry for the complete field list.

The Telemetry tab inside the drawer shows every field the drone publishes:

  • Position, velocity, attitude.
  • Battery: percentage, voltage, current, temperature, per-cell data.
  • GPS: satellite count, fix type, RTK status.
  • Wind, camera state, payload state, obstacle perception.

That tab is the current “real” telemetry UI.

HUD as a running telemetry display

If you want telemetry continuously visible rather than inside a drawer, the HUD overlay covers the flight-critical subset: attitude, speed, altitude, heading, battery, GPS, wind, obstacles. It’s drawn permanently over the drone-stream tile’s video.

Why this tile exists at all

The Telemetry tile is reserved as a layout region — it’s in the tile dropdown so operators can place a region for telemetry in a layout preset. When the full implementation lands, the placeholder text will be replaced with real data without requiring layout changes.

When the real tile ships

The planned tile will include:

  • A numeric-value grid similar to the drawer tab but dense-packed for a layout region.
  • Sparkline mini-charts for attitude, speed, altitude, battery.
  • Threshold-coloured chips for battery low / wind high / lost GPS / etc.
  • Unit preferences from your profile (metric vs imperial) applied consistently.

Until then, use the drawer tab or the HUD.
