I have seen a video of the original Iris that had an open telemetry port that was used for the overlay.

Just got my IRIS+ today. Ordered a few extra batteries. Was thinking of picking up an additional charger, possibly one with a few more features. What would people suggest?? No need for multi battery charging, but I see some have a discharge and stora
