what osd to use?

[SuperSharpShooter]

Has there been any progress made with the MinimOSD and AQ? I'm just going to recompile the latest minimOSD extra code to change the baud rate, but what else do I need to change to get it going? I'm most interested in having battery voltage, flight mode, heading/distance to home, and gps lock.

Hey sharpshooter,

If you get this going can you please provide a step by step guide? I'm waiting on an order from Jussi and when it's complete I plan to add the miniosd to the frame.

Thanks

James

You can use your 3.3V FTDI cable. 5V is fine too.
Select arduino nano with Atmega 328.
Upload from arduino 1.x. You do not need a hex file. Just open the source code in arduino, make the changes and upload.

thanks Christof!

I downloaded the files from the latest release one by one - kinda painful... is there an easier way to download all of them in "bulk"?

have u had success with the minimosd, any other modifications to the code?

I got my MinimOSD too. But it came without a bootloader so I could not use the config tool (it just said "talk to bootloader failed etc) Managed to upgrade to the 2.0 firmware hex file but did not hep with the bootloader.

So I used my arduino as an ISP hooked it up to the ISP headers of the MinimOSD and ran avrdude to program bootloader. Now the config tool was working but no working display output of the minimosd. So I tried to upgrade the firmware again, now the display is working with my last config but config tool is not working again (seems like the firmware upload is overwriting the bootloader).

I see that I MAVLINK heartbeats are received but cannot confirm if heading, altitude and speed etc are working as my hexa is not flying yet.

Christof,

Thanks again, I never heard of turtoiseSVN... Another thing I just learned!
I moved the libraries, made the change to the code and it compiled (Verify) okay - without any errors.
Tonight I will see, that I can flash it to the minimOSD and then connect it.
I will report back.

And you can use TortoiseSVN for the AQ source as well. Just run update and you have the latest version in your repository.

Hope to hear soon how it went with MinimOsd.

Best

Medium Success!
Figured out how to get the minimOSD set NTSC and get a few others sorted out.

- Heading does not seem to work
- Compass or heading rise does not work
- Voltage okay but remaining battery does not work
- GS (ground speed) shows as FWB? (the symbols from the config tool are different on what you see on the screen).
