Hi Andres,

I don't think the minimosd shows the home direction and distance if the APM2 hasn't got a GPS fix. Could that explain the behaviour?

Have you upgraded the firmware on the minimosd? If you have upgraded to 2.40 on your APM2 you should make sure that the minimosd is using the firmware with mavlink1.0

I use  Mission Planner 1.2.2 mav 1.0  and  ArduCam OSD Config-By Michael Oborne 0.5.4425.14358. Yes, I  upgraded firmwares several times, but now not sure, doing I right.

I upgraded OSD with  MinimOSD_19_MAV10.hex and APM do I must check...

Michael, did You mean, that I must install to my PC Arduplane-2.40 (from DIY Drones download section)?

No, in the APM planner there is an option called firmware. From here you can upgrade your firmware on the APM2 board. You should select the appropriate firmware for your airframe.

Thanks Michael!

Hi Michael,

The "problem" is that When MinimOSD boots up and can see  no video, than it can't decide between the standards, so it defaults to NTSC. Than you connect, or turn on your cam and as MinimOSD can only change standards on boot, flight data  "goes away". So you reset it with the cam working, than it does finds out about your cams standard, and works. Soldier jumper did nothing for me, so i started to look for this in the source code of MinimOSD. I have found this in the code, and fixed it to PAL. It is in ArduCam_Max7456.cpp

No more problems. I can turn my cam on anytime i want now.

Hope it helps. ;)

Hi guys,

Thank you for your suggestions, however it does not work :(

I've uploaded another video: http://youtu.be/okzYXiRHLFs

As mentioned in the video, get me a solution and I ship a beer (or two) to you!

Please ask me if you need to see anything I haven't covered in the videos.

Best regards

I've pressed the reset button a number of times after I've connected the different cameras.
