Graham Boucher commented on Sandro Benigno's blog post MinimOSD meets ArduCAM OSD Config
"Sandro/Michael, love the config software, very easy to use :o)

I'm pretty sure you've already considered this but, could you add a way to edit the panels as well?

For example, change the "Heart Beat" panel to just display the flashing dot.
Or…"

"I'm trying to clone the latest MinimOSD code but having trouble...

Could someone tell me exactly what should be entered in the top line of the Git Gui window?  I've tried everything I can think of."

Graham Boucher replied to Dale's discussion Removing apm 2.0 shield
"Dale

Just a thought on sourcing the header pins.  I'm not at home so can't measure the pitch required but the following link is close and there are plenty more to choose from on the site.  A better approach may be to ask DIY Drones, they seem a…"

Graham Boucher replied to Dale's discussion Removing apm 2.0 shield
"Dale

Did you end up removing the shield?  Any tips?  I fully understand this would be at my own risk.

The length of cables on my quad only allow the APM2 to sit on the bottom layer of my central electronics stack.  I'd rather have a clear view of…"

"@Sandro, This is my first LRS so I don't have any advice, sorry.

I hadn't heard of ChainLink until your post but looked it up just now.  Seems it has three power modes, 500mw, 200mw and 0.1mw (for range testing).  The TSLRS also has three power…"

"@Sandro, Thanks for the confirmation!  Good tip about the ranges of the 3 different TX/RX's most users will have, Video, Xbee and main control TX.

I'm fitting a TSLRS diversity UHF soon (just waiting on the V6 unit) and have a Yellow jacket…"

"Do I remember someone saying this can be used at the ground station?

Makes sense in theory.  All the telemetry and video is available on the ground so why not save a little weight.

Another side benefit would be you only need one MinimOSD for all…"

"I had this all wired up nicely with my APM1,

now I'm trying to switch everything over to the new APM2 board and can't for-the-life-of-me find the pins I should be connecting to...

"Thanks to all for sharing their work controlling the motor mount LED's.  Specially Max Levine for the mod allowing the use of  Strip LED's.

I'd like to mirror the Red and Green (APM A & C) LED's to the back two arms of my X configured quad.  The…"

Graham Boucher replied to Hein du Plessis's discussion What do you do to see on your screen?
"I splashed out on a EP121 Windows 7 Slate.



It comes with a leather folio case that doubles as a stand, but more importantly a sun shade!


I use it for ALL my computing, FPV video editing, Mission Planner, Arduino 023 and replying to forum posts…"

Yaw tracking option
ALtitude (in meters)
Latitude
Longitude



 

Setting will persist until…"
