"Awesome Miguel!   Just loaded it, much happier.

Dum question, can you switch panels (between Panel 1, 2 and off) upon first power up?  i.e. before the copter can be armed (no gps fix etc).

I swear I could do this before to test panels but now I…"

"Lol.   Don't worry, mine was much more exciting... I just tried 1.2Ghz for the first time on my Quad and still had my Frsky 2.4Ghz Rx on there (hadn't moved one of the EzUHF's over)... that RSSI icon came in handy!!! (as 1.2Ghz and Frsky Rx was a…"

"That would be great Miguel!   It's very frustrating right now trying to watch the GPS status and other indicators while the summary screen keeps popping up before a flight.

Thanks!

"One thing I LOVE about Eagle Tree OSD Pro is the overhead map showing your plane position.   Is there any code space left to even consider such a thing?"

"And yes you are good :-)  That did it.

Just for kicks I tried using CT Tool r730 to update the charset but it also failed.  Then as you instructed I loaded r726, uploaded the charset and then uploaded r785 again.   No errors at all.

I did notice…"

"Hi Miguel, I'm having issues as well updating (though my charset is working fine, just want to make sure I have the latest):

When powering via USB or USB & 12v I get the following error from Config Tool 2.4:

Error entering CharSet upload mode -…"

"Update 2:  Yep looks like PAL was causing the DVR to roll over the OSD and display the last couple of lines of the OSD at the top of the screen which made it look like a "new page".  So that is solved.

Timer works though! ;-)

I'll start a new post…"

"I went out for my first flight tonight but things are not happy on mine.  I verified that the OSD settings were still good with "CT Tool for MinimOSD Extra 2.3.2.0 Pre Release r727" config tool but when I flew I had the following issues:

1. …"

Cheers

"Timer not working in MinimOSDExtra_Copter_Prerelease_2.4_r750.

Just done a couple of flights now with this new code and noticed that the OSD Flight Timer just moves from 0 to 1 and then back to 0 constantly (constant reset?).

Anyone else noticed…"

"FYI I also finished upgraded my MinimOSD Extra to the latest 750 pre-release and looks like everything is back up and running.

No issues so far."

"Tim -
First - just to clarify:
You WERE able to reproduce this failure with the APM plugged into a battery?
Was this via a BEC at the OUPUTS rail or with the APM POWER MODULE?
Was JP1 jumpered or open?


Yes this was with Lipo and USB connected. …"

"Lol sounds good.   I'm also placing another order with Digikey for caps and more regs (just in case my testing gets a little "out of hand" or I revert back to "dumbass" mode (hmm, is that one of the flight modes? lol).

Cheers
