Minim Osd

Hi all,I've just been doing some tests with the Minim Osd and I must say it's great. One thing which is bothering me though is the positioning of the characters on the screen. I am transmitting using a fatshark 5.8 Ghz transmitter to my fat shark goggles. I am then routing from the goggles to a monitor. In both the fatshark goggles and the monitor, the bottom most characters are cut off at the bottom of the screen. At first I thought it was defaulting to NTSC so I soldered the PAL jumper on the…See More

"Thanks Dany ! That explains the garbling (is that a word :) In regard to the jumping around it all seems fine now. Copter is behaving as expected. I double checked all the cables and everything seems fine but I can't discount a possible short…"

Cli data garbled and strange APM behaviour

Hi all,Wondering if anyone has advice. I stripped down my Arducopter before Christmas to make some changes. I added an APM 2560, optical flow sensor, navigation lights based on the 123 Blink post and a minim osd. I didn't have a chance to finish it off and left it sitting partially rebuilt until today. I have just finished the rebuild, downloaded the latest mission planner and uploaded the latest code. When I go into the cli I find that some information is legible and some is garbled. The cli…See More

"No. The wiki is correct. If I move pitch forward motors 1 & 3 will spin, back, motors 2 & 4, left, motors 3 & 2 and right, motors 1 & 4."

Eoin replied to Glenn M's discussion Another arducopter flips on takeoff thread.
"Hi Glenn, I had this problem before and after a lot of head scratching I realised I had wired the power distribution board incorrectly. Basically the APM was firing corrective signals to the wrong motors. It might be worth double checking your…"

Tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Always been fascinated with RC Aerial Vehicles but haven't flown in a long time. A couple of weeks ago I decided to take it up again, got my hands on a simulator, started practicing and started researching the latest developments. Am an avid fan of the Arduino platform which I've used in many projects. Always dreamed of building a UAV with photography and filming being the main interest. Back then it was just a dream. Imagine my surprise when I discovered this site !
