"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…"

Graham Boucher replied to Chris Mulder's discussion Mavlink Bad Packets when connected over XBee"I've been through exactly the same with my Xbee journey. I kept reading comments like the following in the Digi International Support forums:
"
...If you are using this as a simple point to point application, is there a reason…"
Graham Boucher replied to Chris Anderson's discussion ArduCopter 2.3 released"Graham
Is that a MinimOSD?
If so, could I "borrow" a copy of the sketch files you use.... I prefer your layout to the shipped default version :o)
With your sand storms and the Kalahari, do you worry about grit getting into the…"
Graham Boucher commented on Sandro Benigno's blog post MinimOSD in DIYDrones Store!"Thanks Sandro
Got it now :o)"
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…"

I've chickened out and moved the receiver, Xbee and MinomOSD from being over the APM2 board to various arms. Not an option for you with your heli I guess.
Best of luck with your setup.

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…"
Graham Boucher commented on Sandro Benigno's blog post MinimOSD in DIYDrones Store!"@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…"
Graham Boucher commented on Sandro Benigno's blog post MinimOSD in DIYDrones Store!"@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…"
Graham Boucher commented on Sandro Benigno's blog post MinimOSD in DIYDrones Store!"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…"
Graham Boucher commented on u4eake's blog post U4eake's showleds, arming and low battery warning leds"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...
This WIKI page is the only info I've…"
Graham Boucher replied to Steve Rausch's discussion motor mount LED's/latest firmware/mission planner - what is the status?"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…"
Graham Boucher replied to Hein du Plessis's discussion What do you do to see on your screen?"The only info for the MinimOSD is this blog post. I'm looking forward to it as it will complete my FPV platform but getting a little impatient now :o)
Could REALLY do with an update from DIYD!"
Graham Boucher replied to Hein du Plessis's discussion What do you do to see on your screen?"Hein
I've only had a few outdoor sessions with my setup and have always been able to see the screen. BUT the weather here is often pretty dull so not tried it in very bright sunlight yet.
I do expect to make use of the hood as shown in…"

A little light reading for anyone interested in collision avoidance and recovery.http://www.psicorp.com/library/SR-1450.pdfI like the idea in Fig.14 "The current PSI InstantEye prototype Robust MAV utilizes carbon whiskers to both protect the rotating propellers and to help reorient the vehicle for a rapid recovery from a collision"…See More
