"is there a chance somebody can help me with minim OSD too?
My minim osd problem. I get it to display orientation, gps status and home arrows, but no other fields show data. Any help? everything set up according to arduplane wiki (apm 2.5,…"

APM 2.5 plus the 3DR radio telemetry works great, now I want to add my MinimOSD board.The MinimOSD board reads MAVLink messages from its RX pin…Continue

brian keith replied to Larry's discussion APM 2.5 + 3DR Telemetry + MinimOSD"That was the problem. Thanks"
brian keith replied to Larry's discussion APM 2.5 + 3DR Telemetry + MinimOSD"Ordered ftdi cable. Will try your suggestion. Thanks a lot for the help Bill."
brian keith replied to Larry's discussion APM 2.5 + 3DR Telemetry + MinimOSD"Was trying to get both wireless telemetry and osd working and only hooked up rx line
just tried with tx and rx and no telemetry module and the same result.
How do i check or reload the character set? With the ftdi cable and config program?…"
Bill Bonney replied to Larry's discussion APM 2.5 + 3DR Telemetry + MinimOSD"You have both tx/RX lines connected to the APM? Tx is needed to sens information for APM to start sending data.
Also check (or reload) that you have a loaded character set on the MAX chip."
brian keith replied to Larry's discussion APM 2.5 + 3DR Telemetry + MinimOSD"I tried that as well. When I had 12v and 5v hooked up at the same time I got too much noise. So much that i completely lost the signal. But even then I saw no osd. Since I thought the noise was coming from the 5v line i thought the idea was to…"
Bill Bonney replied to Larry's discussion APM 2.5 + 3DR Telemetry + MinimOSD"see http://code.google.com/p/arducam-osd/wiki/How_to_start_minim
If you connect the blobs, it seems that normally you would not connect the 12V, by not connecting the blobs you need the 12V line to power the MAX chip (via the onboard regulator)"
brian keith replied to Larry's discussion APM 2.5 + 3DR Telemetry + MinimOSD"I have minimosd v1.1. I have the solder points jumped and running off 12v battery. It's plugged into the apm 2.5. I can see video going thru fine but no osd. I mean nothing not just 0's but no graphics at all. Also i can see a…"
Brenden replied to Larry's discussion APM 2.5 + 3DR Telemetry + MinimOSD"I use both all the time. It's tough to tune the autopilot performance without telem and I find myself tweaking various things during flight fairly regularly. I can't imagine having to pull my APM out every time and plug into the USB. As…"
Glenn M replied to Larry's discussion APM 2.5 + 3DR Telemetry + MinimOSD"It allows you to fly and still see the important stats that the OSD gives, without having to haul a ground station around everywhere."
Michael replied to Larry's discussion APM 2.5 + 3DR Telemetry + MinimOSD"Can someone provide the primary advantage for running MinimOSD in parallel with the 3DR telemetry data? Ideally you would have video coming back separately and combined at the ground station with the HUD. My 800mw 1.3 Ghz video link has…"
Bill Bonney replied to Larry's discussion APM 2.5 + 3DR Telemetry + MinimOSD"See http://diydrones.ning.com/forum/topics/apm-2-5-3dr-telemetry-minimosd?commentId=705844%3AComment%3A1114746
The information is still sent to the OSD if you loose the telemetry link. the TX is just at startup as the APM is sent requests for rates…"
Brenden replied to Larry's discussion APM 2.5 + 3DR Telemetry + MinimOSD"I think there is a difference in how this works between arduplane and arducopter. I'm only familiar with arduplane. With arduplane OSD works fine with or t telem. As you fly in and out of telem range you will not see a difference on OSD. I have…"
Brenden replied to Larry's discussion APM 2.5 + 3DR Telemetry + MinimOSD"Jamie- thats good news. If you remove the jumpers again and power the other end with 12v you won't have any noise. Or you could try a ferrite ring between apm and OSD. Are you powering apm with a bec? Any way to clean the power coming in? Good…"
Markus Linderholm replied to Larry's discussion APM 2.5 + 3DR Telemetry + MinimOSD"With this setup, will the OSD stop functioning if the aircraft flies out of range of the telemetry radios?
I'm a little confused as to why the TX is not connected or why it's been suggested to add a swtich?, this might be blatantly…"
