Pete commented on Thomas Oldbury's blog post Help fund a new open source graphic OSD!"Thomas i live in the uk and i could help with the production of these boards where are you going to get them made.
I have a pick and place machine that i could do these on for you and i could show you where to get boards at a good…"

"Hello Tom,
I have just been reading about your plans, they seem very interesting. What I also found very interesting was looking at your profile page, you only live about 10 miles away from me."
Thomas Oldbury commented on Thomas Oldbury's blog post Help fund a new open source graphic OSD!"Also note that those figures are for PAL. I think they will be slightly higher for NTSC."
Thomas Oldbury commented on Thomas Oldbury's blog post Help fund a new open source graphic OSD!"@Ben Levitt, If we use 192 pixels horizontal "data resolution", then we can transmit 24 bytes per line, and using all 21 lines gives us 504 bytes per frame, and 12.6KB/s, assuming no error correction or other overhead. This should be good…"
"Sure, I just suggested line 21 because I like the idea of using an existing standard, which would allow us to use a standard close caption scraping chip. But I guess using more lines could give us more bandwidth which is probably more…"
Thomas Oldbury commented on Thomas Oldbury's blog post Help fund a new open source graphic OSD!"@Ben Levitt, This definitely planned, although more than line 21 can be used... why not the whole VBI, or at least most of it?"
"Looks awesome! I'd like to see the ability to embed telemetry data into the line-21 / EIA-608 standard closed caption format. Then we should be able to build a very cheap ground device to scrape telemetry data back out to a uart.…"
Riccardo Kuebler commented on Thomas Oldbury's blog post Help fund a new open source graphic OSD!"Tom,
I would vote for implementing it on UavDevBoard (too).

Thomas Oldbury commented on Thomas Oldbury's blog post Help fund a new open source graphic OSD!"It could be done. What is the interface? I2C, UART, something else...? There are I2C and GPS/UART ports on the board, and the low voltage analog inputs can in theory also be used for bidirectional data transfer, if necessary."
DaveyWaveyBunsenBurner commented on Thomas Oldbury's blog post Help fund a new open source graphic OSD!"Ardupilot Mega.
If the OSD can be configured to relay APM data (such as the mode, Waypoint etc) that would be super lovely!"
Thomas Oldbury commented on Thomas Oldbury's blog post Help fund a new open source graphic OSD!"What is APM? (Sorry, newbie to all these terms.) If it's a mostly software thing, it should be doable."
Sebastian Gralla commented on Thomas Oldbury's blog post Help fund a new open source graphic OSD!"an APM interface would be great!"

I'm working on Super OSD at the moment. Super OSD is an open source (open hardware and open source software) on screen display module designed for FPVers, but also drone flyers. I have already produced PCBs (below) and I am working on some initial engineering prototypes. What I want to do is to put the boards…
