Cool Stuff. Just trying to support a Canadian distributor so we can keep Dany going.into the future. The shipping is cheaper and quicker :) Anyway sorry to get off topic everyone.

I'm starting the photos for the setup video this evening.

@Grips, I agree 100%. I will support also. I pre-ordered the purple beast from usa since it was not available for distributors. ... i'm also sorry to get off topic everyone. Now if Dany could accept my friendship on DIY ;)

This is awesome.  Wanted to check, I have a couple different ISPs (AVR_ISP2.0 from a KKmulti rig, an Atmel ISP, and an Adafruit TinyISP).  Is it possible to use any of these to program the MinimOSD or do I need yet another cable?  :)

Thanks.

@Burt: the battery_remaining data on MAVLink0.9 goes from 0 to 1000. The data will not show up right unless APM sends you the right value. We disabled it because we found some issues. Like I said is a work in progress there.

@Vaeddyn: Though you can upload the hex with an ISP programmer, the interface is based on serial for everything else. It means you still need a serial adapter to load/save layouts on EEPROM, update the CharSet, etc.

@Johann, like Michael wrote, yes you can connect MinimOSD in // on the telemetry port.

I'm working on a FPV168 with all the good stuff from DIY amazing team.

This is my schema so far...

Hi Guys,

    I see 3 holes at the back of the minim OSD board. I was wondering what is that for. It is exactly behind where the MAX video chip is places. I was wondering what is the purpose of these holes.

 

Thanks

@Cool Dude: those holes are not pin-outs, you don't use them. Those ones are part of analog stage grounding.

@Eagle: You've inaugurated a new section on our wiki: "Setup from Customers". ;)

Please, tell us what video-battery you're using there, as well as the model of your video transmitter with the respective frequency (E.g.: 2.4Ghz or 900Mhz).

@Sandro: I updated my Schema.

Video Bat: Turnigy 1300mAh 3S 20C Lipo Pack

Video Tx: ImmersionRC 600mW 5.8GHz. Frequencies: 5740, 5760, 5780, 5800, 5820, 5840, 5860MHz
