Display RSSI with ArduCAM OSD

Firmware and Windows Client are made from a modified version of the orginal one found here : arducam-osd

 

Update 30 January 2013, new version include :

  • Possibility to choose what parameter to tune with CH6

 

To enable this feature and display selectable parameter screen (screen 1)  :

  • motors must be disarmed
  • CH7 switch is engaged
  • Full throttle and full pitch

 

After you'll we see a check screen (screen 2) where you have to :

  • Put throttle in low position
  • Put pitch in middle position
  • Put CH6 in middle position

Then you can select parameter (screen 3) to tune with CH6, those parameters are :

  • STABILIZE_KP
  • RATE_KP
  • RATE_KI
  • LOITER_KP
  • LOITER_RATE_KP
  • LOITER_RATE_KI
  • NAV_KP
  • NAV_KI

 

  1. Move pitch stick to move between parameter list
  2. Select with full throttle a parameter to be tune with CH6
  3. Quit screen and start tuning the selected paramter with CH7 switchin off position

 

After tuning a paramter, go back to screen 3, and save new parameter value with yaw stick to the left.

  • Climb rate
  • Armed / Disarmed status (with Flight Mode)

@Chris Kreuzer : you mean it doesnt work with Mavlink 1.0 and AP 2.6 right?

Yes

Add this parameter  #define MAVLINK10 DISABLED in APM_Config.h to make firmware working with MAVLink 0.9

Comment by airmamaf on June 18, 2012 at 11:25am

I got a problem with Arducopter 2.6, it's impossible de read any value from analog pin A9 to A4 (issue 417), so RSSI display is always 0 for me. Anybody has the same problem here ?

I just wanted to check if you have made a mavlink 1.0 version of your minimosd firmware... I was using your firmware before and that solved the problem having to restart the minimosd at every startup of the APM.. but now when the newest firmware of the APM is using mavlink 1.0 your minim osd firmware does not work...

Comment by airmamaf on June 28, 2012 at 10:06am

No mavlink 1.0 version done and planed yet. If you want to use my custom firmware with arducopter 2.6, you can disable Mavlink 1.0 and then it will ouput mavlink 0.9 messages

OK... thanks for the information :) I will try that

Is there a picture? :)

airamaf, have you posted your code somewhere? I'm tinkering with the minimOSD code myself and would like to roll in a few of your changes (such as speed in km/h).
