I have started to add functions to MinimOsd code.
At first i did it for myself only. Added many functions i thought i need. Then opened this thread.
after a while, Pedro and later Miguel came, and things started to happen fast. :D
They have optimised the code and added even more things to it.
They have worked hard on CT, and it became a great tool!
Thank you Bough! :)
By now MinimOSD-Extra got a pretty advanced OSD.
Here it is in action:
Added:
- Changeable unit measurement (US, metric)
- Airspeed
- Home alt
- Battery Percent
- Battery used mah
- Current Draw
- Time From Startup (cleared at takeoff to show exact flight time)
- OSD Menu
- Variometer
- Wind horizontal speed and direction, and also the average wind speed of the last few minutes.
- OSD on/off
- Switchable secound screen
- WP distance
- WP heading
- Crosstrack error
- Warning messages for Lost GPS fix, Stall, Overspeed, battery volt, battery Percent, RSSI
- Efficiency, glide distance & thermic notifier. 3 in one panel
- OSD Brightness
- HAM Call Sign
- After flight summary
- Trip distance
- Temperature
- Smoothened horizon
- Real heading
- RSSI
- Vertical speed
This functions can be turned on and off, and placed on different screens now, by the Config. tool.
Also RSSI, switching mode and channel and unit measurement, Stall speed warning, Overspeed warning, Battery warning volt, Battery percent warning, RSSI warning, can be set in new Config Tool.
We built in a new way of setting video standards. Now OSD does not guessing anymore :). You can set it fixed from CT. It is in "Video Mode" menu.
Here is how it looks: (This video is a bit outdated, sorry. I will make a new one soon.)
The MinimOSD-Extra project is here: Link
This project is the developing version of the official Arducam OSD located here: Link
The latest stable version is: 2.2
The latest version can be downloaded from here: MinimOSD-Extra R800
Username: MinimOSD_Extra
Password: Top_Secret
CT is included. (The FW for Plane, Copter, Character upload and the character file is in the "FW & Char" directory inside CT directory)
We are sharing it to see videos you make using it! :)
Enjoy

Good Job Gabor, Thank's.
I have two problems, the five number I see only a grey rectangle; and I can't see the home direction arrow. Any idea?
Hi Gabor,
Thank you for your contribution. I downloaded yout firmware 1.28. The units are imperial. How can I change them to metric?
Best,
İlhan
I added code to failsafe to turn on OSD if failsafe is engaged. from my ArduCopter H-2.0.49_OSD in events.pde
static void failsafe_on_event()
{
// This is how to handle a failsafe.
switch(control_mode)
{
case AUTO:
if (g.throttle_fs_action == 1) {
set_mode(RTL);
}
// 2 = Stay in AUTO and ignore failsafe
default:
// not ready to enable yet w/o more testing
//set_mode(RTL);
if (OSD_PROTOCOL != OSD_PROTOCOL_DISABLED) //mjc
set_osd_mode(1); // Forced turn ON of OSD Overlay if RC radio link is lost //mjc
break;
}
}
Sorry, I lost indents with paste
Can we sent custom mavlink commands to OSD now? Overlay on/off, Strings of custom text, Various status or alarm text?
One suggestion;
While disabling the OSD may be useful, and I would rather do it by another channel, I understand that not all have a spare channel.
Also - having 6 modes makes me sometime "hunt" for proper mode - and that disables OSD.
Disabling it by accident, during instrumental flight, may be dangerous.
I would suggest to keep the "disable OSD command" it as-is today.
but *enable* it on any mode change from disabled state. (not wait for "doubleclick" change)
- option to control it by another channel would be the best solution.
It's most likely something I missed, but I really don't understand why "Home altitude" (HA) changes during the flight. (what it represents).
Is there a reason for Altitude to be labeled as "TA" ? instead of "ALT" ?
Anyone got the "wind direction" indication to work ?
It changes only a few times during a flight, otherwise speed and direction is "stuck".
hi gabor...congratulation for your work...i install the hex firmware and update the charset and the osd work but the letters of osd appear in ramdom forms and disturbed....i reinstall the official firmware and work perfect....my system camera is ntsc...its this the cause of the problem??? please help me
sorry for my english
thank you very match
The difference is because of USB voltage.
Here's a sample video with some of Gábor’s software.
I have added RSSI, but this function, is most likely to complex for most users.
I am still testing it on both AMP1 and 2. It looks like a library was changed for inputs.

So far one live flight, I tested manual, stab, FBWA, Auto, RTL. All seemed to work, but it seems the plane turning was off.
The bad landing was nothing to do with the APM, poor pilot.

Let me invite you all who are interested in programing, to be a part of this "project": MinimOSD Extra
If you are interested please add me as a friend than send me a message.
Think i will stop for two weeks as i am going on vacation.
But you can still work on it, upgrading it, adding functions. ;)
I think my code can be simplified also to gain more space for new features.
Like just replaced tons of ifs with a simple do while, on wind speed panel.
I will work on this also, but as i am not a programmer, my efforts might not be effective enough. :)
Gábor
