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Here is how it looks: (This video is a bit outdated, sorry.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

Finally got around to running some RF Scans of my minimosd boards.
I have 3 - RCTimer v1.0, ebay clone v0.1, 3DR minimosd. They're all noisy on the UHF control band, so I was curious to see how much of a dampening effect some copper foil would have...apparently the answer is - alot.
I just installed the latest MinimOSD Copter Pre-Release BETA firmware in my new MinimOSD. I'm using CT 2.3.0.5 for the adjustments. I've pretty got most of it set up the way I like. I'm having an issue with the Altitude reading though. It's displaying my Above Sea Level reading. I'm wanting to have it display Above Ground Level. Is this a bug in the pre-release version or am I not doing something right? I appreciate any help in resolving this. Thanks in advance.
edit: Never mind. Someone straightened me out. I had selected 'Altitude' for my display. I should of selected 'Home Altitude'. Dooh....I think I'm good to go now.
Hi Gurus,
did you ever see this osd phaenomenon that suddenly all fields are flashed in?
I use miniOSD v1.1 downloaded the version 2 frimware with the characters set as well it updated well fom Arducam-OSD (zip and hex file)
I get the screen 1 and 2 whic i reconfigured to suit my liking
I see some characters but no data at all
can yu give me a list of the setting of what Ihave to tick
in config OSD Toggle channel must be ?
whar RSSI mi and Max I used default
must channel raw be on ??
RSSI is ticked
the miniOSD is v 1.1
I use Fatshark goggles used to work before I flashed
do you know were to find the original firmware for v1.1 ????
the data send by APM using 3DR telemetry works fine.....
the video is ok
a bit of character garbage on the goggles screen but no data what so ever
I tried reflahing
HELP...
I have a DIYdrone miniOSD v1 the firm worked ok all was quite ok I decided to flash with latest now I get the screens configured to my liking but data does not appear I use Fatshark with APM2.5 radio link #DR radio is ok all data updating on my pC but not on the OSD why !!??? any clues what I did wrong
I was thinking of adding a Batt_B monitoring through a free ADC of minimosd. It is partialy done in code of minoposd (signle batt setup) and with some adaptation it could be added to minimosd_extra code.
I'd like to monitor the video battery, since only APM battery is retrieve trought MAVlink and i'm using dual battery setup.
In order to do that, i've to make some voltage divider to the adc pin, which will make a ground connection between minimosd at328 side and minimosd/maxim video side. Since there is a trouble in case of single battery connection (got 2 board fried, my fault, hadn't read the doc, soldering the pads, etc...), i was wondering if i'll have to do the same mod or not.
I'know the mod is for MAX ic AVCC and DVCC voltage separation, but i'd like to avoid frying to much board ^_^
Hello all.I was wondering if someone would possibly be able to code into the latest firmware an over-ride which would allow you to view the second screen regardless of an alert present on the first screen. I can understand why this was programmed into the code to start with but for my purposes it is a hindrance.
One option would to be simply remove the inability to view the second screen whilst an alert is present. However the better option would be to add an option to the config tab of the config tool to "Ignore Alerts" for the OSD channel selection. By having ignore alerts ticked (selected) the user would have the ability to toggle between screen 1 and 2 regardless of an alert being present.
Does anybody have the ability to be able to code this into the firmware and config tool? Would other people also find it useful?
Cheers.
I think the wind arrow should face the other way. I know that we always refer to wind direction with the direction it is coming from, but with an arrow as an indicator this is not intuitive. The arrow should show the pilot which way the aircraft is being pushed by the wind. In the photo below it looks like I have a headwind, but you can see by looking at the speeds that I have a tailwind.
Also, isn't the bottom wind number supposed to be max? Why is it smaller than the current wind?
I'm using r605 on a new octo. On this second minimosd board, I will installed the same setup I had on my small quad with 3S batteries. This octo has 4S so I just changed the battery warning to 14v. The problem I'm having on the octo is the battery just says 150% always. I'm not using the power adapter on the octo because the amps are too high. Is that why the % is not working or could I have something set wrong in MP? I will upload a video today. Otherwise no problems.
Here's a flight test with 2.3.R605. A few observations: strange duplicate characters by the VS reading during descent, the artificial horizon looks off, leaning to the left, and the altitude readings sometimes look a little off. In this flight I didn't test the second screen but it does work as expected when warnings appear unlike the previous version.
