Adding extra functions to MinimOSD

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Here is how it looks: (This video is a bit outdated, sorry.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

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! :)

  • I am having some problems with the callsign. It doesn't show, just flashes up every once in a while. Is that intended? Would it be possible to have a free text field which accepts all chars and is present on the screen permanently, kinda like a watermark? I'd also like to suggest adding (GPS-) date and time fields.

    Reason for this is that I am working on a project for usage in SAR and the videostream of the onboard camera including the OSD should be recorded for documentation purposes.

  • Hey gang...still here!!!

    I'm running JR's port on my CC3D 

    There were  a lot of changes to this rig namely

    OrangeLRS TX running OpenLRSNG 3.1

    DTF UHF mini UHF receivers also running OpenLRSNG 3.1

    Crius CN-06 with a DIY ground plane antenna (this was critical for getting it to punch through localized interference and grab a gps lock)

    MinOPOSD on a MinimOSD v0.1 board

    Finally flying!!!

  • Looks like there are some minor bug or maybe I can call it issue with total flight path. In the summary table it shows total path as signed integer, and so, if it is grater than 32km (32,767m), it shows negative. for ex, today I got 49.23km total path and at the and it shows -16307m :)

    But looks like there rises another problem, what happens if flight path is above 65km (65,535meters)?

  • Copter Vertical Speed Warning fixed: r682

    Miguel

  • Here is a flight with r681 and AC3.0.1

    I made the mistake of uploading the latest character set instead of the one with the version number of the CT so the armed icon is wrong. Only problem I noticed is STALL warning. Why do I have that?

  • Hi,

    So here it is a new copter pre-release r681

    It should fix warnings panel not showing.

    Any feedback testing it would be much appreciated.

    Regards,

    Miguel

  • Recent flight with MaxiSwift on August 6. With MinimOSD firmware 2.4_r667. Tested new openLRSng 3.0 firmware - first test of telemetry link. Latest ArduPlane firmware 2.74b. And latest er9x firmware r801. What is the strange displayed value below the RSSI signal, please? The summary page somehow was not displayed at the end of the flight as it used to be in previous firmware releases...

  • Just tried the latest update (20130808) r680 and i have spotted two probs for me.

    - it keeps jumping back between screen 1 & 2 even though i have disabled screen switching. How do i stop this ?

    Ive tried duplicating panel#1 to panel#2 using a text editor, but that doesnt work. It seems to be alternating with another screen which includes a "2.4" which im guessing is the version details etc.

    - I cant get the horizon to show, other details are fine. Theres nothing overlapping it but it just doesnt show ever.

    - many times the screen is blank or lines are in the wrong position. Others have mentioning a syncing problem. I have found the only way to fix is to hit reset on the minimosd couple of times until  it gets in sync. Strangely this is also true of older minimsd extra firmware. Switching to the firmware from the minimosd project 2.2 just works.

  • Hello Miguel,

    in the last pre release the warnings are all gone.

    The same settings with an older version are ok

    Did i forgot some new settings?
