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Here is how it looks: (This video is a bit outdated, sorry.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

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

  • Can all these "extra" options be added onto a regular MinimOSD board?

    What and where can I find the latest firmware that would have these "extras"?

  • Hi All

    My setup: Apm-mega 2.74, minimosd fw r676

    Today I made some great autonomous flights - real fun. at some point I noticed that suddenly without notice, Minimosd stops superimposing the info on video. video still looks great but no OSD data overlay.

    During flight I was trying to toggle screens using my radio to no avail , something that works just fine before taking off. I am using ch5 -  a dedicated channel to toggle screens with rotary check-box checked.

    Anyone experiencing this same behavior?

     

    Thanks.

  • Im getting direction values often over 360 and yet the compass and GPS seem to be working fine. What could be the cause of this ?

  • Tried 684 copter today. Osd rebooted every time there was a modeswitch. (Loiter, rtl etc)

    Someone have a clue? Unfortunatly no video :(

  • My QAV400 went down in a field of hay - we sent up the Arducopter Tricoptex to go look for it...and...well see for yourself :)

    Anyway - I get this PM on FPVlabs not long after - the guy goes - Hey man I'm know you're hurting about the QAV right now but I wanted to ask - what OSD are you using?

    HAHA - I sent him here :)

  • I use MinimODS on my arducopter and was wondering if it would be possible to add an indication as to when the motors are armed/disarmed?  Maybe this has already been requested or implemented?

  • Is anyone else having issues with RSSI? I am getting16% with RSSI Raw, and  -180% without it checked. It doesn't change when I switch the Tx on and off. The DL Rx pin measures 2.75v max, and .89v with the Tx off. The MP HUD rxrssi shows 6.67 max, and 5.88 with the Tx off.

    Something isn't right here. It worked fine before.

  • Hi all, 

    I have this issue below when connect my minimOSD.
    Any idea what could be? It was working OK, then I did some update for firmware and charset, change osd location and got this image. Thanks.

  • Ok, just checked that nothing wrongs happens when you get over 65km total path, at least not some " integer overflow" over the screen :D

    But one more thing to fix, flight time only shows to 60min and than start again (Am I only one to fly more than hour and 65km with minim-osd extra?)

    flight 32km forth and back

  • FYI, I recently updated to Arducopter 3.1dev, and got an overly active "Over VSpeed" warning panel; rarely turned off even while sitting on the ground LOL. So I looked at the code, and I think I found the bug.The VS warning panel checks VS<abs(10*stall), and stall is initialized "0" (in OSD_Vars.h). Since imperial conversions are done at print time, I assume stall is in meters, correct? I planned on fixing this by initializing stall = .25 (m/s / 10), but not sure if I'm missing some new step in configuring the latest extra firm, or some other bug that is causing the VS warning to stay on.
