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Here is how it looks: (This video is a bit outdated, sorry.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

Give me a call. Funny that I had same issue in the last 24 hours. Talked to SparkFun about it.

hey! thanks for the reply - tried to call and left a message. Were you able to fix this?
What did rhey tell you?
Well..... I was getting a current draw off the Pixhawk of 154 amps. Ended up the current output of the power module was shorted to the main power buss and putting 24 volts to the I sense input.
Hi to all..congratulation to Developers...I have a question...I use openlrs and my intention it's build a ghettostattion only for tracking this is compatible with mavlink protocol
https://github.com/KipK/Ghettostation
http://www.wedontneednasa.com
It's possible to mod the code of minimosd to only send trought TX pin a gps data and baro altitude...or use other pin? Maybe 1200bps or 2400bps to connect to telemetry port of openlrs!!! The ghettostation suport onboard compass for point antenna and few types of protocol like lighttelemetry..or repack the gps mavlink to lightelemetry and send trought openlrs
I think the minim osd is Primarily for use in fpv flight and no need to pc or gcs to fly and no telemetry modem for fully data...and for tracker only need a gps data...but if I disable telemetry data refresh and only use gpsdata in ardupilot the minim osd stop working
Congratulations again
Best regards
What I am going to do is add a 3dr radio + bluetooth serial+minimosd to the ghettostation, this way I have only 3dr radio connected to the telemetry port of the apm on the copter. this simplifies wiring a lot and should decrease emi.
Also, even if my video link is down I would still have my OSD info. adding a bluetooth to 3dr radio enables to pair it with any android device with stock ROM no hassle with usb- host modes/custom roms. at the same time when I want to use my PC i would also be able to connect to 3dr via bluetooth. so a completely wireless antenna tracker with directional video and telemetry possible.
here is the rough schematic 3dr telemetry (tx, rx, vcc, gnd) connected to a serial-to-bluetooth module(rx, tx, vcc, gnd) + minimOSD only (Rx gnd vcc). minim receives video from 1.2 Ghz vRx overlays OSD and sends it to my 5.8ghz transmitter and to the fatsharks. everything fits inside of the antenna tracker except 1.2 vRx :)
for general FPV flying I am planning on using just my android phone with basic telemetry info. if I need full MP power just pair my laptop to the ghettostation via bluetooth and that's it. (disclaimer there are some kinks when connecting this way from a pc but nothing that couldn't be overcome).
I was to say, that normaly video link is much stronger, or other words more reliable than telemetry. Than i saw you use 5,8 ghz.
Keep us posted! :)
Also if you have pictures or video! ;)

5.8 is only from the aat to my goggles, air to ground is 1.2ghz
used with a directional antenna and a dipole on the aircraft, telemetry will pawn 1.2 ghz video. especially at 38k bitrate.
more importantly it is bidirectional.
p.s. pics/video coming after my tax return :D the most expensive part is that I am trying to find a broken mfd aat on ebay to re-purpose its body, really like the compactness and professional looks of it.
correction to my post above: "as long as video Tx power is in legal power range"
Hi...my idea is use only for puré fpv Long range flight..no auto mode...a simplified the airborne equipment...connect a frsky receiver to openlrs in ghettostation for repeater...I think a 1w openlrs it's enought for the job..telemetry in low bauds is better range...maybe 2400bps, the guy of creator ghettostation uses low bauds in lighttelemetry to send the data in audio channel this method explain in website link post in older message. But this protocol only suport taulabs boards, maybe arduino to read mavlink and repack the gps data in lighttelemetry and send trought openlrs in low bauds or maybe in audio channel or boht is a great solution for redundancy.
I not programmer skill...I only post a idea for implement better equipment for fpv flyers and easy integration
Thanks to all
Regards
