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Here is how it looks: (This video is a bit outdated, sorry.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

Thanks

  Hi Luis,
  
  No it isn't :S
  
  I've just commited a new folder called librariesOK.
  
  Those are the libs we're actually using.

    Hi Miguel
    
    could you please tell me where the libraries are locateted ? I am particularly interested in the code for intercepting the Mavlink messages for vertical speed. My plan is to take the Mavlink VS data with a pro mini or micro and convert it to an analog signal which will be fed to the video TX audio input.
    
    By the way - I noticed that heading information is represented with 1 to 3 digits. In aviation normally three digits are used on PFDs or MFDs. A heading of 5 degrees would be shown as 005, a heading of 15 degrees as 015 and so on. It's just a matter of consistency for representing heading values.
    
    regards Andy

      That is a FANTASTIC idea. Just like the gliders have!!

      Hi Andy,
      
      The libraries are located here
      
      I think that that variometer feature shouldn't be hard to achieve with a mini.
      
      Thanks for pointing the 3 digit standard. It's a none code space cost.
      
      Also it gave me an idea to save more code space, thanks :)
      
      The only drawback regarding the leading zeros is the fact that the OSD will became more clutered.
      
      Let's see what other guys think about it.

        As a pilot, I say its a good thing. When things change shape on the screen they can be hard to detect even though the position is the same. I am PRO 3 digit!!
        
        Thanks for all your great work!!

        Hi Miguel
        
        sorry for bothering - how can I download the source code and libraries ? Found no way so far and can't imagine they have to be copied with copy and paste.
        
        Thanks for help and regards

        Hi Andy,
        
        No problem :)
        
        At checkout tab you have a code google note that links to possible "client programs and plug-ins".
        
        Nonetheless I use turtoise TortoiseSVN (it's not referenced in code google) which was refered to me by Gábor. IMHO tortoisesvn has a nice windows explorer integration.
        
        If you're not used to use svn clients expend some time reading tutorials.
        
        It's not hard but you need to get some basic versionig concepts (has I needed when came here :) )

        Hi Miguel
        
        thanks for the tip about the TortoiseSVN. Is installed and working. Another question - for compiling do you use the Arduino IDE or something else ?
        
        regards Andy
