Can someone explain how to setup RSSI for my EZUHF to show on my Minim OSD? Do I select a spare channel on the EZUHF and configure it to have RSSI? Where do I plug that channel into the APM and how do I get it to read on the OSD?

Im getting the pwm values to show up correctly but no matter whether the "rssi enable raw" box is checked or not does not matter as it only will show raw. Ive tried every version of the CT tool i can get my hands on. Any help would be great because im hitting my head on the wall right now.
Hy i have some question here.
I put my ezuhf channel 8 on link
Than i take my minimosd extra and said channel 7 and said 1100min to 1900max
Next i connact a cable from ezuhf ch8 to apm 2.6 channel8 .
(Chennel 1,2,3 are servos and throttle and 8 is modes (manuel stable rtl)
When i put on my minimosd it says -99%
But it doesnt mather if i connact the cable or not.. now it says always -99%
I also tried RSSI instade of LINK in the UHF settings also i testet RSSI Raw enable .. nothing changed
To i have to change some settings in the APM to?
I was watching the servo channel konfiguration in the apm-mission planer and if i turn on the radio it says 1794 ... turned of it says 1074 so i can totaly see it changes something on channle 7 in the settings,.. but the OSD can´t see it :(
@RcFox
Just to clarify you will need to use the EzUhf config tool. On the 2nd screen theres a drop down for each and every channel. Basically pick channel 8 and in the dropdown pick rssi or link. This means that the ezuhf will send that on that channel which the APM/PH can read.
Hi rcfox, see if you can change the channel assignment in your transmitter so you can configure channel 8 in ezuhf to send the RSSI/LINK. AFAIK the current minimosd firmware will only read channel 8 on the mavlink messages.
If you cant change channels in your transmitter and if you still have channel 7 on your ezuhf set to LINK/RSSI then plug in the servo cable coming in from that to the input channel 8 of your APM2.6.
I used to use the CTool 2.3 it looks like the latest one 2.3.2 fond int:

has this already, I can see the "RSSI Channel" with pull down values of MAVLINK RSSI and Channels 5 to 8. The RSSI Min and Max values can now be also set to a max of 2000.. will try tonight!
I also have a EZHUHF Rx along with a Mavlink OSD. I have set channel 8 in the Immersion tool to output RSSI, and then flashed the latest MinimOSD-Extra copter firmware to the Mavlink board. I am getting weird PWM readings after checking the "Raw RSSI" checkbox (a higher PWM when my Taranis Tx is off versus powered on???). Do I need to reverse channel 8 to correct this? If not, any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong? Also, I saw the option for outputting the Link quality versus the RSSI in the Immersion tool. I assume it will also display a percentage value of the link quality similar to RSSI??
Hi Glenn, can you perhaps tell me how you got EZUHF RSSI/LQ to work on APM/MavlinkOSD? I don't get any reading on the OSD screen.
I set up LQ out on Ch7 of my EZUHF Rx, and run PPM out on Ch1. I've tried picking up the LQ through the PPM stream, and also tried picking it up through a separate wire going from the Rx to A0 on the APM (after enabling A0 as RSSI input). No luck.
Also, what should the MavlinkOSD RSSI input be set to? Mavlink RSSI or Ch7?
Thanks for any help!
I know it says you can choose the channel in the CT, but only Ch8 works. So you have to output to Ch8 instead of 7 and then you should be set. The CT should be set to Ch8
Thanks, I'll try it on Ch8. After many hours of trying to get it to work, there's some light at the end of the tunnel!
Yes, I am outputting the RSSI/LQ via Channel 8 on my EZUHF Rx and have it plugged into the 8th Input on the APM 2.5 (where you plug in your ESC's if you are flying a multirotor). At first I tried RSSI and I am still getting 5-digit percentages for RSSI?? I switched over to LQ and then re-run my PWM's (Min & Max) and it seems to be working (0% with Tx off and 100% with Tx on). One strange thing though - next to the LQ percentage I also get a "2%" showing up?? i.e. "Radio symbol then LQ%2%" It is working nonetheless but strange. I am running the latest pre-release firmware for a copter so maybe there are a few bugs??
