hey guys,
Well, i am working on a project using apm2.8 ardupilot, and i need to make a live transmission video using MinimOSD. I have found the code on DIYDRONES repository on github, but it seems that its not up to date with the version of Arduino IDE, so i need to know with wich version this code will compile.
I have tried version( 1.67/1.6.6/1.6.5/1.6.4/1.6.3/1.6.0/1.0.5) without any success
In my case, i need to edit the code of MinimOSD
While compiling the code in Arduino IDE, i get error.. it depends on the version of the arduino platform ..
For example, for the arduino version 1.6.7(latest version), i get an error in "FastSerial" library:
"error must include fastserial.h before the arduino serial driver is defined with minimosd"
I have tried several version of Arduino, they all had a compile error.
-The code is provided on Github:
https://github.com/machaalany/MinimOSD-Extra/tree/master/MinimOsd-Extra_Copter
-And the libraries are:
https://github.com/machaalany/MinimOSD-Extra/tree/master/librariesOK
--> can you please let me know with wich version of Arduino this code should compile ? I am in very need for this code to compile because i need to make some modifications
Thanks :)

thank you for your reply konstantin !
Well you said Visual Studio + VisualMicro plugin .. can i know how ? and to modify what does the screen display, i should modify the arduino code? or the Visual Studio/VisualMicro plugin code ?
Please explain as much as you can
regards
okey mate thank you for your help :)
Hi
I just compiled with 1.0.5 . Is not a problem with the version. I had some problem with the libraries
I did my personal relase , changed the altitude information and used to understand the mavlink messages
I used AC3.2.1 so i did chekout from the official repository:
"git clone -b ArduCopter-3.2.1 https://github.com/diydrones/ardupilot.git --single-branch ArduCopter-3.2.1"
Open the folder with librariesOK and copy it in your Arduino program path
..\Documents\GitHub\MinimOSD-Extra\librariesOK
In the Arduino go in preference and write the path (In my case i use git in windows )
...\Documents\GitHub\MinimOSD-Extra\MinimOsd-Extra_Copter
This is the result , hope will be useful

Dear Domenico,
Thank You very much for your how to file, this is actually what i want get in last one week. I want to get invole in mininosd coding so i get fully customized on this.But very hard to get starting point for me.
Just now, i do fast read on your how to file, still didn't get 100% understanding on it, but I will read it again and again. I hope I can get future help from you to get smoothly on minimosd coding.
Thank You again,
thank you for your help mate, finally it compile :D .. do you know if this code will work with ether Apm 2.8 and Pixhawk ? version wont be a problem ?
it works with anything that outputs Mavlink 1.0 , that's any recent ArduPilot project.
Btw, loading the code into OSD will be enough for its to work properly and to display data on screen right ?
nothing else is needed ?
okey mate thanks alot :)
It compiles fine on arduino 1.6.5-r5 , and some older. , nothing newer that that.
Yes, it's "Fastserial" that is the problem, I can't even get in touch with it's author.
AFAIK , it was once it was used for "non-blocking" serial write. The Arduino serial library have been improved , and I would still like to have a good programmer to answer the simple question: "is fastserial giving us any advantage over the usual serial or softwareserial library ?"
nobody seems to know...
