I have recently upgraded from an APM2.0 to a Pixhawk PX4. Everything works fine
except i cannot get any Mavlink data into the Minimosd
My Setup:
Mission Planner v1.3.5 build 1.1.5260.33055
APMPlane FW v3.0.3
Pixhawk PX4 (3DR)
Minimosd 2.1 FW. Minimosd-Extra_Plane v2.2 (3DR Non-Clone)
NO 3DR RADIO USED
The Minimosd Boots up fine, says Booting, completes, then just sits there.
The Minimosd has both power jumpers soldered and is powered just from the PX4.
I have spent a couple of days on this now and tried all the setting i can find regarding the SR1 parameters,
but nothing works.
I have also tried using Minimosd v2.0 and even swapping the rx/tx wires.
Can anyone tell me if APMPlane + PX4 + MissionPlanner + Minimosd should work?
And how to get it to work
Regards
James

Ok - after many hours of playing around with MinimOSD and MinimOSD Extra versions and
trying every conceivable combination/settings of the SR1 parameters
I have been able to get Mavlink data from the Serial1 port to my PX4 and it works!
My simple solution - downgrade APM Plane from v3.0.3 to v3.0.1
I would seem to me that there is a major bug in v3.0.3
OSD Toggle Channel ch 6 for example
Rotation Switching off
CT Tool for MinimOSD Extra 2.4.0.1 Pre Release r788.zip, 479 KB
Ok i have used the 2.4.0.1 r788 CT and loaded up MinimOSD_2.4.0.1.mcm
and MinimOSD-Extra_Plane_Pre-release_2.4_r719.hex (as it's the latest one i could find).
The SR1 params look like this:
Serial 1 is also set to 57
Iam now getting "No MAV DATA!"
?
Thanks
I will give it a try when i get home and let you know
Minimosd software version?
Hi Xian06,
I have tried Minimosd v2.0 and Minimosd-Extra_Plane v2.2
