Hi all, I've went thru the steps of updating the firmware and charset on my minim osd. After reading and banging my head on the table I've managed to get the osd to display telemetry, just the way I've set it up too!, haha it is glitchy (in and out)

I just ordered a Pixhawk to put on my s800 hexacopter.
As I need 12v for video TX and gimbal controller card i have a 3s lipo onboard, the ESC/motors run on 6s.
I just want to make shure my thinking is right.
I want to power the pixhawk from the std.

In the older versions of MIssion planner, when I made a grid, starting with a polygon, it used to create several waypoints within the straight sections of the grid, and I had control over how many of these, equally spaced waypoints were made.

Is there a better and faster osd available/possible for the APM?
the minimosd has too big fonts and update rate is slow, can it be like the RVOSD v5 with F-16 theme?

1. You have the compass (and APM) on an angle when the plane is level.
2. You do the accelerometer level calibration in MissionPlanner.
The accelerometer is zeroed in to this new flat level, but what about the compass?
I calibrated the ESCs, calibrated ACC, and also I calibrated Mag, and I don't know what else to do... my hexacopter moves sideways (to the left) when I start it, and I have to land it right away because it will probably flip if I push the throttle hi
