"For me the calculated values didn't match the real used mAh, it was about 1/3 too high. I need to check the A metering with a digital multimeter while the motors are running as the A metering doesn't seem to be correct at low values. I will need to…"

"V3.3 RC10 doesn't let me set the Initial_SetUp\Optional_Hardware\Battery_Monitor\Sensor to "4: 3DR Power Module", it always reverts to "0: Other"."

"BTW, nice to know I'm not the only PixHawk flyer in Belgium! If we both go to jail we'll have something to talk about. ;-)"

"I bought mine from here: http://mikrokopter.altigator.com/ . Good service and fast delivery if in stock.
I had troubles importing stuff from the US in the past, BIPT to be more specific, so I prefer to buy local."

"Agricultural UAV flights may be allowed as an exception, but there is no Belgian law for commercial flights. Our politicians spend more time now showing their face on the local TV shows and cat fighting each other as elections are on the way! No…"

"Mine is the version with the chip under 45°, same as here: http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/common-minim-osd-on-screen-display...

I power the board at the digital side from my Nexus7 and parallel to my 3DR modem with the USB cable (5V), please note…"

"Funny to read that signing a paper not to re-export the goods to a country outside the list will refrein criminals from doing so. Has any law, religion or paper ever stopped people being killed by guns?"

"A simple resistor of 150 Ohm (internal terminator R of 75 Ohm should already be in the Vin circuit) in series with the Vin signal wire makes the signal drop enough and the OSD overlay shows stable over the video image. Any value lower than 150 Ohm…"

"Now I'm getting somewhere!

I decided to look at the signals from both sources using a digital scope. Not much difference except the peak to peak voltage of the VRx being a bit higher. So I took some resitors to build a simple voltage divider and…"

"Do you mean that you know eg your kopter is in Loiter mode but the OSD displays stabilize or something else? Do you have an Android tablet with Droidplanner2 installed to compare?"

"I read on other forums about people having exactly the same problem, but they had a mix of NTSC and PAL settings and HW. Already tried to no avail."

"I tried with the original FW too, same problem. Please mind that I have my OSD at the groundstation, inbetween my VRx and monitor / goggles.Both cam and OSD are in PAL mode."

"I'm having a rather strange problem and so far I haven't been able to find a solution. I don't think it has something to do with the Extra-FW but maybe someone here can help me.
If I don't connect the video input of my MiniOSD I see "No Mavlink…"
