Chris Mavrakis replied to Gábor Zoltán's discussion Adding extra functions to MinimOSD
"Wow this is great! they already did the wiki and all...
Thanks for the link, I'll keep tracking the project there then :)
Cheers

EDIT: actually, I see that they still commit in the google code repo, but there a already newly reported issues in the…"

"Dear Gabor,I know you have very little time, so it'll be short.
I have been watching this project for a while. It is a very nice idea, it works, almost everyone with APM who's FPVing needs it, and lots of people are interested.
There are problems…"

"I hear you!
Thanks all for your replies. I'll start using percentage/capacity used more then. :)"

Chris Mavrakis replied to Gábor Zoltán's discussion Adding extra functions to MinimOSD
"Yes, RSSI is radio-related, and that changes very rapidly. But still, it's only for a few percentage points, like 5%. Battery voltage has a much narrower range (9 to 12.6 V for a 3S, extreme values) so a fluctuation of 0.5V is about 13.9%. If you…"

Chris Mavrakis replied to Gábor Zoltán's discussion Adding extra functions to MinimOSD
"Steven G, .5V will always make a difference. What do you consider a safe voltage to stop flying a 3S at? 11V? Ok, then you have to make a rule for yourself to stop flying when the voltage shows 11.5. Ok.
But the reading being inconsistent, it may…"

Chris Mavrakis replied to Gábor Zoltán's discussion Adding extra functions to MinimOSD
"I understand... and I know what you mean, sudden drops will not register etc.
But having the reading fluctuate 0.5V, even when the vehicle is on the ground, makes it very difficult (at least for me) to use it. I'd gladly give up the responsiveness…"

Chris Mavrakis replied to Gábor Zoltán's discussion Adding extra functions to MinimOSD
"Hello Gabor and all,
I'd like to bring a new issue I've opened to your attention, because I have a feeling these issues don't get looked at.

Have you ever felt that the voltage reading in MinimOSD is unstable? Even when landed. Mission Planner's…"

Chris Mavrakis commented on Lukasz's blog post APM RSSI 3.3V input
"To anyone still reading this, I semi-solved my jumpy reading problems by removing the resistor from my filter. Turns out openLRS receivers already have a resistor, so they only need a filter. Still, I get about 10 points jumpyness :("

"John80, you were probably running AC 3.1, which does not have the feature. Try with 3.2!"

"Replying to myself again, for future reference of others:
The first 3 errors (GCS related) are "normal". At least, many users experience them so I won't worry too much right now..."

Chris Mavrakis replied to Chris Mavrakis's discussion Let's talk about Loiter/GPS problems
"I solved this. It was the GPS settings. I had modified them using uBlox center, to select EGNOS, for use in Europe.

I reloaded the 3DR script as-is and loiter and RTL are working great!"

Chris Mavrakis commented on Lukasz's blog post APM RSSI 3.3V input
"So, I made the cable, with cap and resistor. I do get values on the OSD but they're a bit strange. Especially when my Tx is OFF, the reading jumps around a lot.

I've used the "view raw" setting but still, when tx is off it jumps about 30%..."

"Thanks Anton, but I don't get what you say. My RSSI out is 0-3.3V. Can I just connect this to APM?"

Chris Mavrakis commented on Lukasz's blog post APM RSSI 3.3V input
"So copter guys have to wait for 3.2.

I'm wondering, is there a way to make it work on 3.1? Maybe a voltage divider to drop the 3.3V down to what the APM "by default" thinks is 100% signal?

What's APM's idea of 100% signal, in voltage?"
