"I am not a programmer. Sorry if I gave that impression. 
I have seen that radar feature on the MinNaza project for the DJI NAZA so it can be done just has not been done for the APM/PixHawk. Maybe the developers can help you.
Nice picture of the…"

"Super duper!
If the MinimOSD is ever improved hardware-wise the one thing that would solve all this would be more memory. Right now it's like the Green Acres TV show where you have to unplug one appliance to run something else, but we sacrifice…"

"That's the old character set situation.
The problem is the character set loader is missing from the new versions to make room for other code
(at least that is my understanding.)
So load the the new character set with the old 2.2 firmware then load…"

"That is normal.
You have to go back to the stable/old firmware(see downloads), load the new character set, then upgrade the firmware again to R800. "

"Oh! well I am glad you found what you needed.
You would think it would be on the flight mode screen, right? But noooooo way.
Just to recap for others, I changed the flight mode channel under config/tuning under the full parameter list. Look for…"

"Some have found that this message appears when trying to power the system from the USB cable.
If that is the case switch to battery power like you are about to fly. Remove the propeller to be safe. "

"You have done nothing wrong.
Unfortunately the RSSI is inverted with the EZUHF. 
In the movie you will see that I chose to use Link Quality which is non-inverted and responds to degradation from interfering signals. In my opinion Link Quality is the…"

Got the EZUHF RSSI/Link to work with my Skywalker APM 2.6 plane.
The RSSI has inverted values and extra percent sign problem but it works!
What I used:
EZUHF TX/RX firmware v1.50
ImmersionRC Config Tool v1.40
MinimOSD firmware Extra Plane…"

"Thanks so much for the reply.
It's great that you are willing to put the time in to make these additions to the code and I am
sure there will be many who will benefit from it, including me.

"@Dirk 
   If you get this mod to the MinimOSD Config Tool could you give me a copy of it or a link to such?
I am very interested in adding this feature as I use a separate video battery on my plane.
You can reach me here:…"
