"any further progress on this?"

Dirk replied to Gábor Zoltán's discussion Adding extra functions to MinimOSD
"You'll only hear a chorus of crickets after asking this question from the devs. Others will chime in they want it to.
I spent some time trying to get it to work, but haven't got it quite ready. I've been sidetracked way too often since i pledged my…"

How about Battery B?!"

Dirk replied to Gábor Zoltán's discussion Adding extra functions to MinimOSD
"I'm not holding my breath for help.  The past number of months tell me I'm on my own for this task. At least I took my head out of my a$$ and clued in of course the Tx isnt used on the MinimOSD/APM connection so I can use it for debug. 

Maybe so,…"

"I've tried to modify the code in order to read Battery B.  The readout is hardcoded for now to show in the middle of the display.
I've configured my APM 2.7 to read A0 and transmit 'voltage2' over mavlink.
Unfortunately I see garbled characters…"

Dirk replied to Steffen Kupka's discussion Can I get 12 PWM channels out of FrSKY X8R receiver using the SBUS to PWM Decoder ?
"Must you also configure the Taranis to Pxx mode to send all 16 channels out the PPM output?
I ask because I have a 9x running latest version of openTx, and the firmware does not have Pxx mode.  As I understand openTx does not have the ability to…"

"Do you mean we have newer versions of the tickets, or newer versions of the firmware that solve these closed tickets?
I see #84 was closed for example. Does this indicate minimosdextra shows battery2 voltage???"

"Well, I'm back.
Ive been sick a few times and distracted by my new 3d printer.
Last time i looked at this i had my first attempt at displaying the 2nd battery voltage compiled. I had problems with character sets following that and got discouraged…"

"I tried many times to upload via the CT tools app, and finally gave up and successfully uploaded via Arduino.
I rebooted and tested another time and CT tools magically uploaded again.
However, the character set was messed up.  Uploading the…"

Dirk replied to Gábor Zoltán's discussion Adding extra functions to MinimOSD
"Ok, I've modified the code, and now at least compiles.
I've tried to upload with the CT Tool, and found it will not upload the new version.  It seems to have a verification process built in.
I will burn tomorrrow from the Arduino GUI, and hope it…"

"Has anyone else had problems compiling the latest code?
I've followed the directions here: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=5540427
And am still faced with a myraid of errors.
 
I am using Arduino v1.05.  I've extracted the…"

"I will definitely get this done, and soon.
My aim was to have finished by now, but I just lost my main FPV ship 5 kms away - only time the DVR wasnt working of course.  So I've spent past 2 weeks building up another.
This rainy weekend I'll start on…"

"Dario,
 
Thats great.
Are you missing some code?  I don't see where 'mavlink_msg_battery2_get_voltage'  is defined anywhere?
 
Also, is 'CT tools' utility closed source?  I'd like to modify this to include 'BatteryB' so I can place the text…"

Dirk replied to Gábor Zoltán's discussion Adding extra functions to MinimOSD
"I fixed my own problem.  I'm stubborn, and don't quit until its resolved.
What I did:
- installed Arduino v1.05r2 instead.
- moved the prject files from elsewhere to the recommend program files\arduino\libraries directory. It may have been the…"
