"Bill, what is the f factor in the derivative component? 
 
 

pid->dTerm_1 = (d * f) * (error - pid->dState);

pid->dState += f * (error - pid->dState)"

Francesco Ferrara commented on Francesco Ferrara's blog post Ardupilot as OSD WITHOUT additional hardware (NO LM1881)
"I'm near a new version, that use SPI port not USART, pin needed D11 MOSI, D6 D7 to use analog comparator (with only 2 resistor!!!).
D11 (PB3) is not used.
D6 (PD6) is "remove before flight"
D7 (PD7) is GPS power switch
How it is possible to use D6…"

"To use the analog comparator, PD6 PD7 (AIN0 AIN1) are needed, but are not avaiable on this implementation sorry."

"There are some work on the code to integrate it in ardupilot, but I think that is possible.
This program is interrupt driven, and with only 1 line to draw (8 pixel) I think 64us per line, 1ms per frame (50hz) 1/20 of the time consumed to draw."

"There is one BIG difference.
I have used the USART on ATmega to reach a 8mhz pixel clock, with a superb stability of the text, thanks to it perfect timing.
Check it on NTSC signal! :)"

"If doesn't work with NTSC it is simple to adapt it, change le lenght of the VSYNC in the source code.
With 8Mhz pixel clock ATmega 328p is not fast enough, in fact, I must prepare in the 8 lines before the data for the 8 lines displayed.
But with…"

BaroneOSD is a PAL video overlay impression WITHOUT additional hardware required (NO LM1881 Sync generator).Use only 3 pin:D1 (USART TX) used to pump pixel in the video connected with a 330Ohm resistor to D6D6 (AIN0) Video in/out, connect here you…
