"Hi Paul,
Clearly you know a fair amount about this OSD.
So I have a favour to ask. I have 3 other topics in the OSD forum that no one has touched in several days.
Is there any chance that you might look at them please.
For you they are probably…"

First, its obvious I am a OSD noob of the first order.Next, its obvious I am progressing at a snail's pace because I do not understand Panel 0 of the CT.Many boxes on it do not yet make sense. Here is a picture of the CT and some of my questions:Any…
"Hi Paul,
Many thanks for putting out this note.
I followed your specs and it worked 1st time.
I use a Pixhawk with roughly the latest Rover software and Taranis plus radio and X8R receives and a MinimOSD Extra.
Now I have a request; do you know any…"

Please look at the images I have uploaded.I seem to be missing something on these.On my Goggle screen, both A & B voltages come up as 0.0 but the Current appears as a value.What are the adjust PINS being referenced? Have they anything to do with…
I have searched everywhere for a straight forward explanation of what is needed on Channel 8; or any channel for that matter.I have a land-based Rover with a Pixhawk, Taranis radio, X8R receiver, and an older version of the Minim OSD. I am using…
"I have to follow a very strict order on power up for it to work:
0) TURN OFF Mission Planner!
1) XMTR ON, ie my DX6
2) Main 7.4v bus on
3) Plug USB cable into Windows PC and Pixhawk
4) Bring up PUTTY on Windows with COM5, 38400 baud, serial
5) ARM…"

I do not understand "make" and "makefiles" enough the do this.The makefile that accompanies the AP_InertialSensor.pde is very simple and I need to know where it fits into the other makefiles.I can compile the overall code for the AProver2 using…
"Sam,
THANKS a million!
I got it working finally with PuTTY using COM5, 38400, 8 bits, 1 stop, no parity and XON/XOFF.
I use the USB cable to the PC from the Pixhawk. It does take exact timing and sequencing to get the ports open just right with the…"

"Sam,
When you made the connection to Putty,what were your params for the connection? I cannot get mine going yet.
Serial port?
Baud Rate?
Bits?
Stop Bit?
Parity?
xon/xoff?
Also I am guessing in Putty you used 127.0.0.1:2300 on a "Serial"…"

"Hi James,
Have you tried this and if so, what terminal program did you use in the PC?
Do I have to go through Mission Planner at all?
Thanks
Jim Calvert"

"Hi Bill,
I have been scouring the web and found that there is a solution using cables and Serial Port 4/5.
Apparently, if you take a DF13 connector and solder it to mate with a FTDI / USB cable. That part is no problem, I can handle the pin-outs…"

"Hi Bill,
Thanks for your note.
For your idea, can the USB cable be used?
Also, is there any way we can write the messages to the output message found in Mission Planner.
That's the one that appears when you check the box at the bottom of the Help…"

Hi everyone,I am frustrated in trying to get any kind of message out of my code with some sort of printf OR similar statement. These would be temporary statements to be removed after debugging.I heard that hal.console was part of a solution but…
