"Hi,  Gábor!

Today was great weather and I tested copter with new firmware to no avail. Never get zero problem again, but look at the clock :)

"I just tested my copter for endurance and performance :)
This one is not built for girly filming and photos, it's build for RACE!"

"Hi,

I got some problem (and I'm not alone) with home altitude. It sometimes suddenly resets to zero.
Here is another one with the same problem http://diydrones.ning.com/forum/topics/ac3-1-2-baro-alt-reset-in-mi...
And here is my video…"

"Same thing, maybe it's minimosd bug? On the graph it look like ok.

"At last I got the right weather to test new version to the max, everything now looks good, no range problems and signed integers :), thank you Gabor. Next target - Moon :D

vilnis.lauva replied to MD's discussion New OSD
"I can fully agree with that, MAX7456 OSDs was great and well served for many years, but it's about time to think about some graphic osd. It can be relatively easy built on arduino or pic platform."

"Yes, it can, I just covered 42km forth and back (total flight path 91km) spending 9900mah and still 3000mah left in batteries wich allow about 30km  flight.

vilnis.lauva replied to Gábor Zoltán's discussion Adding extra functions to MinimOSD
"Ok, just checked that nothing wrongs happens when you get over 65km total path, at least not some " integer overflow" over the screen :D
But one more thing to fix, flight time only shows to 60min and than start again (Am I only one to fly more than…"

vilnis.lauva replied to Gábor Zoltán's discussion Adding extra functions to MinimOSD
"Looks like there are some minor bug or maybe I can call it issue with total flight path. In the summary table it shows total path as signed integer, and so, if it is grater than 32km (32,767m), it shows negative. for ex, today I got 49.23km total…"

But then another question rises, If my board is yaw180, do I…"

"That's great, now I  can try RSSI, because ports A0,A1,A2 is already used for airspeed and attopilot and only port left for RSSI in mission planner is "mystery" A13. Now I know where they hide it :)"

vilnis.lauva replied to Fête Mobile's discussion MinimOSD Hardware Development Roadmap
"Can't agree more, I fried two of them by accidentally making common ground btw input and video power. Also, with this problem it's impossible to use minimOSD in tiny FPV/UAV projects, where only one battery can be used."

vilnis.lauva commented on hazy's blog post I've ported MinimOSD to Remzibi's hardware
"I also can't install firmware with OSDConfig, so I use Usbasp to program directly in chip. Most likelu something is wrong with bootloader. Configuration and fonts I can upload then with OSDConfig"
