    I will give you the source code soon, give me the time to medify my code a little bit. Here's some important code:


    For the KML part, I started from this source: here... (it's in french !)

    This VB module creates a .KML file witch is read from VB every time you want.

    The KML is open with :

    Open App.Path & "\Temp.kml" For Append As 1

    Set GEI = CreateObject("GoogleEarth.ApplicationGE")

    While (GEI.IsInitialized = 0)
    DoEvents
    Wend
    'Fichier = App.Path & "\Read.kml"
    Call GEI.OpenKmlFile(ReadFile, 1) ' 1= no error message in GoogleEarth

    Hi there,
    impressive work... I was looking lately on interfacing Google earth on VB6. Basically I only want to show the map centered to the coordinates I supply from a VB text box. Can you help me, maybe you could point some sample code you might located on the web.
    Thanks

    Best regards
    Nas

    Battery level, waypoints, GPS coordinates and Direction home will be added the the OSD. GPS speed will be replaced with true air speed.

    It will be compatible with the ArduPilot Shield board.

    The Google Earth display code will also be improved.

    I've received a new EM-406 GPS. The toasted one delayed the advancements of this OSD.

    I will work on the program a little more. I want it to be compatible with ArduPilot and maybe Paparazzi ( Since I use Ardupilot and my team Paparazzi...)

    Can anyone give me a standard data string received from Ardupilot from the lastest version?

    I have a home build ArduPilot program. That's why I need the standard thing.

    This looks really nice. could you supply a sample of the VB6 code that does the HUD?
  • Jason Larocque June 4, 2009 at 2:27pm
    Yep,

    I'm just waiting my new GPS and a new XBee module. I toasted both with a short last week :S
