3689457599?profile=original

Firmware and Windows Client are made from a modified version of the orginal one found here : arducam-osd

 

Update 30 January 2013, new version include :

  • Possibility to choose what parameter to tune with CH6

 

To enable this feature and display selectable parameter screen (screen 1)  :

  • motors must be disarmed
  • CH7 switch is engaged
  • Full throttle and full pitch

 

After you'll we see a check screen (screen 2) where you have to :

  • Put throttle in low position
  • Put pitch in middle position
  • Put CH6 in middle position

Then you can select parameter (screen 3) to tune with CH6, those parameters are :

  • STABILIZE_KP
  • RATE_KP
  • RATE_KI
  • LOITER_KP
  • LOITER_RATE_KP
  • LOITER_RATE_KI
  • NAV_KP
  • NAV_KI

 

  1. Move pitch stick to move between parameter list
  2. Select with full throttle a parameter to be tune with CH6
  3. Quit screen and start tuning the selected paramter with CH7 switchin off position

 

After tuning a paramter, go back to screen 3, and save new parameter value with yaw stick to the left.

 

Compiled firmware : 20130129_ArduCAM_OSD_.rssi.time.status.climb.current.tuning.mavlink1.0.hex

Update 23 May 2012, new version include :

  • RSSI Display
  • T° display (maybe useless :) )
  • Climb rate
  • Armed / Disarmed status (with Flight Mode)
  • Speed in km/h
  • No more "Charset update"

"Charset update" was removed hardcoded, so to upload a new charset, you'll have to use the orginal firmware to do it and after you can use this firmware.

This new version need a new charset (MinimOSD_20.mcm) and the new client

Client : OSD_Config_RSSI_Status_Amp.exe

Charset : MinimOSD_20.mcm

  • @Chris Kreuzer : you mean it doesnt work with Mavlink 1.0 and AP 2.6 right?

  • Your firmware doesnt work.. :-(

  • Well there's an officiel firmware for MAVlink 1.0 here : arducam-osd

    My firmware could work, but not tested :)

    When I'll have some time, I'll update the firmware with actual revision of the official code.

  • Ohh it doesnt work...

  • Can I use "ArduCAM_OSD.rssi.amp.status.hex" with ArduCopter 2.6 (MAVLINK 1.0)?

  • Well analog port will use this : 5 volts / 1024 units or 4.88 mV per unit.

    So if max signal for you is 3.3v, max value will be 676 and it 100% signal, you should do the same for min signal value, and build your own function to display a percent (0% to 100%) according to the signal you receive

  • @airmamaf: Thank you for replying.

    Can you explain more about the Percent_RSSI part? Mine is a Rangelink. RSSI out is 3.3v max. Cheers.

  • @NguyenHaMinh, yes it' correct.

    But be careful, PERCENT_RSSI(x) function should be specific to your receiver, the above code is just for Turnigy 9x receiver.

    I used pin 7 for RSSI, because I had a problem with pin 8, but maybe it's an arducopter problem, so you should have a try with pin 8 for arduplane.

  • Hi guys,

    Noob question: Is the following procedure correct?

    1. Update charset with the original Arducam and FW

    2.Update ur FW

    3.Add your above code to APM_Config.h, line 21

    4.Add your above code to GCS_Mavlink.pde, line 412

    5.Compile with022 relax patch and upload ArduPlane( my case) to APM 2.0

    RSSI feed from my Rx would have to go into port 7 of the AMP 2.0 right?. Thank you for the code!

  • @AIRMAMAF
