New Mission Planner GCS feature: integrated OSD video!

Posted by Chris Anderson on June 11, 2011 at 8:00pm

3689412367?profile=originalIf you update to the latest Mission Planner (1.05) you'll see a cool new feature Michael Oborne has just added: integrated OSD video! Just select your video input device from your aircraft's camera feed from the Configuration screen (Planner tab) and it will replace the background of the artificial horizon on the GCS, turning it into a heads-up display instead, as shown in the left window above.

 

Pretty cool, huh? It's a virtual OSD!

    Great feature!!! I've been thinking about this for ages. I don't understand why people have been worrying about hardware OSDs??? It makes much more sense to do it like this.

    Thank you Thomas, I found the updata in the help tap from GCS. :)

    So what are we currently able to use the Xbee's with for communicating with this GCS? I know we can't obviously load code over Xbee...but the CLI....sensor testing...etc...can be used with the Xbee's and not have to be over the USB??

    Mission Planner GCS looks great, and the virtual (video overlay) OSD with selectable feed just takes the cake!
