Next attempt

Programing Ardu with original USB is easy - modyfications and compiling of sources in Ardu IDE is also easy .First how to connect GPS from OSD to Ardupilot .We must made a small hardware modyfication - add diode to suplly Vcc to GPS module and that all .[img]http://rc-cam.info/files/dioda_213.jpg[/img]dioda_213.jpgNext thing is modyfication in software - so in easystar.h file we must modyfiy line for GPS configuration like that:[code]#define GPS_PROTOCOL 0 [/code]Then in GPS_NMEA file like on picture :[img]http://rc-cam.info/files/symul_comment_740.jpg[/img]symul_comment_740.jpgOn bottom we see information send by Ardupilot - all is working in simulation mode with OSD GPS emulator software using two OTi cables - one is playning GPS with GPS emulator from remzibiOSD PC programand another port is monitoring TX line of Ardupilot .[img]http://rc-cam.info/files/s6301095s_117.jpg[/img]s6301095s_117.jpgAlso GPS is working as well with Ardupilot :[img]http://rc-cam.info/files/s6301098s_212.jpg[/img]s6301098s_212.jpgAs on simulation picture there are ATL problem - all time is 0 so I must to look closer why , maybe this is Ardupilot normal work .So in future - instead of monitoring cable will be pilot's TX to OSD's RX one connection to get Ardupilot data .Ok first practical try is done :) - all works fine , for next I will made some debug printing from Ardupilot and will start practical Ardupilot-OSD cooperation .Lastly - the main problem I have is a very short time I can spend for this nice playing with all this nice toys :) .

  • remzibi,

    glad to see you've found the time finally to play/work with ArduPilot. As a lucky owner of four ArduPilots and one remzibi OSD already, I'm still waiting hard for the "marriage" of those excellent gadgets. Good luck further on your great work ...

    Erwin
