Remzibi OSD Ardu1.3 Firmware and Config Tool Update

Posted by Paul Mather on May 14, 2010 at 7:30pm
WiringEverything.gifRemzibi released a new version of his firmware several months ago and the config tool is now compatible. Sorry for the delay. For those who are interested, there is a rather lengthy tutorial of sorts I wrote on RCGroups about getting the Remzibi OSD to work with the ArduPilot, Optional ArduShield v2, ArduIMU v2 and the NMEA GPS that ships with Remzibi's OSD.

The thread can be found here: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1234310

Step 5 includes information on using the output from ArduPilot to supply GPS, pitch and roll data to the OSD. Below are a few screenshots of an EasyCAP screen and the modifications to the config tool to indicate where the moving dashes are on the OSD.

    No, I have not tested yet. The next week I should be able to do so.

    Yves, did Remzibi make it to that event?

    With the Ardu firmware on the OSD the message strings are much smaller and easier to generate (one message less than 120 characters) instead of 3 messages (GPGGA, GPRMC and $M custom string)....but no, I haven't tested it in the air.

    Great work as always Happy!

    Have you tested this setup in the air, because I've tried to FLY_BY_WIRE with your previous code and got a feeling that servos answer is a little jerky ?
    I've come to the conclusion (maybe wrong) that reconstructing nmea strings is to much time intensive (or beeing called to often). What about sending raw binary DIYd-0x3 IMU message to the OSD and ask Remzibi to write dedicated firmware to parse it ?

    Another thing, the meeting of the eagle in France was amazing.
