    Hey all - after finally receiving my backordered FatShark goggles and having a jolly ol' time flying around, the need for an OSD has become quite apparent.  Luckily I had already purchased the MinimOSD a few months earlier.  I tried config'ing it but received what appears the be a common problem of not being able to speak to the bootloader.  I followed the information found here and here, checked this out and also this.

    I did see that I needed a FTDI cable to speak to the MinimOSD and upload a bootloader so good thing I already had this cable.

    However - still no go.  Would someone that has had success with this kindly let me in on something I may have missed via here or PM.

    Many thanks,
    David.

  • Thanks Randy

    Your suggestion worked. I loaded AC2.9.1b to my APM1.4 and my Quad is back to flying.

    You aren't seriously thinking of flying without an R/C controller, are you?

    @Gireesh,

         On the mission planner's firmware screen you will see a Load Previous Firmware link on the bottom right.  After clicking the download select an entry that has "AC2.9.1b" at the end

  • How I can get software version : 2.9.1 for APM 1.4. It is no longer supported. 

  • Depends on your software version: 2.9.1 - yes, 3.0.1 - no.
  • so I have been away for awhile is the optical flow sensor supported on APM2.5

Drone flying to non visible point

Hi there,I encountered a problem, while flying in auto mode, with approching to point that was not set by trajectory and is not visible after downloading mission from flight controller by Mission Planner. Does anybody encountered similar problem. The situation is that in the middle flight I stopped the UAV and uploaded new mission and after changing to auto mode it starts to fly in some direction. It goes straight to some point, so I assume it's not mechanical problem. I attached the link to…
