668477 / minimosd-extra Goto Github PK

Hi,

I was trying to change panels while not flying to remove the OSD info and 
configure my camera with its own OSD, but the MinimOSD is blocking the camera 
OSD.

Can you please allow to change panels (especially the off one) when disarmed 
even if we do have a no gps signal warning or low rssi.

I think when disarmed I can ignore maybe all warning maybe except battery low.

I know I can connect directly to the camera but I don't want to remove 
connections and reconnect.

Thanks:
Shay Sevet.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Send Mavlink Messages containing voltage (in mV as specified by mavlink)
2. look at the osd
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
14.5V is expected but i see 0.14V

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
minimosd-extra 2.2

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. OSD temperature readings with copter FW

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Degrees. It shows degrees time 10 instead.

Reported by Lito P and checked by myself.

Regards,
Miguel

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Fatshark 5,8ghz 250mw tx


changing black level to 10% in the code resolves the issue.

is it possible to add black level adjustment to the code? I can deliver the 
code if needed.

Artificial Horizon dotted line seems to be showing incorrect tilt.
Please see your latest video "OSD test" of 12th Aug uploaded on youtube.

I can switch now between screens. At first I thought that screen 2 isn't 
working.. but reading here gave me idea of active error is not letting me in to 
the screen 2. So that is ok (switching is working perfect).
Noticed that I can't get into the menu (before 60 sec passed and screens are 
changing as suppose to change, but can't get into menu).
I noticed that after 60sec passed I can't get empty screen (only with my active 
error).. latter noticed that actually i get into screen 3 (empty) but seems 
that MinimOSD forgets to clear the screen, all things are in the own area but 
not changing (as was in screen 1 but looking as picture). :)
So there is similar issue as it was with AHI (doesn't erase prev. char). But 
noticed this just after some time after boot (maybe those 60sec passed.. not 
sure).
I am looking forward to fly on Sunday, so this fix would be nice test. 
Will provide video footage :)

Wireless video is not only used by radio amateurs but also by users with CAA 
permits. To be able to put a registration number as callsign, the hyphen is 
required, e.g. OH-XUAV.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run latest r550 for minimosdextra 2.3
2. AMP 2.5
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
being able to toggle screens using CH5.
It used to work for me. now only by Change mode.
what happened to Ch5 3 position switched I used to work with? this feature not 
anymore supported?


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?


Please provide any additional information below..

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. flash using CT for MinimOSD Extra 2.2
2. use MinimOSD Extra Plane 2.2.hex firmware 
3. use OSD_charset.mcm
4. setup APM 2.5 with arduplane 2.7.3 with wiki instructions 
https://code.google.com/p/minimosd-extra/wiki/APM
5. connect and boot up


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected everything to boot up and show data fields selected after firmware 
update in the tool. I expec virtual horizon to look like a line made of dashes.

I see: after booting up I can see virtual horizon respond but no data in any 
other field. Virtual horizon responds, but instead of dashes I see either 
nothing or some gibberish in their place. but everything moves according to APM 
orientation perfectly well. I had the same problem with minimosd (without 
extra) firmware,I saw horizon, gps status and mode but no numeric field like 
speed or heading or altitude.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
    CT for MinimOSD Extra 2.2 tool
        MinimOSD Extra Plane 2.2.hex firmware

Please provide any additional information below.
APM 2.5 with arduplane 2.7.3.

Here is a link to a video I made describing this problem. This is minimosd 
firmware, but the situation is 100% the same. same APM setup, same board, all 
setup according to this wiki.

--> What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.The noise on the video feed goes away when i touch the chips!
2. Tried enabling telemtery in the APM Mission Planner but it doesnt solve the 
problem.
3.

--> What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect to see Data overlay as it showed on the first power up. Subsequent power 
ups it just shows video with no data overlay

--> What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
using V1.1 on the PX4 FMU+IO boards

--> Please provide any additional information below.

An update to my situation. 

I had actually bought two minimosd's and both of them had the same problem. 

So I have sent both of the units to my local hobby shop and they should be 
sending it back to you to check what's the problem with it...  

Actually there is no issue :) 
Just wanted to say that screen switching is working and very well!
Can you add summary data after flight (then landed) on the screen?
Total traveled distance, max altitude/distance/speed and so?
Thanks for doing this small OSD so cool!

Virgis

P.S. if it is implemented already, then sorry. i didn't see this data after 
flight :)

Hi, 

In the summary view, can you please add the time (flight time) the top altitude 
and distance was reached?

Thanks, for your great work.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.install 2.3 pre copter or plane
2.config with ct 2.3 pre panel 2, make a change
3.save panel 2, load panel 2

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
load panel two, but it loads previouse version like the current wasn't saved.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.3 pre, doesn't work, copter or plane....

Please provide any additional information below.

Hi, I made a small patch that allows exporting EEPROM to intel hex file and 
flashing it manually with usbasp-like programmer. It may be helpfull for those 
who doesn't have FTDI cable or have some problems with bootloader.

The OSD works fine. I can change via rc through the 3 screens (1,2,off). When I 
land and take the throttle to 0%, the screen shows a summary of flight-date. 

Is there any possibility to take this off and normal screen (1, 2 or off) is 
shown?

Best regards

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Flown 3 times, 2 times were ok and about 9 minutes. 3rd time the OSD got stuck 
at 7:18 minutes on the 10th "battary low" warning.
I can upload recording but I didn't see any other indication.
When it gets stuck all the information stay and doesn't update.
First 2 flights also had "battary low" warnings and didn't get stuck.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
r596 Copter.

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to enter callsign into setup shorter than six dcharacters ie W1FLY
2. I tried to enter a space or underscore, wasn't allowed
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Callsigns are issued down to 1x1 in US. Granted those are special, still 
possible though.
Callsigns could be formats of
1x2, 2x1, 2x2, 1x3, 2x3...
Most new callsigns are issued in 2x3 format ie KD5SLK....

What version of the product are you using? 
http://arducam-osd.googlecode.com/files/Config_OSD_20.zip

On what operating system?
Windows 7
Please provide any additional information below.

1. After updating to "MinimOSD-Extra Copter 2.2"
2. Connect to APM 2.5
3. MinimOSD gets stuck to "Waiting for MAVLink heartbeats...

Reflashing with the older 2.1 will not help. 2.1 used to work earlier.

The HW version is MinimOSD 1.1

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Flash Mavlink osd v1.0 with MinimOSD-Extra_Plane_Pre-release_2.4_r676.hex 
2.update charset to MinimOSD_2.3.0.8
3. watch it suck.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
normal screen with characters and horizon displaying as expected. what is seen 
instead ar starnge characters appearing on the horizon, and the compass

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
using  CT Tool for MinimOSD Extra 2.3.0.8 Pre Release r676

Please provide any additional information below.

I have tried this on two separate mavlink osd devices and see the same rsults 
on both.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. No OSD text when I plug in a higher res Sony 600TVL camera
2. If I unplug the camera the OSD text appears perfectly with a dark grey 
background
3. I can reproduce this with every version of 2.0+ available, including the 
latest alpha

If I plug in my GoPro everything works fine.

If I regress to MinimOSD_19_MAV10 it works perfectly.

I've attached the specs on the camera.

There appears to be a similar issue posted on the arducam-osd board. Here is 
the link:
http://code.google.com/p/arducam-osd/issues/detail?id=34

I'm happy to test and help to resolve this one.

Thanks,
Preston

Add a message box when selecting the Update Charset menu option, just before 
selecting the file:

"If you power digital and analog sides of minimOSD separately you need them 
both powered so video chip gets the new charset"

It seems that R590 does NOT request the streams from APM itself but relies on 
the user setting the stream rates via APM planner.

That behavior makes just spontaneous FPV-flying impossible as well as basically 
excludes the usage of the OSD for users without laptop and telemetry.

It would be better not to rely on MP but to let the OSD send the stream request 
itself, like in older versions.

It might be posible to measure vtx battery voltage like it is done on minoposd? 
Right now there is no way using APM to measure this, but it sshould be too 
difficult to make voltage divider like:

http://code.google.com/p/minoposd/wiki/FlightBatt

it is an excellent OSD already, and I think this feature is widely used in 
other osd. I remark so far I am very happy with minimosd extra but we always 
want more

Study code/charset memory cost.
Implement a radar mode.
Radar range should be adjustable.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install 2.3 pre copter
2. install latest charset
3. config with ct 2.3 pre

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
should be readable, it is unusable, bad text here and there and some things are 
out of place.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?


Please provide any additional information below.

This is a simple decrease in the size of the charset for the MinimOSD,
very useful for those who want to have letters in smaller size on your
screen. Because the original is too large even to the point of disrupting the 
vision.

you can use this charset as you wish

Djalma

the earlier ver before r701 source code can be compiled correctly,but the news 
version 701 occur error: "Serial.printf_P(PSTR("Ready for Font\n"));"
"OSD_Panels:1067: error: no matching function for call to 
FastSerial::printf_P(prog_char_t*)" why?

I've a little problem. I'll use the minimOSD parallel to 3DR to config the 
copter. I've connected the 3DR with APM 2.0 completly (+-RxTx). At second I've 
connected the minimOSD with (-+Rx) to APM. In Wiki or arducam-osd is described, 
that you havn't connect Tx from minimOSD to APM (Rx), when you use XBEE oder 
3DR parallel.

But I doesn't get any data, when the Tx (OSD) to Rx (APM) isn't connected.

Can I connect 3DR (Rx Tx) and minimOSD (Rx Tx) parallel now? Or could I only 
connect one of the modules?

Best regards

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Flash MinimOSD-Extra_Copter_Pre-release_2.4_r712.hex
2. In CT tool, update charset using MinimOSD_2.3.2.0.mcm
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: CharSet upload ok
Instead: dialog message stating 'Error entering CharSet upload mode - invalid 
data'

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.3.2.0 r712

Please provide any additional information below.
When flashing using CT tool 2.2, everything works as expected.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
My AMP display seems ok at about 15-20A inflight.
The mah usage is raising too slow, after about 3800mah from a 5A battary The 
OSD shows about 150mah used, is this correct?
Am I missing something? I can upload video if needed.
Who is doing this calculation? The OSD or the Flight Controller (APM Arduflyer)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Show about 3500-4000mah

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Copter r596

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I liked leaders in the artifical horizon.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I liked leaders in the artifical horizon. Is it possible to return the leaders 
back? Or to be able to select the type of the horizon based on preference?

Is it possible to add a calculated mah consumed from battery percentage?

if battery capacity is set to 10 000mah in arducopter parameters it should be 
easy to calculate Mah consumed from the percentage remaining.

I use different sizes of battery depending on me wanting to do fast flying or 
just cursing for a ling time. so it's a pain in the ass to have to change this 
all the time or do on-the-fly calculations :p

For example 40% remaining from Mavlink would mean 6000Mah Consumed
20% remaining = 8000Mah consumed
90% = 1000mah consumed
And so on.

I don't have the knowledge on how to do this. But knowing programing in 
general, i know that this would be easy to implement for those that know the 
programming language.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
2.when disable rssi the osd freeze
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
work normal

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

i have to disable warnings and rssi , to work 

Hello, thanks for your work!


Test of r462 and RSSI doesn't work.
Reload the stable version and RSSI works again.

Good day!
Just have tested latest FW 2.1.0, and have found two issues:

1. I can't update new CharSet, that comes with 2.1.0 - there is an error ".... 
:No Data"
2. OSD doesn't start, just only video signal pass through but there is no 
Welcome screen e.t.c.

Hi there,

I'm trying to build the MinimOsd-Extra firmware to add some small changes for a 
friend, but when I try to build it in the Arduino 1.0.1 IDE on Ubuntu 12.10, I 
get a whole lot of errors of the following kind:

In file included from

h:108:32: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘const’


Any ideas what might be causing this? I can do the build on Windows 7 but it 
would be nice to get it working on Ubuntu.

Also, would it be possible to add a wiki page with some build instructions, 
e.g., recommended build tools, platform, setup, etc? For the Arduino IDE I had 
to copy the MinimOsd-Extra directory to ArduCAM_OSD to match the .ino file 
name, so perhaps the Arduino IDE is not what you guys are using?

Cheers, Andrew.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Connect MinimOSD without TX
2.Configure all SR parameters to send data without request according to trouble 
shooting wiki on original MinimOSD (not extra)
3.All is working we get information on OSD
4. Arm Arducopter, result - OSD Gets stuck

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Once armed no data is updated on OSD, what might indicate its the OSD is that 
even the time counter gets stuck.   

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
MinimOSD-extra 2.2 and arducopter 2.9.1

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Wait for 3D fix
2. Go to launch area
3. Arm copter

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Home/Launch position should be reseted as happens with copter firmware.
Current version stores home/launch location when 3D fix acquired

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.
Example of the issue:

Please provide any additional information below.
This is the first time I try this setup, it could be MegapirateNG 3.0.1  which 
is new but another user has reported the same problem, even if MPNG does 
something wrong it shouldn't cause resets.

Is there a way I can help debug? the problem is, this only happens a few 
seconds after takeoff.

This is enhancement suggestion:
Is it possible to show decimals like 0.6m for altitude?
For all flying multicopters alt above the ground is critical. Most of flight 
controllers are using MS5611 pressure sensor with 0.1m resolution. It will be 
great to see decimals of altitude if it is, lets say less then 10m above the 
ground level (home altitude). This range and decimal option can be configurable.

Looks like to enable decimals in alt to be always shown the following changes 
in code need to be done:

In OSD_Panels.ino line 585
    osd.printf("%5.0f%c", (double)(osd_alt_to_home * converth), high);
should be changed to 
    osd.printf("%7.1f%c", (double)(osd_alt_to_home * converth), high);

Having Arduino dev experience I can't proper open and compile the project from 
the sources. 

can someone recompile the code to hex with this changes?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Just displaying AHI won't clear the screen.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
  MinimOSD Extra 2.1.5 Pre Release Version r420.hex

Please provide any additional information below.

Tested with stable version 2.1 and it works OK. Only this r420 has this issue.
THanks for work on this! I really like the way you add things here!

Virgis

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.When I upload the Minimum OSD extra on my RCT OSD board 
2. Even tough it loads and saves fine I get the error (see screen shot)
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to get the OSD to work but it does not, it shows the error in the

Maybe this version does work 100% with older Config software? version 2.1.2.0 
Thanks

Virgis
P.S. We are having very windy weather for few weeks, can't fly :(

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Update to latest arduplane firmware 2.7.4
2.Enable a new mode for selection (ACRO or Cruise)
3.Select the new mode, and the OSD keeps displaying the previous mode.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expect to see actual mode the apm is in, instead seeing previous mode.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
APM 2.7.4

Hi,

Could you please allow the BPS to be configurable in the OSD Config so that 
MinimOSD can talk to APM modules which have been configured to use telemetry 
rates lower than 57600?

I know it's possible to amend #define TELEMETRY_SPEED in the source but for 
some reason I have issues when I compile the source for this project and others 
may well have changed their telemetry rates when using FrSKY and OpenLRS. It 
would be great if MinimOSD-Extra supported this without having to be recompiled.


Thanks,



Neil.

On copter version pre 2.3.0.4 r572 you put a skull to indicate the the armed
