PIXHAWK / APM OSD

[Shikra]

Anyone using PIXHAWK/APM with a minim osd that could do some testing for me???

I have added support for it into MWOSD, but I don't have / use either. Struggling for testers. Have one and its now working for him.

As a bonus - brings in a bit more functionality than the standard minim software

Cheers!

I am, what do you need?  :)

Blimey . That was quick!!



Are you familiar with / do you have arduino installed to upload? if not I'll have to compile a hex


If you do,
Software is here:

Click on download, then zip.
The code for OSD is in MW_OSD folder.
Have to select APM or PIXHAWK in config.h before uploading.

Then can use the GUI to connect and upload fonts / configure. Note default GUI speed is 115k - for mavlink it is 57.6k so need to change GUI to support.
Also for APM/PIXHAWK I think usually voltages, amps, RSSI have to be set to use FC in GUI (Flight Controller)

Happy to test too - all my platforms use Pix + (Micro)minim OSDs :)

I pulled the master a few days ago (Noticed that the latest comment was something about mavlink), is this current enough or do you want me to download again?

[Shikra]

Download today's. Have made a small change which hopefully makes the serial speed a bit more compatible with all the various FC's out there. It was the last outstanding issue found with mavlink support.

Thanks guys

Will do :)

Will let you know how I get on, I hope it works well. Sick of Arducam/minim extra crashing on takeoff for no apparent reason.

Now you can get sick of mine!!

Actually - be interested in the comparison - likes / dislike etc.

A bullet point guide...

Never had time yesterday, but if its stops the OSD from crashing out that would be awesome!
