shikra

Not very often !!

Best to use fpvlab one for support.

shikra

Not sure on R370

Its either on the GUI or config.h

shikra

R370 is kvosd - so prob why your not getting an answer. The current sensor stuff is completely different to MWOSD and I can't remember back that far to help much. Only thing can suggest... make sure using 5v voltage reference if using current sensor. You'll have all sorts of challenges trying to cal...

shikra

Thanks Leo. Apologies for delay - have been away for last week. Font amended in main repository Changes look good to me. What do you think about the fonts for the alphabet in this one. Feedback I have had is that larger numeric / smaller size alphabet is great, but the alphabet fonts could do with c...

shikra

First – good to hear the copter is rebuilt. I have one to do as well. I hate copters sometimes. At least I know the issue – pilot error! OK so good that the upload using config works. Happy with that. I hope also the eeprom clear in there will be of value too. For fonts.. I think there is some misun...

shikra

@neokiller62 - please check the faq. fonts need to be uploaded, but there are some notes to go with it.

good luck

shikra

@leo, today this has been added to maybe assist in working around this bug until find the cause: //#define LOADFONT_DEFAULT // Uncomment to force an upload of default font instead of using GUI //#define LOADFONT_LARGE // Uncomment to force an upload of large font instead of using GUI Its in latest d...

shikra

Duke - yes quite possibly. max chip takes a lot of power. Can tell by how hot it gets.
I think its up to 450ma from memory - but can also depends upon impedance of camera and transmitter it is connected to.

Just have to try it to find out...

shikra

Needs to be powered same way it is when working in copter. Not quite sure from your pic.

edit- looking at your board I think that mod converts it to 5v so should be OK. But think maybe its somehow related. Has to be!

shikra

Is the max chip powered by 12v or vbat?
or is it via 5v (and the jumpers bridged with solder) ?

If its uploading sketch OK and can read / write all other settings it really sounds like something is not right with this.

shikra

For fonts - as its not changing using that sketch, it sounds like something is not right with the OSD - or power. Just doublechecking ... is the OSD board powered by battery instead? rather than 5v? Not having it connected is most common cause of OSD font not updating. You have some weird stuff goin...

shikra

thanks for the ";" ! I'll remove

For fonts...
For those having issues uploading via GUI, have created a sketch that will upload fonts. May look to see if can incorporate this in the main file at some point

Its in "Other" folder" simple instructions in the sketch.

shikra

– thanks for feedback on the GUI –it’s strange – have had one other report of similar issue so maybe there is a bug – or some common windows issue. Glad its solved. - For fonts mmm I wonder if the voltage is dropping low when programming? Maybe when its rebuilt could measure to see if getting a good...

shikra

If using frsky rssi connected to the osd, unplug it.
swap tx/rx wires around on connector going to osd.

All I can think of really

shikra

@ leo. Love Canadians - give me so much entertainment! They haven't hit me yet....

For this issue. I just don't know where to go next. Have looked over the code many times and just can't see the problem area.
At least its the GUI - and I'll keep the working sim method as default unless I can fix it.

shikra

Angryman: Can be many reasons including config of the Naze. FAQ #11 11 The OSD always shows DISARMED and one or more other items do not work This usually means the OSD is not getting information from the Flight Controller Ensure your connections are correct. Especially tx/rx orientation Makes sure y...

shikra

I work for a Canadian company. Work with them every day. I keep calling them Yanks or asking what the weather is like in the US. I have so much fun with them. Its been going on for 15 years and only a handful realise I'm joking with them! Makes me smile every time. This is a long shot but the master...

shikra

Canada? - thats one of the US states yeah?

Been to Ottawa many times although not for a couple of years.

shikra

Ha actually I did wonder if it was because you were French too! Serious -locale issues with France I have seen before. I wonder if forcing the locale to be US might fix? I'll try it for future ones. See if any feedback... I was born in England, lived in Wales all my life and my family is Italian . S...

shikra

OK, thats interesting. I guess will have to make that default. Its not an issue - just makes the simulator less realtime / like a genuine controller. Of more value for me when developing
I have had a look through and can't see why. May never get to the bottom of this one.

shikra

@ Leo - mad some changes to the GUI simulator handling. I cant replicate the issue which makes it difficult to resolve... If you could try the latest compiled gui from release 11 it would be appreciated. Try running it and if it still locks up, edit gui.cfg in data folder and change "Simtype to...

shikra

When osd is connected to the fc, it is able to ready the RC commands from the tx. If the RC channel used for switching OSD layouts is set to a blank one, it maybe that this then selects a different screenlayout which is set to show no data. Set all the HUD - xx values to 0 on top RHS of display and ...

shikra

@ Leo - brill - thanks Also there may be an issue with saving rc and pid on .8 I hope fixed on the latest. i am waiting to get to my garage to test on a copter. @ duke Assuming this isnt a wiring issue, most likely is you have a blank screen layout selected. I can't think of any other cause. I've be...

shikra

Well thats great on teh GUI - although I have no idea why!! I have changed to Java32. maybe a pc reboot on my part or something has amended it in some way. Haven't heard of these issues elsewhere though. Anyway - all good on the GUI. For font - Still working fine here. Just tried swapping again. I a...

shikra

Yeah thanks Leo.

And I'll add that to the list. I looked at them before there are a lot that should be addressed. ALthough many are not applicable in context.
Think I'll start working on those next actually.

shikra

@csurf / rubadub:

This is added in latest test release ( I still haven't been able to test multuiwii 2.4 save yet:
OSD - ability to display pitch and roll angles. Relocatable via layout editor.

shikra

@ leo - I really don't have a clue on your issue...

shikra

@Leo, is your computer cpu hitting 100%? The java/processing app really really sucks, I absolutely hate it. The GUI should really be moved to some other platform. Maybe the existing app could at least be re-organized in order to lighten the processing load. Perhaps it could be turned into a multi-w...

shikra

I have no idea if this works, but I have re-installed 32 bit java on my pc and rebuilt the gui applications. This is what was on there recently and could have had an impact in some way.
You are welcome to try the GUI from this. Need to try both 32 and 64 bit.

https://github.com/ShikOfTheRa/scarab-o ... g/v1.4.2.7

shikra

@leo

for the gui - I have still not got a clue why !!
But it sounds like soem things can be clicked when connected - like font button?

I'm going to change my java version and recompile to see if that works better for you.

shikra

@rubadub - this is quite possible as many changes in that area.... Baseflight and Cleanflight latest versions tested and confirmed.
I haven't been able to test multiwii yet. - should be in next couple of days.

shikra

Yes, confirmed this is bug just introduced in previous. Thanks for highlighting. Fixed on Github and ,waiting for testing: “Although I have 11 satellites they and arrow / distance are not showing up in this state” I can’t replicate this one: “I can no longer click on anything in the GUI” I think I m...

shikra

Thanks Leo.
Thats odd on the GUI! What OS/java version are you using? maybe see if I can try out in work..
I updated my Java and maybe its done something in the compiled released. Doesn't sound like code if yours is working in compiler.

shikra

Haven't seen that with the GUI -
Maybe try the latest GUI from the link above? Or even an earlier 1.4.1 release. I think they are compatible.
Nothing changed that should impact that though, but its the version I am using every day.

shikra

I couldn't replicate - but this is possibly down to how the serial simulator functions.

The code appears to create the scenario as your video shows.

Fix included in latest dev test release here ...
https://github.com/ShikOfTheRa/scarab-osd/releases

shikra

Ah yes - its clearly 9. In the other file it looks like a 3 to me! Maybe bits lost in lower resolution? In that case I can only think of one possibly cause. I notice on the screen you were in flight summary mode, then armed when in that rather than exiting first . Possibly it still thinks its in the...

shikra

@izeman - for current sensor issue I think in cleanflight there is a setting to do with multiwii current. Probably need to check/uncheck - or use the corrector as you indicated above. It may be that over time cleanflight has changed and this needs to be enabled by default now. Could you left me kno...

shikra

I think I see this in my goggles too. Don't notice it in flight though. @izeman - pretty sure that ghosting is a monitor issue. I see it on my cheap one too. Not on good one... it's a dominator v2. i can't compare with other goggles and hope this is no hardware issue. edit: i already set brightness ...

shikra

OK - can see the issue. At arm, sats were 3 - so its the multiwii controller is unable to set home correctly. If you see the distance = 0 all the time - all the OSD does is display what is received. There is no processing / little code for that. So either it's not receiving updates, or its because h...

shikra

@ LEO – am not aware of any direction issue switch arrow indictor. The code is actually very simple – it takes what angle the MultiWii sends and crates pointer from that. One your photos there is a difference, although look like at same place – distance from home is zero on one and 33m on the other....

shikra

@Rubadud
Vario rate – yep its on the roadmap. Quite likely for next release.

Pitch / Roll angles – is quite easy and I think not much memory.
Probably in conjunction with schnupperm’s comments above. Disabled by default.
Most likely not for next release.

shikra

@Schnupperm – updated main trunk: “Default” (current standard at vanilla gui install) “Default large” – yours “Default bold” – current 1.4 large. Maybe more towards more black background / clear contrast. I have found this of some benefit on mini quad fast flying in noisey environment. Brain interpr...

@arrogantduck. For me it was a javapath issue. Affects many programs.

I haven't made any changes to the font upload code and as far as I am aware it uploads at whatever GUI/OSD speed is set. I have had a quick look and can't see anywhere its changing that.
