Re: mobiDrone nano arduino OSD for MultiWii with PID config

I would just prefer the entire voltage readout is the same size, the decimal number sometimes is more important than the integer

I run 4s packs so in a flight the voltage goes from a max of 16.8, and I want to land with voltage over 15.2

Seeing the decimal number is more

Re: Altitude Hold improvement solution

getting back to the revised alt hold without RTH....

Is this likely to be added to the next release?

If not is it at a point where it can be easily added as a patch by those of use a little less knowledgable

Re: mobiDrone nano arduino OSD for MultiWii with PID config

Thanks shikra I have since made a lead to get +ve and gnd from the Rx and was much better. I am about to do a complete re-build of my tricopter, new looms etc and will re-do the gnd wiring entirely I do in effect have a gnd to the camera as i run a coax video cable from the OSD board to the camera l...

Re: mobiDrone nano arduino OSD for MultiWii with PID config

I am connecting v+ and Gnd to the serial connector on the FC board,

I cant see its interference as the OSD is as far away from all the other electronics as it can get

What would be a better Gnd?

And what is the required voltage range?

Re: mobiDrone nano arduino OSD for MultiWii with PID config

Hi, I think it is a problem with resolution detection algorithm. This problem occurs if vertical resolution isnt detected properly. Could you try first turn on multiwii & osd and subsequently camera? I can improve this algorithm but I need a tester with a similar problem. Ok I tried powering up...

Hi Michal I have a problem with my mobidrone OSD: Bat2 doesnt seem to work I run 4S packs (max 16.4 volts), I have run the voltage sense wire to the +Ve section of my power bus. In the OSD display I first got 13.4V, I went into the OSD setup and changed bat2 to read 16.4 with a new pack installed. B...

Re: GPS integration

Is there a list somewhere of "working" I2C GPS modules. Ones that once configured stay that way,and operate with v2.1 software?

Or better still are PlugNPlay as such?

Re: mobiDrone nano arduino OSD for MultiWii with PID config

I have it working now

I cleared the eeprom on the FC, reloaded the arduino sketch, reset all the PIDs and now it works

So I guess the FC eeprom had something corrupted somewhere

Re: mobiDrone nano arduino OSD for MultiWii with PID config

When I make the above change and power up the FC/OSD i get the "MOBIDRONE" line of text as then OSD starts, then i get a quick flash of a menu screen (less than a second) then the OSD screen comes on

I would guess this means the OSD thinks the FC is armed when its not

No matter what I try I cannot get the OSD to open the menu. I really need an answer to this as I need to re-calibrate the Batt2 voltage display, on a full 4S pack it shows a voltage of 13.8 (it should be 16.8) I dont care about the PID adjustments, but i do need to fix the Batt display otherwise thi...

Using release 7 final, do I need to uncomment anything in V2.1 to enable the feedback to the OSD or does it do all the polling for data itself?

Re: playing with acc-z altitude hold

Thats what i thought, but the problem is on two boards the same and nothing is moved or altered - just the powerswitch of the transmitter. If it was an electrical problem, it would have persisted, or randomly occured during operation. But that is not the case. Once started TX/RX without baro distur...

Re: MultiWiiConf 2.1 OS X: Crash when closing COM Port

even if you open the port for a while

you can do a complete setup, calibrations read/write etc and its all stable

Close the program and its good

but close the port first and it crashes
