KV Team Multiwii OSD
Re: SW Development on Minim Osd
Hello,
today i installed KV OSD on my rctimer Mavlink osd. It works but it seems that the font is incorrect. I followed the instructions on the homepage. I upload the Font which is included in the DATA Folder. When i turn on my OSD the horizon bar looks like "ALTALTALTALT". It is not like a line. Also the Voltag display is blinking with an incorrect font. Multiwii is 2.1 ( navigation for fixed wing ) and KV OSD r345. Does anyone have the same issue ? What can i do ?

Re: SW Development on Minim Osd
Well... the same issue again nice... you all need to cheek for information on this thread because most of the times it is here... Anyway, it is not just your fault, I should have added the information on the wiki about that particular piece of good hardware when we figured how to solve that "issue" in first place Will do ASAP.
To solve: Power the 12v side during char map upload also and you will be OK.
Question: why are you using MWii 2.1?
I am sure you understand that you can not have accurate on screen info like altitude etc besides, we are thinking (but... it depends also on your explanation for using in this case MW2.1, I am sure that you are not the only one of course ...) on no longer support older MW devs on newer KVT releases
Have fun and fly safe,
KV

Hi,
Yes it make sense to Power the max Chip during upload the font file. I use the fixed wing Navigation mw Version from PatrikE. This Version is Build from mw 2.1
Greetings and thank for your help.

My fault. The Navigation fixed wing Version is based on mw2.2 ( preversion ). So it should work.

Re: SW Development on Minim Osd
@ Crashlander,
awesome, you are a pioneer and I will add a wiki page for some of user videos as demonstration, I never saw the OSD running on fixed wing and loved to see it
That is why we have a function that (for some gliders that can be lot´s of time in the air) change from minutes to hours at 59:59.

I felt it was necessary thing to have for proper analysis of fixed wing GPS functionality.
In my video you can see that the vario is not working (showing 0 all the time). Any idea how to enable that for fixed wing?

Very good demo OSD on fixed wing
About Vario, yes I saw it's showing fixed zero, for sure this info it's not sent from MWii to OSD when configured as fixed wing, please ask in forum.

I was only enjoying the flight and looking at the heading arrow... did not even noticed that, but like Carlo said it is better to ask on proper topic to fix that "issue".
Re: SW Development on Minim Osd
Hello,
today i did my first flying wing test with the osd. Here is a picture:
The OSD works. But with wrong values Only BAT Value works great. The GPS Values like ALT, Speed and heading arrow doesn´t work. I use an i2c nav board and a mediatek 5hz gps in nmea mode. I don´t use a baro, only a mpu6050 on my wiiboard. I think the gps don´t send the correct values to the i2c nav board. Does it make sense ?

Re: SW Development on Minim Osd
What kind of hardware configuration is that? I am afraid to say that without MAG you will not have Navigation/Heading... besides, I2C GPS is out of my domain so, you will need to ask on a proper topic to find answers...
If the information is wrong, have nothing to do with the OSD firmware, MW is just not sending it correctly or it is not capable to because the GPS code is running on a separated processor achieving the data by I2C maybe limits it to only Navigation and no telemetry capable (just guessing imagining the hardware working...)
But in truth I think that you are missing some hardware also:!:

Hello KV,
i only use a promini 328 with mpu6050. I can´t find any information that heading is only working with MAG
In GUI the Distance and ALT is shown. So i think mw should sending it to the osd. I will ask in other topic.

Re: SW Development on Minim Osd
I have the Minim OSD working well on my 328 based Pro Mini 328 based flight controller.
I am just upgrading the flight controller to an Crius AIOP V2 and I want to use the Minim Osd + a serial GPS on this new flight controller.
My question is that I'm using serial 2 for the GPS and would like to use serial port 1 or 3 for the Minim OSD.
Is this going to be possible and to i need to configure anything different? I would rather use serial 1 or 3 for the Minim instead of serial 0
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Re: SW Development on Minim Osd
Hi,
I have successful display number of amps currently being consumed without soldering any wire to 328p.
Actually, to do this we must renounce RSSI data. I have hitech minima 6 receiver and I can't have rssi so is perfect for me.
I have used ACS755L recycled from Quanum telemetry system, and connected to pin A2 of my PROMINI.
Then in Config.h of multiwii I have use this define
In Multiwii.ino add static uint16_t powerAmp = 0;
and add powerAmp = (powerValue * conf.pint2ma) / 10;
In Serial.ino switch RSSI to AMP
Now on Serial.ino of KV_TEAM_OSD
Happy Fly

Re: SW Development on Minim Osd
OK the most important is to have fun!
But you should consider buy other RX/TX, the RSSI is more important then instant consumption for FPV
Anyway, you have attended your personal needs and have done it well.
Thanks for sharing.
Have fun and fly safe,

Re: SW Development on Minim Osd
Sure you're right and I have planned to switch out from HiTec to other TX/RX because read RSSI from this receivers is not easy.
Alternatively I have go to some HiTec clone like this http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__27175__2_4Ghz_A_FHSS_Compatible_8CH_Receiver_Hitec_Minima_compatible_.html
but I don't trust RX clone.
Currently my flights is 50% very near fpv and 50% normal flights. Seeing youtube videos seems easy (when is another to drive) but when I have the TX on my hand is another things.
Mainly this is the reasons because I don't have RSSI. When will drive on a medium/long range RSSI is surely on my OSD
However...my thanks to all KV TEAM your software is very well made.

Well, after the entire weekend around the GUI code, must say that I really need to sleep but not before stopping here to share what will be the GUI of the KV Team 2.2 release.
Hope you like it, take a look at all the new options you will have on the OSD. Also new pages to better customize your screen were added by Carlonb, and more stuff you will see on changes doc.

Hello,
I like the osd very much. But my ALT is shown in MSL and is at start 113m. Now i saw in some Videos there is another ALT displayed in the left side with 0 on Start. How can i Show this alt with r345 Version ?

Thanks for the info. I have read the thread and Delta 8 receiver seems similar to HK receiver.
So before change my Transmitter, I will try one of this : http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/stor ... ible_.html

Hi Kayle,
yes you need to have a baro installed, that´s how Multiwii acquires/reads your altitude and consequently send the data to the OSD.

Re: SW Development on Minim Osd
I have a MW Mega board with a Serial GPS on COM2 and the MinimOSD on COM4. Both work, just not together. If I boot up with both connected the OSD works but the GPS will not get a lock. If I disconnect the OSD and boot the GPS gets a lock. After the GPS has a lock, if I connect the OSD, all works fine. How do I get them to work without having to disconnect the OSD first?
Re: SW Development on Minim Osd
Not sure why you have this problem but you could try to delay initializing the serial port by simply adding a delay in startup() of your minimosd.
Code: Select all
void setup()
{
Delay(2000);
Serial.begin(115200);
//---- override UBRR with MWC settings
uint8_t h = ((F_CPU / 4 / (115200) -1) / 2) >> 8;
uint8_t l = ((F_CPU / 4 / (115200) -1) / 2);
UCSR0A |= (1<<U2X0); UBRR0H = h; UBRR0L = l;
//---
Serial.flush();
//PWM RSSI
pinMode(PwmRssiPin, INPUT);
//Led output
pinMode(7,OUTPUT);
.
.

Re: SW Development on Minim Osd
Dear kataventos, the job you are doing is each time better, great job!!!
Today I have tested your latest dev version ( Revision: aaeb1f8a8e2f ) and I've found a big issue: the init screen remains too much time (almost one minute), and then, the time counter goes very slow.
I had set the PWM RSSI switch to "on" ¿Could be the pulseIn function the problem?

Re: SW Development on Minim Osd
Hi rortega,
that is what happens by sneaking out on the repo...
There is an issue with the PWM when no signal is connected to the board, but just that... everything else is OK
EEPROM addresses changed a lot with the new switches so, I advice you to clear the EEPROM and reinstall r345 until the new official release (or to use that one without PWM for now).
On these next weeks I will be with lot´s of professional work so, it will take a little bit more to the new release. Ross is also with almost no time on last weeks and it´s just me and Carlo on the code (with less time also at the moment). That is why it was me changing the GUI (normally Ross is the GUI Guru) but I think my work is also OK with the new functions and look

Re: SW Development on Minim Osd
Hi Kata,
My 2nd minim board (rctimer version) worked okay at home, but it's malfunctioning now when I did flight test this morning, still dont know why . The board is not able to work or connect to FTDI now, just only red led is lighted. Luckily I have one spare board. I guess sth is wrong with 11.1v input (VIDEO in line) & 5v input or the overheating issue (I powered on the copter for some minutes but still not fly).
Your setup guide recommends to do 5v modification, where can I find that modification guide? Tks!

The RC-Timer has a switching regulator and should not have the overheating problem. It is not possible to do the 5v mod on the RC-Timer model AFAIK.
BUT my rctimer did burn within the hour. I got a new one from them for free, been testing it and seems OK. Have not dared to fly with it yet.

Hi Rortega,
hehehe what you have there is the best FPV semi professional for AP/AV ever made.....
I even sold my hexa lol... Well, like I said before please be patient let me just concentrate on my work until the school year ends, I have lots of students and lot´s of work to do.
I will inclusive (later not now and not on this topic) send you some pics/mods I did to my frame to get even better results with a lighter and better looking frame, maybe you will like to mod it as well
Also waiting for the brushless gimbal and very angry because I don´t even have time to mount it and fly now...
I also intend to fly with it ON (Gimbal) using the OSD instrument´s (AH mostly) no secondary camera That will be a lot of training and tuning the gimbal end points and PID´s to obtain the best results in every way...
Cheers my friend,
