Can someone help me with a symbol on the dispay?
Its the one in the middle showing 100%. Im not sure what it is and how to turn it off. Sorry its rather a basic question.

The Icon in Thema middle stands for rssi.
Unfortunatly i dont know how Tor disable it. Perhaps in the osd configuration menu?

Yes, in the middle is RSSI icon and you can disable entering in OSD menu page 4 and set it to OFF.

Regarding RSSI, the FrSKY offers RSSI on pin2 as PWM. Do i have to filter it out through R-C filter or it accepts PWM directly?
Found a tool to calculate RC filter here http://sim.okawa-denshi.jp/en/CRlowkeisan.htm

Thanks its gone now! I dont have a RSSI on my Dx6i :( but when I get a system that does, I'll give it a try.

With the battery alarm i'm using a 3s LiPo and I set the alarm level at 255 x 9.75/12.4 = ~ 200? but if I do this , the battery symbol still flashed. Is there a fomulae for battery alarm level? and how 255 relates to the actual voltage as reported by the MultiWii FC?

OK. That is the reason why i get strange values for the rssi with my frsky. Tranmitter on rssi = 0 transmitter off rssi = ~90

EDIT: here is a frsky rssi buffer someone has built. Will it work with this filter? http://rayvenn.alnet.com.ua/2011/06/frsky-rssi-buffer/

what hardware are you using, Minim or original Rusduino ?
If you have Minim OSD:
What are the values of your added divider resistors ?
What analogic input pin have you connected ?
Is the analogic part of program enabled ?

Hi Carlo, Thanks I'm using Minim, and Vbat is coming from the MultiWill FC. Its displaying the correct voltage from the MultiWii FC.

Its just that Vbat is flashing on the Minim dispay similar to this video.

http://vimeo.com/52278772

(if I set the alarm level using the Minim menu from 255 right down low it stops flashing).

Vbat info is coming from the FC, I just want it to flash on low voltage or display low voltage alarm from the FC?

Do you still need to know values or divider resistors on the FC (they are R1 is 3.3k and R2 5.1k but this is on the FC)

Thanks very much for your help

mmmmm... very strange, I'm running it in the same way but without problems.
Have you tried to reload again the sketch ?

It is weird that you see 112.2V before the battery symbol shows up.
Please verify that the voltage seen on MultiWiiConf and on the OSD is the same (and is correct).
Voltage threshold is still displayed without the decimal point. Set it to 105 for 10.5V (or 3.5V/Cell on 3S battery).

Thanks itain and carlonb,

The video i just found on Vimeo (its not mine) was just to demonstrate the flashing symbol - I thought 255 was some sort of Hex / Binary representation of full scale! - Oh its just the voltage without the decimal place!! - I will have a go and set at 105!

After looking at the posts on the over heating problem of the linear regulator on Minim Osd I established that my video camera was quite OK down to 7 volt supply and so on a 3s battery I'm using, I'm supplying the Minim Osd 12 volt line via 4 series diodes to reduce the supply voltage by ~2.5 volts at this voltage (~9.5Volts) the Minim Osd doesn't seem to be excessively hot.

Hi Dramida,
please try to find answers on this linkhttp://code.google.com/p/rush-osd-development/wiki/MinimOSD_Basic_Setup, that will solve at least half of your problems.

About the other half, climbing reversed... :o I must confess that it is a surprise. Will look ASAP.

Cheers,
KV

PS: To all,

things are getting together, please try to find your answers on the repository first. Thanks

So is something changed in Multiwii code since v1247? I did not have reversed Baro and armed was shown (the crappy video: http://youtu.be/ayxhRc5IrsE). It was Rushduino 2.1 and MultiWii dev1247.

Thanks for everyone's help so far - Battery voltage is all sorted.

I made a short video of the display now.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJN6poq4lXE

Up down arrows seem correct.

I have only two questions I cant find the answer to.

1. MultiWii Gui Altitude is in Metres - Ive changed Minim Osd sketch to feet but it seems to still be showing values in Metres according to some tests I did ?

2. GPS distance to home seems to be garbled but OK in the MultiWill Gui - Any ideas (im running MultiWii R1316)

EDIT - Ive turned GPS off on Minim - Distance to home looks fine now but still apprectiate any ideas why yhe feet display appears to be giving values in metres?

Made another test flight using Minim Osd

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfbQI_xV9Fw

1 At 45 secs into the video GPS data still seems to be garbled except for number number of sats -
I took the quad / laptop for a walk and all seems fine on the MultiWii Gui - distance home etc
MultiWii R1316 (GPS Flytron Navigatron) using MTK binary 19 in MultiWii Sketch ?

2 Display is still saying ft but data is in Metres. Is this easy to change feet when MultiWii Gui is in metres?

Has anyone else got Minim OSD showing correct GPS data and Alt Value in feet?

Hi realpastaman,
please tell me exactly wich version of OSD sketch you have installed.
I never used Imperial units in fly tests, have you tried with metric units ?

Seems i have same behaviour like previous posted by realpastaman:

-the home distance is a total mess (top right corner of osd)
-the "armed" state is not captured, all flight is shown as "disarmed"
- units are shown in meters but the simbols near are "ft"

RUSH_KV_2.1
MultiWii R1316 (GPS Flytron Navigatron) using MTK binary 19 in MultiWii Sketch

Re Imperial /metric I was thinking that RUSH_KV_2.1 would do the conversion? since (MultiWii is Metric). If its not designed to to that maybe it could be a future dev? I just saw it on the display as an option and prefer feet for altitude.

Distance to home: Which OSD version are you using?
Armed not shown: May be you need change some value in config at #define ARMEDMODE if you have 32 try with 16 (this is related to your MWii configuration, in the future this will be automatically detected ;) )

Hi pastaman,
For sure Minim OSD will do all unit conversions, the next release will do all that.
In your actual version 2.1 the altitude it's not converted, is only shown the symbol "ft", about distance to home there is a bug and we are investgating on it.

Thanks Carlo I look forward to trying when the bug is fixed (thanks all your hard work). Next we have to give Minim a voice? LOL :) When I did my test yesterday I recorded my buddy with his "talking barbie"

Thanks for pointing the #define armedmode value of 16 or 32, i'll test it tomorow.
I am using Rush_KV_2_1 downloaded from here http://code.google.com/p/rush-osd-devel ... loads/list
I hope we will get rid of Home distance bug as soon as possible.

Rssi via serial protocol done.

I do not post the patch here because it will work only with next KV Team release, besides, I sent the code to Alex for MSP approval and eventual implementation.
It will be available for Mega boards only, on A3.

Hi all,

good news, the code was approved by Alex and is already committed on Multiwii_Shared branch ;)

Just wait for next KV Team release to use it properly !

Cheers,
KV

PS: Start working on that PWM filter for FRSky RX, easy thing to do with a resistor and a capacitor (e.g) 1k and 220uf cap. (not tested just an example).

It is amazing the way this project is progressing. Thank you for all your dedication, developers. I checked some of the beta stuff and it's great and it's updated every hour:).
I have a question about the hardware. Do yo have your Minim running kind of hot, especially the MAX7456? Is heatshrinking it going to be too bad for the heat exchange?

Hi folks, as fpv regulations are still to evolve, i think we shoud put an identification field on the OSD, like cars have.

More than that, an start-up, along with te beautiful Logo, I want to put my own website for technical support for my clients.

Hello ...

I would like to connect a current-sensor from Flytron at my MinimOSD. The Harwaremod is finished. Voltage from the flight battery and video battery are shown correctly. I only have problems with the display of Amps...

I have this sensor:
http://www.flytron.com/osd-headtrackers/58-ultralight-50ah-current-sensor.html

The sensor values ​​are linear - 10A correspond to 1V - 5V correspond to 50A ...

the following ratio is set in the config.h:

Code: Select all

# define AMPDIVISION 36 / / current sensor hardware division ratio
# define AMPERAGE_CAL 1.05 / / Amperage calibration
# define AMPRERAGE_OFFSET 0 / / Amperage = AMPRERAGE_OFFSET - read analog AMPERAGE_CAL * / 10:23


I don't need a offset voltage for this sensor, so I changed this in the "rush_kv_2_1.ino" :

Code: Select all

amperage = (AMPRERAGE_OFFSET - (analogRead(amperagePin)*AMPERAGE_CAL))/10.23;

to this:

Code: Select all

amperage = (analog read (amperagePin) * AMPERAGE_CAL) / 10.23;


This works - but unfortunately only up to 10A. Once the current is above 10.4A only 10.4A is displayed. Once the power is restored under 10A the current is diplayed correctly again.

Please help...

Hi nenno,

if your sensor gives 5V by 50A, so the analogread input must give 1023.
The voltage step is Vref/1023, if Vref is 5V so the step is by 5/1023 = 0.005V

Your formula should be : ((Vref/1023)*analogRead)*10 , change that in the code

you will have 50A reading: ((5/1023)*1023)*10
If you have 10A, analogread gives 1V/0.005 = 200
Measure exactly the voltage of your power supply ( 4,9 ... 5,1) and adjust then the Vref accordingly.

The formula is not the problem...
The arduino is setup to 'internal Voltage reference ' (thanks to "Helium" from the fpv-community.de Forum)
The reference Voltage is 1,1V...

DEFAULT: the default analog reference of 5 volts (on 5V Arduino boards) or 3.3 volts (on 3.3V Arduino boards)
INTERNAL: an built-in reference, equal to 1.1 volts on the ATmega168 or ATmega328


rush_kv_2_1.ino:

Code: Select all

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(SERIAL_SPEED);
  Serial.flush();
  pinMode(BST,OUTPUT);
  MAX7456Setup();
  readEEPROM();
  analogReference(INTERNAL);
}


Can I change this without issues???

@ nenno

try to comment analogReference(INTERNAL) , tie AREF to 5V (I suppose your board is supplied with 5V) and change the code like the previous post.
Nothing can break, if it's not working , take the old config anew.

Hi,

new release as soon as the work we are doing is ready.
At this moment is premature to talk about a date for the next release, but one thing I´m sure, you will enjoy flying with it ;)

@ Nenno - thought I had already posted, but I guess I didn't click...
anothe roption is to change line to:
analogReference(DEFAULT);

Any analog voltages on the board you use will need a different multiplier.

This caught me out for ages last year...

There was a suggestion to add an optional "personal logo" in the form of two adjacent characters (total 24x18 pixels). Each pixel can be white, black or transparent. Would it be good enough, or would you prefer a textual logo?

I'm using a security2000 camera that has the option to add a camera id in the form of a short text in a selectable location. I know this features exist on only few camera models.

Thank you.

I don't know of any plans for supporting that in a formal version.
As a quick fix, you could edit the file Screen.ino and add whatever you want to display to the function displayIntro.
Line length is 30 characters or less. Use only characters from the font (no lower-case characters!)

Re: SW Development on Minim Osd

Post by kataventos »

Hi all,

I will send to Liam (that take care of the wiki and documentation) all the information on how to edit properly the entire character map.

This way, everyone who want´s to spend some time around it, and creat new Logo will know what to do, and of course to help us to improve some chars.

Everyone that have a good work on that matter can send me the mcm file, and we will eventually pack it with new releases ;)

Good work to all.

Cheers,
KV


Edit: of course some of the good looking character maps will be available for download on the repository, even if they are not KV Team default.

i have the 3d robotic minim osd (pink) to read the battery voltage on the screen do i have to solder the resistances as on the hobby king minomosd or the is an other way

I do not reccomend that mod anymore because you can have it with much clean mod using the Multiwii VBat, and now the RSSI is available either if you have a Mega board.

Anyway :

I made this mod you see on the picture, but I do not use it anymore, do not reccomend it either if you are not used to solder small stuff. Your soldering Iron should be 20W max, and you should not give heat for long.

Edit: But you are having problems with Altitude... what is the date of that version that you hacked, do you remember?
That have been fixed some time ago!

Cheers KV - yep I like your charmap best of all of them. Had to swap a few bit around cos some bits have moved. I do like Dennis Frie Characters too.Might try them out one day.
I fixed the OSD after too. I forgot I had some spare max chips so I replaced. Very happy.

Tonight I'll download the latest ver and migrate to yours from now on. Much more goodies, better and want to try out the faster AHI, but I'll still swap a few things around like the flytime! And the logo!! My resistor ladder doesn't match the current code either - might want to consider the earlier posts about using default reference.

But why no-one posting videos yet?? I am so surprised.

How did you tooked the MAX7456 Chip from OSD and soldered another one?

Do you have pictures of that Work? I have a Minim that is on the box because I accidently (when was testing the voltage mod) touched with the voltage wire on 12v! Now the ATmel works, I do not have ADC anymore and start´s heating a bunch in a few minutes :( So I still dont know the best way to change the ATmel...

Video battery voltage mod:

also uncomment:

Code: Select all

#define VIDVOLTAGE_VBAT

Next time I will show how to connect temperature sensor.

Kataventos do you know how to delete all characters from OSD? I need only oryginal video from osd without characters. How to do that?
