you can buy it here : http://qcrc.ca/shop/index.php?main_page ... ucts_id=27
for the V2 no problem it is because the OSD have a "special" data link.
The next version is really a MUST HAVE for multiwii users. There is a lot a new functions, a new design, a lot of indicator.
We just have to finish the tests ...

please do not copy and duplicate the code - use the output from MultiWii instead. That way you do not even have to dig your way through the innards of the implementation.

Hamburger, I strongly agree with you, I absolutly need to take data from multiwii. I only need real time current ( in Amps ) estimation, and the rest is already coded, that way, in the OSD you will be able to choose if OSD take current from a current sensor or the multiwii...the rest is already done and working here.

What is the variable that represent current into the multwii code ?

Thanks for letting me know :) I hope shipping to the UK is ok, I shall order after work ( using phone for Internet at the moment )

I will probably need to ask some questions once I have the OSD though

Here is the file that document HOW to upgrade your OSD to the new character map.

DONT DO IT NOW, because its useless, V8 is not released yet.

This PDF is to show you how...simply...it will be easier for you later ;)

Just tried buying, but when I went to confirm the order and pay its showing as out of stock. I really dont want to go on backorder, can you indicate when you will have stock and I will buy straight away :)

I'm sorry for that, its true, I no longer have stock, but I should receive new stock really fast ( like 5-7 days ). I hope its not really a problem to wait a bit ;)

HI
I have a big trouble !!!
I make a board using Arduino Pro Mini (328) and MAX7456 conected at SPI but after load the software (V4) I don't see OSD (OSD is not conected with multiWii board).
For testing is necesary to conect multiwii board ?

Please help me !

OSD should display text on the screen, even without communication with the multiwii board. For shure, you will not be able to control anything with your radio that way, but thats not your main problem now.

There is really nothing special between the atmega328P and the max7456, but the SPI pin !CS on the max7456 have to be connected to the right pin on the arduino board. its described in one of the rushduinosd code file.

I have no idea how your hardware is made, so I cant help you.

But, the software is explicit enough, PAL and NTSC are supported

Why are you using V4 ?

HI JohnyGab
I use V4 only for testing.
In this moment I use only a breadboard with Rduino ProMini328 and an homemade shield for MAX7456.
The shield is transparent for video signal for a few second (arbitrary 10-30s) and after the screen is gray.
If I press reset buton from arduino the video signal apear again.
I'm confused ! Shure, I make a mistake but ... I not understand wich is it !

JohnyGab,
I've jush watched your video with V8 beta preview (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nV95Fc07ykA)
wow, It's very-very cool! I learned some OSD based on MAX 7456 and 'll choose the Rushdoino OSD because it's open project.
hardware part won't be a problem so I'll try to use OSD soon.
Hope you 'll keep support your project later...

Thank you.

Thanks
Actualy, we are 2 working on the V8 that will come soon, Its almost done, but once it will go out, you will all like it
lot of new things...and nice graphic as you can see.

For support, it should not be a problem, i'm in Rc/FPV since 2007 when i saw first Vrflyer videos, for those who dont know who he is, he was probably the first pioneer in that hobby. I love so much electronics, and Rc, I will continu in that for long time.

I should receive some new OSD this week, Its a shame that they are BO now.

For the software, as this time I really dont want to release something not mature, I want to test everything.
Actually, it look like its ok, but the only thing I did not had the time to test is the GPS functinallity. As you may know, i'm in Canada, Quebec, and its spring time here, lots of....all, snow, wind...rain....-10C,....next day, 10C with wind....Its hard to test RTH with those factore, hopefully i'll be able to make all the test soon.

For the hardware, I received some hardware today :) ....and ...not only OSD pcbs ;) I need to assemble a couple of them, and they will be back in stock

Version 1.2 Is home right now, but need to be assembled, I should receive parts today or monday for it.

There is some minor modification that make the product more mature :
-Slightly better labeling
-4 pin connector for communication with mutlwii can now use a 4 cable ribon ( straigh ), as order of the pin are make more sens now
-Better Rc filter for RSSI
-Better input for voltage monitoring/current sensing
-Embeded temperature sensor -40Deg C to 125Deg C ( this as nice thing to display to the screen, useless but nice )
-Header for external temperature sensor, to monitor one ESC or your lipo temperature
-Capacity of changing the smd LED for a thrue hole Led ( remote mounting, if you want )
-Possibility of using a surface mount crystal for the MAx7456
-Because people pass there time to remove header I solder, I will no longer solder header ( but still provide them ), header hole are placed in zigzag, so it will be easyer to add them ( they hold there by there self while soldering )


Thats about I think

Software :
-Altitude displayed is now in meter or foot, I will remain that, but for the meter value, it will have a decimal value also ( instead of 5meter, you will see 5.0meter
-I will make final verification on GPS functionality this week end, and add some of the code that bledi did ;) and release the code!

First i need to apologize for that long delay.
My soon had the hand foot and miuth disease two week ago, and, yes , as weird as it is, he gave it to me. Yes, i'been infected by a child infectious desease! I had the first symptom last tuesday, 41deg F of feever and big big headache and raches everywhere. I was absent of my day job from wenesday to today. Because of that i was completely absent of the map.

Last monday, i had time to assemble 1 board of v1.2 adn, putting new v8 in it pointed out a bug introduced in v6. Since the coice of narrow and wide is in eeprom, value of that variable as to be 1 or 0, but there was nothing in the code to pre-set that to 0 or 1 so when the value was not that, textes and value on the screen was all placed at the top left of the screen. For those who experienced that bug, thats the reason. I'll solve that for the V8

For the moment, V8 as not been tested as I wanted, that why tonight, or tomorow, i'll put on the google code place what i all a pre-v8 version, its a non Gps fully tested version of the code. This is an advice, the code work well, but I'm asking you to describe me every bug you can find, not here, because it can be a mess, one simple email to bugreport@qcrc.ca ( will be available at the same time of v8 ) with the title "I found a bug - osd" . And email with the description of your setup and the bug you see. After one week, i'll make a liste and solve those.

For the hardware part, i have passed 3 complete day in my bed and one night at the hospital, now i'm fine. Tonight and tomorow, a freind of mine will help me to assemble 50 osd, so by the end of the week, they will be replacing v1.2 .

For those who want to know news things : after i will have done all osd i can, i'll show you 2 new products, one that is already working ( a really niçe Gps ) and one that still need modification ( a current sensor....a frendky looking one ! )

HI,
Thanks for V8, I think it is going to be excellent.

I am having some trouble though. My OSD is flickering and I get some GPS stuff coming up (although I have no GPS). Also, when I increase the throttle I am seeing the flight mode change from level to acro and other seemingly random things happening. I cannot seem to enter the menus.

I thought at first it was baud rate but I am currently using V2.0 of MultiWii and that is on 115200.

Can you please confirm that no modifications to the MultiWii code are required in order to connect the OSD.

Your help would be very much appreciated as I am so close ...

Can you give a date when you will be shipping the OSD out? I will have to start a paypal claim to get my money back otherwise. There isnt a link on your website to make contact, so I have to ask on a forum. It's not good taking money and then being very slow to ship out the product, I only placed the order as you stated it would be within the next week that the v1.2 would be ready

It look like the modification in the multiwii code is not good, and OSD in wrongly interpreting strings, can you confirm that the mutlwii firmware you are using have been modified to use the modification submited in the end of serial.h ?

Ok, sorry of my last post.

At the end of the serial file in the Rushduino project, there is some text in comme, O, Y and Z string, you need to put them into the serial of the multiwii firmware ( replace O and add the Y and Z ) this should work well ;)

All osd are now assembled, I need to put firmware and caracter map in them, they will be out in the begining of the next week.

Again, I'm really sorry for that delay, I've been really sick like I said, that putted me in trouble by adding 1 week delay on all that. If you want, I can refund you right now. I understand the delay was long, I tough it was clearly described in the product, maybe I should have make it more precise.
