Now you can load firmware or the character set., after each load you will get a confirmation and you will see the minimosd reboot, it will be indicated on both the computer screen and in the overlay.Īt this time set up all the panels and other setting to you liking, there are allot of youtube video on this part.Ĥ, after everything load correctly, no error you will see the standard text showing firmware, you can then unplug the fdti cable and plug in the pixhawk and connect the telem 1 or 2 port according to the correct pins in the minimosd wiki, and pixhawk wikiĥ. To check this I had my monitor running, and you will see the firmware displayed when the fdti cable is connectedģ. this is the important part, after you connected the fdti cable a 12v supply must power the analog video once you do this the board will boot. This is the deceiving part, although you can read from the Minimosd you will notice that if you try and load the charater set from the tools menu or load a new firmware it will fail,Ģ.
Connect FDTI cable to correct Pins on the Minimosd, then you can load one of the gui configurators, both the latest version as of the date of this post worked fine. It was not well documented and figured it was a order of operation error, not a faulty part so I began to dig ġ. If the board doesn't have a solder bridge, you'll need to wire it up as I show below. I can save parameters to the board, and read the correct ones from in the configuration however it will not let me load a hex file from the configuration and give me a error to use Arduino.Īny help on this would be much appreciated. The best Minim OSD variants have a solder bridge that can be used to power the MAX chip over 5v instead of 12v, which is definitely the best way to go, since the MAX chip can easily burn out at anything over 5v. I get the picture coming through but nothing from the osd. (Please excuse the repeated words if any or other issues as I have been nursing a copter eye injury)Īfter connecting Minimosd I do not get any overlay.
