I remember reading a long way back that text borders can have some effect... tonight I'll make the usb adaptor and try link to PCC so I can get things sorted
Btw, when I connect the osd to my pc, will I need to power the osd with the plane vid battery, or will it powerup from the usb? I'm working onsite atm, no access to a pc to read the manual...

re. usb connections - a few posts back - http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showp...ostcount=15767

you may not need flight battery connected, but the osd does need power from somewhere!

Hi DOSD+ support,

"ap disabled" means that you are in autopilot mode and there is no GPS lock

It sounds like your channel assignment is wrong in DOSD and/or in eepe

I have eepe as well. as Throttle defaults to ch3 on the radio perhaps your DOSD is expecting a different channel map. when you boot up the DOSD can you see on screen if it says radio type detected? Futaba is probably what you need unless you want to change the assignments. This is a simple fix if you have USB>TTL and PC commander

in eePe set mix P1>ch5 @ 100% then download it to your radio. this will make the knob on the top left of your radio the mode control

problem solved

thanks a lot MikeTheCrash!
my channel assignment is wrong in DOSD, i expect DOSD did chanel 5 for default chanel for control mode, i have to set it via PC commander "SET ctrchanel 5"

now can access.

only 1 small issue raise. only aileron stick can change menu (left right) , but ELEvator stick cannot move the menu..

any idea?

I think you will have to change your elevator assignment in DOSD as well

thanks bro..
solved..

cause of ch2 radiolink reversed..

thanks mike

It would be nice if data from Dragon Trax could be fed to a laptop and subsequently displayed on the screen a la instrument panel...or perhaps to servos so that "steam guage" instruments could be constructed. This way, the video downlink could be kept clean of scene contaminating simbology.

JBB,

I really think you should be here beside us and helping with us with interface layouts. IMO.

Hey John!
I have no clue what interface layouts are...lols...
But I can try to help you from out here...

PM sent...

PS- I still have an original JMSTech Easystar FPV power bus. I'm sure it'll be worth gozzillions one of these days.

the first time you connect the osd to PCC, how long does it take to "download parameters"... it seems to be taking forever...

It should only take a couple of seconds at most. Power it down and try it again. Make sure you don't have Tx andRx reversed.

I set channels for pan and tilt, but Im not seeing the bars on screen. I think I missed something. Anyone have this set up?
