Ah, the joy of sailplanes + thermals. We could add this, but probably with a setting, to avoid disturbing the existing behavior. In the interim, I wonder if you could "lie" and give a little down-elevator during the "neutral" phase of the Servo Analysis Wizard. This would have some effect on level flight since you're using the Guardian, but the effect might not be particularly significant over the short term.

I PMd you a short video of the distance with an asterisk instead of the max distance. It's from version 10.04.

If you can add the down elevator as an option it would be great. This was an unusual thermal and it took full down elevator to get out. The next time I run the wizard I'll try a little down elevator but I agree I don't think it will do much.

I'm ready to buy an OSD and it's been a toss up between Eagle Tree OSD Pro and RVOSD. BOTH are not available to purchase at the moment... so the first one to make it available gets my sale

I don't want to be a bad mouth... but let me tell you that my brother bought a RVOSD 5 and even after numerous bad barometric chip on the board, they sent him a bad one, so he had to send it back and email and email numerous time to get an answer, we are still waiting for his replacement, i am very impressed with the things RVOSD can do BUT not with the after sale service, check it up, check the v bulletin on there web site and see for yourself, months of waiting when you get a defective OSD is a no go for me.

I have a complete ET OSD Pro and guardian, it is more wires and more tweaking but i LOVE it. Also you get the BEST after sale service from them all and that plays a big role in sales i am sure.

just my opinion anyway ;-)

I have little to no experience with other OSD's. I can tell you though, that I love the Guardian.

Setting up the OSD PRO wasn't real easy for me, I had to work through some issues with the pulse width detection (failsafe) at first, but now it's set up right, and I love it.

If you spend some time with the manual, it will save you some frustration.

I have both the Eagletree+OSDPro+Guardian+Airspeed+Baro and I have a FY21AP-II+AP117OSD

What I like about the Eagletree: Airspeed sensor
What I like about the FY21AP-II: Auto circle mode and 5 min setup.

What I don't like about the Eagletree: No auto circle mode, complicated setup and PC required for setup
What I don't like about the FY21AP-II: No Airspeed indicator.

I had the same dilemma a few years back.
My decision was based on 2 questions.
1) Atenna tracker more important
2) full autopilot more important.

Hardly any news on the RVOSD antenna tracker.
And ETOSD promissed auto-pilot way points. (plus Return to Home was already implemented).

At the time ETOSD was the no brainer. Specially that it has extra addons like pitot, etc..
And Bill says were not too far off from the Waypoint sequencer now.

you can always try both!

I have ET OSD, complete setup with Guardian, EagleEyes, baro etc. I am very happy with it, but wish ET would learn from other OSD.

I want to stick to ET for its great community. But I would also want:
- 2 independant ailerons stabilisation so I can fpv with full house gliders without loosing Crow hability.
- A true radar with plane PoV like competition, more accurate home arrow etc.
- Smoother graphics
- A filtered 5V & 12V power.

All this could fit in a new Osd pro module (please, not another module) The current one has never been updated.

Cheers.

Maybe, my issue is caused by the way I'm powering the OSD.
Previously, the 12V for my camera + VTx was routed through the OSD (left picture).
Meanwhile I changed this not to route the +12V through it.
Testing yesterday showed a huge difference: 8 1/2 minutes testflight without any issue.

Additionally, I'll connect one AUX-channel to my receiver to power the OSD with +5V (picture on the right side).

What do you think?
Could that be the reason for the OSD to restart?
(I never read, that the OSD itself has to be powered, since it's connected to the eLogger. And the elogger has the Y-throttle-harness for 6s-batteries..?!)

Hugeone, please let me know if you can reproduce the problem without that switch.

Flew without the switch everything was perfect, image in the AIO was stable even in darkness. The switch was the culprit all along. I tried my WDR600 without switch and it still does, that's why I ruled out the switch when I first tried.

Also I noted the image quality to be better without the switch, so for the record the flytron switch is garbage.

As long as there is no electrical short on the board that should not be a problem.

Weidi,
I had this issue. I thought the same thing about power to the OSD from the eLogger. I am powering my OSD from one battery and the eLogger through the current sensor. What I observed is that if I only power the OSD, the eLogger will start up but hang (and vice versa, power eLogger not the OSD). To fix the problem, both batteries need to be connected (eLogger and OSD powered) and in my case, everything works perfectly, never a problem. As soon as things start going crazy, I usually discover only one battery is connected. YMMV (Your mileage may vary)

do you have routed the vid-minus also through the osd? then you had build up ground-loop ... bad emv situation. may cause a malfunction in the osd.

Let's say I do go with eagle tree, can I copy settings from another easy star user to avoid the complicated setup?

I like eagle osd pro features but the complication is concerning for me since I don't have much time on my hands (wife + soon to be born)

Hi All!
I`m find some interesting on 10.04 - if I run servo wizard via PC - RSSI don`t working - always show "1"!
But when I run wizard via RC - RSSI working fine...

Can anybody repeat (test) it???

NO! There are just to many variable in each set up.

this is the biggest problem.

when other flyer see what I have to go through ..that turns them off.

I try to tell them, other ET owners can set there up easy and fast I just not one who can!

the down side is>>there are two FPV flyer with out OSD and are looking for some other OSD than ET.

I still saying ET is the way to go.
