Kiss OSD
How-to upload it to your MinimOSD
Why use this version? Why not use the one from flyduino?
The version on the flyduino page is very basic. Some people like that. This one can do more:
- Read the following or simply watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XR2UEFcM3bA
- Fully customizeable OSD - make it look like you want:
- You can change the position of each OSD item and setup if/when it will be displayed in the KISS OSD CONFIG TOOL.
- You can make the OSD more or less busy using a knob on your radio. You can change the order the OSD items are displayed in the KISS OSD CONFIG TOOL.
- If you prefer a fixed set of OSD items and/or don't want to use a radio channels you can set this up too in the config tool.
- PIDs and Rates
- You can change your PIDs and rates in the menu. KISS FC Version 1.2 or higher is required to change the PIDs/Rates.
- Filters
- You can play around witht he LPF or Notch filter. KISS FC Version 1.2 or higher is required.
- VTX control (Immersion RC Tramp and TBS Unify Pro)
- You can change vTx channels/bands and power settings via OSD. KISS FC Version 1.3 or higher is required.
- If you configure the vTx power on a knob on your radio, the OSD will display the power setting (for one second when you turn the knob).
- Battery management
- You can configure 4 battery sizes and easily switch between them using stick controls.
- You can activate a battery alarm (on by default). At 25% battery capacity (default setting) it will flash a warning "BATTERY LOW" in the lower part of the screen. You can turn this feature off or change the capacity percentage in the Menu.
- While disarmed, move yaw to the right. Now you can select the batteries with roll and change the values with pitch.
- ATTENTION: For everyone arming their FC through yaw, this is disabled. You have to go through the menu to change your battery.
- Maximize your batteries in the field: If you did not finish your last battery (hey, we all crash) it will ask you to resume your last battery after plugging in again.
- Voltage alarm
- You can setup a voltage alarm at any voltage you like
- C-Rating calculation: The statistics will display the calculated C-Rating of your battery. Keep in mind this will be only realistic if you did a few punch outs during your flight.
- RSSI (FrSky Telemetry and XM+ receivers with special FW)
- RSSI data is obtained via a radio channel - no need to solder extra wires
- Please check out my wiki how to put RSSI on a radio channel
- Statistics
- General flight statistics showing maximum Amps, Watts, motor rotation speed, flight time, used mAh etc.
- Statistics for each ESC: maximum Amps, motor rotation speed, temperatures, used mAh and minimum Voltage
- Graphic display available for the following:
- Battery mAh
- Wattmeter
- Propeller rotation speed
- Wattmeter
- Everyone loves to watch their amp draw on the OSD, however that does not really tell you how much power your quad really produces: If your voltage sags dramatically, it might not produce as much power as you think.
- Watt = Amps x Voltage. That is the true definition of electric power.
- The OSD will calibrate itself to the maximum Watt output it records and set that as the maximum scale for the graphical Wattmeter. In case you do a drastic change in your setup (change prop style, motors, escs etc.) which causes your copter to produce less Watt you can lower the "Wattmeter max" setting in the battery menu.
When should you not use this version?
- You do not use KISS 24RE ESCs
- You can still use it, but some features, such as battery management and statistics will not work.
- Your radio does not have a digital volume control (you most probably use Taranis X9D - that one has two :))
- If you have a three way switch you could also use that. That would allow you to setup 3 different display setups by playing around with the limits on your radio for the switch.
