Re: [Paparazzi-devel] osd i/f idea (Mike)

[Vassilis V.]

Hi Chris,

I did a simple OSD based on the Parallax propeller chip for use with a  
different autopilot (Attopilot), it will be trivial to modify it to  
listen to the TWOG/Tiny serial output stream. I have the schematics  
and source code in my blog. Getting the OSD to work with Paparazzi is  
on my project list, but first I need to finish connecting my EagleTree  
airspeed and altitude sensors to the TWOG (through the I2C bus). You  
can find more details in my blog (scroll down to the OSD posts):
