I think the messages of OSD_STATUS_ROW appear on both, OSD_STATUS and OSD_FM.
Problem seems the message is appear to OSD_FM_ROW when OSD_STATUS_ROW is enabled.

Thank you for the advice.
Both messages are disappeared when I set OSD_STATUS_ROW to -1

Also it was working as expected when I try it from the J10 port

JP Drone

@Eric-Katzfey Thank you for your support and the updated package.

I have successfully verified that the OSD works using J19 pins for UART communication. The msp_dp_osd program is displaying the OSD as expected.

However, I noticed an issue where a STATUS message or similar text is displayed in two locations. One appears correctly in the lower-left corner, as configured, but another is also visible near the center-left of the screen (please see the attached image).

Could you confirm if this behavior is expected?

Current configurations:
OSD_DIS_COL 1
OSD_DIS_ROW 11
OSD_STATUS_COL 1
OSD_STATUS_ROW 17

I would also be happy to handle long error messages.

JP Drone

@Eric-Katzfey Thank you for providing the updated package.
I will test it within the next three days.
I’ll get back to you with the results shortly.

JP Drone

@Eric-Katzfey Thank you for your response.

Yes, that's correct. I don't use GPS for indoor flight, so it's fine to use that UART port on J19 for OSD.

I appreciate your support and look forward to the update.

I am currently working on configuring the OSD program (msp_dp_osd) on VOXL 2 Mini. I have successfully confirmed that the OSD works using Pins 4/5 on J10 (/dev/ttyHS0).

However, Pins 4/5 on J10 (/dev/ttyHS0) are required for other critical purposes, and as a result, I would like to utilize J19 Pins 2/3 (SSC_QUP6) for OSD UART communication.

As these pins are connected to the DSP (SLPI processor), the current OSD implementation cannot access SSC_QUP6 directly because it requires QURT compatibility.

I kindly request that the OSD program be extended for QURT compatibility so it can function over SSC_QUP6 (J19 Pins 2/3). This modification would free up /dev/ttyHS0 for other critical tasks and allow more efficient use of the VOXL 2 Mini's available UART resources.

Thank you for considering this request. I look forward to your response and any guidance on potential workarounds or a timeline for implementing QURT compatibility for the OSD program.

@Alex-Kushleyev
I try reducing the pulse next.

We use ArduPilot with an external flight controller.
It would be nice to use the ESC UART protocol directly from the FC.
Having ArduPilot work on the VOXL 2 mini would be even better.

JP Drone

We are planning to fly only in PWM.
Can PWM based control always be enabled as we want to avoid crashing due to the PWM to be disabled in flight?

if there is any valid packets received by the ESC via UART, the pwm input interface is disabled until the ESC is rebooted. This should not happen unless you are actually communicating with the ESC via UART. This is done to avoid any possible interference between UART-based control and PWM-based control while in flight. UART protocol is still fully functional.

Also, the flight is PWM based control, but I would like to get the ESC telemetry (RPM, voltage and current) via UART.
Could you make it possible?

JP Drone

@Alex-Kushleyev Thank you very much.
I was able to set the parameter for ID 3 from the information you provided.

And, I also confirmed that the motor spins via PWM by motor tests.
However, after the motor test was completed, some motors continued to spin even after the FC set the PWM to 1000.
Some motors will stop rotating once the motor test is complete.
I don't know if this is a parameter issue or an ESC firmware issue.
I modified min_rpm and min_pwm, but did not solve the problem.

I updated to the new firmware.
However, ESC ID 3 doesn't work now.

ESC ID 3 is set as the fallback from this message.

WARNING: 57600 baud rate is the fallback baud rate if ESC params are not valid

I then attempted to rewrite the parameter using this command, but it failed.

./voxl-esc-upload-params.py --params-file ../voxl-esc-params/boards/esc_params_generic_m0129_pwm.xml --device /dev/slpi-uart-2 --baud-rate 57600

In light of this situation, could you advise if it's possible to fix the configuration issue with ESC ID 3 for proper functionality?
