Curious if anybody has gotten the minimOSD to work with the Navio. Mine powers up fine, but then just sits there stating that it’s waiting for Mavlink heartbeats. I have APM running at startup with “sudo ArduCopter-hexa -A udp:192.168.1.2:14550 -C /dev/ttyAMA0 > /home/pi/startup_log &”, which from what I understand should output telemetry to the uart. Any insight would be much appreciated!
Best regards
You’re absolutely right, Joseph. However, due to the fact that Navio 2 image is a little bit raw at the moment we have decided to leave the UART console to help inspect any Linux related problems. Once you disable the serial console in raspi-config, everything’s going to be fine.
Well, thanks for the suggestion. I disabled the serial console in raspi-config as suggested, power cycled, but still no go with the “waiting for Mavlink heartbeats” status. I guess better question would be, is there a better or more well suited OSD that is confirmed working with the Navio2? I don’t mind switching OSD boards, but having functional OSD for me is a must.
Best Regards
Don’t you also have to remove the console entry in cmdline.txt?
After starting over from scratch I was able to overcome the issue. Thanks to staroselskiy for pointing out that the serial console in raspi-config required disabling; it would have taken me a while to overcome that one on my own. In the end though I believe that the issue was due to user error/faulty wiring… Thanks none the less 
Now if only we could get motors 5 & 6 running…
