<h2>FLYTRON Ground Station</h2>
330
<p>The Ground Station software works with bidirectional FrSky modules. You should edit config.ini file before first run.</p>
331
<p>you will see the line like &#8220;COMPORT=COM3&#8243; in the ini file, edit this com port number to your computer&#8217;s comport number that FrSky module connected. Then run the software and explore it&#8217;s features. Software is already on Beta and we are sharing it just for testing purpose.</p>

<h2>Audio Telemetry Modem Receiver</h2>
347
<p>This is world first telemetry modem system over sound card, this mean you dont need any external device or part for reading telemetry data on the ground station. It reducing cost of your FPV set and increasing the flexibility.</p>
348
<p><img src="http://www.flytron.com/fotolar/simpleosd/audio_telemetry_modem.png" border="0" alt="" width="521" height="376" /></p>
349
<p>Tool reading AFSK waves from your microphone (or line-in) input and analysing it for byes and giving out from TCP 1976 port for external plugin softwares like google earth interfaces, data rcordars or flight gauges.<br />
350
<strong>Follow this 3 easy steps for reading telemetry datas:</strong></p>
351
<ol>
352
<li>Power on SimpleOSD XL (ofcourse connect it&#8217;s audio pin on your video TX&#8217;s audio input.)</li>
353
<li>Connect your video receivers audio output on you computer&#8217;s line-in or microhone input. You will hear the AFSK signals from your speaker. (if not, check your sound card&#8217;s recorder input options)</li>
354
<li>Run the SimpleOSD Audio Modem Receiver software and press the RUN button.</li>
355
</ol>
356
<h3><strong>Fine Tune:</strong></h3>
357
<ul>
358
<li>Every video receiver&#8217;s have different output levels for audio signals and you must finetune it from your computer.</li>
359
<li>Uncheck the Digitize check box. It will show audible signals on the screen.</li>
360
<li>You should see full waves on the screen, if waves too small or overloaded it is affect your data quality.</li>
361
<li>Open your sound card&#8217;s &#8220;Recording Control&#8221; menu and change the Gain value for optimising the AFSK waves on acceptible wave size.Waves mus be smaller then oscilloscope screen height and higher than half of screen. %80 is best size for waves.</li>
362
<li>Check Digitize check box after fine tuning.</li>
363
</ul>
364
<h3><strong>Developer&#8217;s Section</strong></h3>
365
<p>Audio Modem software including basic plugin architecture for using telemetry values on external applications like googleaerth control or value analysers.</p>
366
<p>Download this manual for detailed information about our AFSK protocol and Plugin system :<a href="http://www.flytron.com/pdf/audio_modem.pdf">http://www.flytron.com/pdf/audio_modem.pdf</a></p>

<h2><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">TROUBLESHOOTING</span></strong></h2>
368
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><a name="background visibility"></a>1 &#8211; My Black Background is not enough black</strong></span></p>
369
<p>Some CCD Survilance Cameras giving powerfull video outputs for long cable lengths, If you using this type cameras for FPV, SimleOSD&#8217;s black background will not enough black.<br />
370
You should increase SimpleOSD&#8217;s output than original design and it is very simple hack.<br />
371
Just find &#8220;101&#8243; coded resistors close to GPS Port. First resistor increases white, Second one increases Black <img src='http://blog.flytron.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
372
Use a solder drop jumper for disabling this resistor.<br />

<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><a name="gps cant fixed"></a>2 &#8211; My GPS&#8217;s 3DFIX LED dont stop to blinking</strong></span></p>
375
<p>GPSs works 1.3Ghz and they are following very low power satellite signals. Because satellites works with solar panels and output powers only few watts on GPS signals. This is why GPSs affects all noises around.</p>
376
<p>At first, be sure your GPS not close to your video transmitter. Then you should check magnetic/electric noise generators on your setup. Brushless motors and their wires generates giant magnetic pulses and it affects all sensitive things arround. And some wrong designed ESCs are the main problem of all noise problems. They generates big voltage drops on battery side and it affects your equipments. Most of Rc Receivers resistive to this problems because producers designing them for worst case. But GPS producers already designing them for more healty conditions.</p>
377
<p>Power line filters resolves powerline parasites on most cases but not RF noises afound.</p>
378
<p>You should find right GPS position and maybe you should add some ferrite beads on wires.</p>
379
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><a name="gps fixed but"></a>3 &#8211; My GPS Fixed but SimpleOSD didnt recognise it</strong></span></p>
380
<p>Please check the GPS to OSD cabling and data lines.<br />
381
Tx or RX lines should be connected to OSD before power on.</p>

<p>- be sure your OSD working and everything installed when updating it. You cant talk with it when it is off.<br />
471
- And be sure you choosed right com port from software and cable connected to right place.</p>

<p>It works without problem when this points ok.<br />

552
I too, like Peter above, want to connect for RSSI from my RDS8000 2.4ghz receiver. Please make a solution <img src='http://blog.flytron.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
553
I have questions for you; (without Volt sensor installed)<br />
554
#1) I am powering the video, vid transmitter, and OSD through the 4 pin vid connect on OSD board. IS THIS OK?<br />
555
#2) With the above set up I see the Voltage and mA on screen with out volt sensor&#8230;is this the MAIN #1 passed through to video?<br />
556
 The mA counts off really fast&#8230;must not be accurate installed this way.<br />
557
Hope to hear from you soon, Patrick</p>

<p>Yes it is possible, Simple OSD including opensource telemetry systems (Audio and FrSky based ones) but you need some programming skills for that.</p>

<p>I guess you can use the package lost led modification method for your receiver.<br />
619
just reads this article: <a href="http://blog.flytron.com/rssi-output-for-2-4ghz-futaba-fasst.html" rel="nofollow">http://blog.flytron.com/rssi-output-for-2-4ghz-futaba-fasst.html</a></p>
620
<p>About your questions:<br />
621
1) yes you can supply it over 4 pin side, this is simplest installation method with only 3 wire (+ &#8211; video)<br />
622
2) but you can measure the current over it. disable current info from screen for this setup. Because OSD measures the volts with internal voltage sensor but current sensor inputs affects from electric noises and measures the noise without the current sensor.</p>

GPS already working and giving altitude and other details on this video. But saying &#8220;waiting for fix&#8221;. This is not a problem of OSD or GPS unit. GPS giving alert about loosing fix when it cant detect enough satellites around. Probably, your video TX jamming the GPS signals and it is receiving poor quality GPS signals. Change the GPS&#8217;s or VTx&#8217;s position, it resolves the most of noise problem. And add a satellite count symbol on your OSD screen for following the signal quality.</p>
774
<p>Possible reasons of time delays:<br />
775
- All VTx devices sensitive to temperature on mosfet junction and they generates more noise less power when the temperature increasing. This is why their range reduces after few minutes.<br />
776
- Satellites turning around the earth. If GPS fixes with only 4 satellite, it loses it after few minutes. You need 8 or more satellite signal for good quality position detection.</p>
