Gluonpilot

Does anyone know of an OSD that I could attach to gluonpilot?
I'm looking for something very simple that would pull information from Gluonpilot and place this on a video link.
On Gluonpilot board we have 1x I2C output, 1x SPI output and 1x uart (ttl) output.
Uart connection I would use to connect to Xbee and the same have telemetry on ground station.
also in the future I would like to attach pitot tube - this would probably use I2C connection.
This leaves SPI output - can I do anything with this?

The idea is to have an OSD that would simply connect to Gluonpilot and pull such information as GPS, altitude, gyroscopes and put this information on a video link.

Any ideas?

I have found following thing: http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/produc ... ts_id=9168

One of the "if I ever have time" projects

I have a few of these chips laying around (samples) to start playing. One of the reasons you can switch between 3V3 and 5V for the gluon-SPI port is this particular chip! I suppose it would only be a matter of a few days to get the code up and running once we get started with it.

oh, great. So OSD is part of the project scope
Regarding possible OSD chips, is the one i proposed any good?
Do you have any other proposals that can be used for this?
Is my thinking that SPI port should be usable for this?

Well it is a bit old maybe. I guess the chip is good enough, but graphics won't be possible (as far as I can remember the datasheet). So we'll need to make a layout that is text-based.

Hi Tom,

did you have the time to look at the OSD?
Can you let me know with which OSD chip you are planing to work?

Hi Lukasz,

You will never believe it: I have a working gluonpilot OSD with the MAX7456

Expect a post on the weblog real soon

wow!
Cant wait to see it

Will you be also selling those? if so then I'm interested!

Probably, Still doubting whether to use some Sparkfun or similar board, or to make a Gluon extension board (xbee + switched 5V power supply + OSD)...

Well, this sounds interesting.
let me know if there will be any realistic plans to develop such board.

I'm still on hold in buying sparkfun regulated boards for xbee.

If I have time enough to design it, I'll have the PCB's made together with the new modules planned for end December.
