Weird OSD glitch?

Fiddlebog · Aug 28, 2017

So I got the new Diatone Fury f3 to get an OSD on my Tyrant. However, when I have it all hooked up I get video feed just fine, but I get a weird overlay of random glitches characters that switch to all V's after boot. What am I doing wrong?

Note that this happens when I have OSD enabled even if I have all OSD features disabled. Disabling the OSD entirely "resolves" the problem and allows me to have a normal camera view.

Hmm not sure Fb just had the same put in mine but my guru at hobby store installed and all good apart from still not getting good picture over about 4-5 metres.

I works just fine so long as I have it disabled, so I don't think I have anything wired wrong. So it must be a firmware or hardware issue? Maybe my FC is defective?

On the OSD tab, change it from Auto to NTSC (or PAL if that is what your camera and VTX use).

Already tried that. I have everything set to PAL. Also tried changing all to NTSC.

Oh, sorry I didn't see the photo before. That is odd.

Yeah I can't find anything like it anywhere.

Have you flashed the firmware? Maybe try full chip erase setting? That would be the only thing I can think to try really.

Fiddlebog · Aug 29, 2017

Haven't tried that yet. Was hesitant since everything else works fine. I'll try that when I get home.

So I updated the firmware, and now BF doesn't even recognize the OSD part of the board. Says something about it not responding to OSD commands. I tried emailing Diatone, but they haven't responded. At this point I'm assuming it's defective.

Did you try flashing the same version? Sometimes upgrades break stuff. You might try 3.1.6 or whatever it arrived with. But yeah, it sounds like it is probably broken.

Bottle,

Try this. Plug your Lipo battery into the bird (props off!) then connect the bird to the computer and go into BetaFlight. In BetaFlight go to the OSD section. Select "Font Manager" and select a font (I use the BetaFlight font). Select "Upload Font". On some of my birds this will cause BetaFlight to reboot, don't worry about the reboot, the font has been changed. This should solve your problem, if not, it's something else. Let me know if it works or not.
