The first signs of life of the flight controller I have been working on for a while now.What is different about this FC is that it incorporates an OSD on chip. The benefits of having it on chip are small size and very low latency. The OSD also uses vector graphics so you aren't restricted to having to make everything out of text. I wrote a little about it on DiyDrones preveiously

An early version of the flight controller can be seen in action here running a version of ArduPlane
It used my quantracker OSD described here

, but in that version everything such as sensors and connectors was mounted on Veroboard.Anyway, it is great to have that initial spark of like ( in this case getting a diagnostic back from the bootloader). Now everything should be easy
Next is to see if I can get talking to some of the peripherals !
I hope to keep this blog updated as I proceed.
