We will connect the OSD to the ArduPilot telemetry port and we will connect the camera and the video transmitter.
We need to download software for the FPV camera. You just plug the FTDI Basic to the OSD mini and you are ready to connect to the USB cable. The connection between the FTDI basic and the MinimOSD would be as follows:
MInimOSD | FTDI basic |
Rx | Tx |
Tx | Rx |
GND | GND |
VCC | VCC |
For more clarification, refer to the following screenshot. The other end of the USB cable will go to the computer for flashing a firmware to the OSD. There are a number of software tools available for the OSD. We will work with the easiest open source firmware called arducam-osd.
