To do this, click select, choose the desired font and click upload (6). You can move items by clicking 'LAYOUT EDITOR' (4) and via the - or + select the item you want to move, then using the 'UP, LEFT, RIGHT, DOUWN' have it where you want. You can also show your nickname or name in Call Sign) (3). In Main Voltage, choose the number of elements of your LiPo (battery Cells) (2). Connect ground and the signal from your camera and video transmitter.Ĭonnect the battery and FTDI, throw the mistletoe found in the MW_OSD_GUI directory, and depending on your computer configuration, choose the directory (on my 64bit only the 32bit version runs), then start the MW_OSD_GUI application.Ĭonnect the port (in my case COM4) (1) and set as the screenshot (Figure 4). For the voltage of your lipo, come as solder the + and the mass of your LiPo. If another value is already without '//' be sure to add them.Ĭlick the arrow (6) to upload the firmware in your OSD.Īccording to Scheme 3 below solder your 5V supply (after a beak, a stepdown, see your video transmitter if it has a 5V output). Go in the 'config.h' (1) and change the following values by removing the '//' if it is not already not:

Your Arduino interface should open, go to tools, select type of card as 'Arduino Pro or Pro Mini' and the port where your FTDI is connected. Go to the directory MWOSD the decompressed archive, MW_OSD and click the Setup file. (Be careful to cross TX and RX, so the TX of the OSD is on the FTDI RX and RX of the OSD is on TX).

Start with soldering 5 pin header on the OSD (DTR, TX, RX, + 5V and ground), this is where you plug the FTDI and then GPS (Figure 1).Ĭonnect the FTDI on the OSD according to scheme 2 and connected to your computer. The firmware used is downloadable MWOSD here.

Arduino camera with osd driver#

I want to clarify that according to the chip of your FTDI, you can not put the original driver because you briquerez the dongle.

Arduino camera with osd install#

Previously, if this is not already done, install the driver for your FTDI (available here) And the Arduino interface downloadable here. a GPS (in my case a uBlox M8N)with which I withdraw the case or this one.FrSky steering wheel, I prefer to have an auditory warning radio than multiplying the information in the video back. It is also possible to receive the RSSI if your receiver allows. These are very handy if you lose your machine (I also recommend saving your flights with a DVR to retrieve this information if your battery becomes disconnected during a possible crash). The information displayed in your video will return the altitude, speed, distance, flight time, your battery voltage and contact information. The OSD standalone GPS is a handy little editing, among other things, for he that doeth FPV Fixed-wing.
