Hello,

Connected MinimOSD to Serial4/5 on Pixhawk 2.4.8 and configured SERIAL5_PROTOCOL to 1 (MAVlink1).
The other side of MinimOSD is connected to FPV camera and VTX (both with signal & ground).
FPV camera & VTX gets their power directly from PDB BECs (5V, 12V).
A snapshot from the FPV screen is attached (see the overlay text and icon above it). Any idea...?

Thanks,
EZ

Very good OSD / AP

Prone to sometimes bursting into flames for no apparent reason though :)

That aside though, I trusted them that much I flew a 10km + maiden on one. Thinking about it that one was faulty too because I lost my current sensor reading lol.

Ask Coyote :D

I have 2x MFD flight controllers.
Are they actually any good?

I have a Mobula 6 HD - that's a lot of fun as long as you buy many batteries and a dedicated charger that can charge a few at once.

Hey Jimbo.

Yep understood - to be honest I think the over-regulation has strangled the hobby for the moment, it's quite sad really .. I hope it comes back, I have entirely too much cool stuff sitting on a shelf for me to accept that it's now worthless :laugh:

Yeah too true! Hopefully something will ease. Looks like getting a little whoop for now and dodging trees in the back garden  :laugh:

I remember that feeling well when I first started.

In the end I decided that if I was flying by myself, I didn't need a "perfect" flying spot to hang around in - even if I got a 5 minute flight in at the side of the road around something interesting it still counted - so personally I'd just try to find somewhere off the beaten track, chuck the aircraft up and enjoy yourself for a few mins.

Chances are noone will be bothered in such a small time window.

I live near Goole by the way, not a million miles away. There seems to be a little cluster of us around these parts :)

Hi Steve I'm thinking of getting back into the hobby after some time out. I used to fly with a buddy in York with the Yorkshire Model Flyers/Vikings RC, but they moved flying sites from south of York to North of York and they only fly line of sight, mainly nitro now.They stopped flying FPV and so did I really. Would be good to know if there are some local fixed wing FPV flyers not to far away from me to meet up with should I re-invest. I'm near Pontefract so Goole and the surroundings isn't too far at all.

I am using 4s and want to upgrade to 6s. Have you tried Ovonic 6s batteries?

The Knavesmire/ Racecourse?
