Hello
Please see the attached photos.  One shows a VTX, OSD, and camera I've had in my parts bin for a while and the other shows some sort of GPS unit.  I know its not great equipment but I'd like to mount it on this old QAV250 I used as my LOS trainer. It has a CC3D FC mounted and configured. The PDB also has some sort of power cable soldered to it that my multi-meter measures as 10V. I'm good with soldering and crimping plugs but I can't work out how to connect these bits of equipment.  Can one of you gurus detail out how I should connect this equipment?
Thanks
Glenn

The simple way to connect this up is as follows. The signal from the camera goes into the osd and then out to the video tx. The power supply to the vtx and the camera have to have a common earth. I suggest you visit the newbie section on the forum and watch video 3.

I think the gps will work with your flight controller but that will depend on firmware and the board. See this video https://youtu.be/chk0LA7Zv1Y

It may be better to upgrade to the Omnibus F4 if you want gps functions m

GPS will give position with cc3d, GPS function are not supported due to CPU on cc3d, for gps flight modes to will need a revolution board.

I thought that was the case. Board processors have moved on so fast in 3 years.

If your on Facebook have a look at the drone junk yard uk, sometimes there are some bargain frames on there.
