I am wondering how ppl are using minimOSD and the bidirectional telemetry capability with the APM at the same time? Most documentation I see say one or the other or you send the tx to the OSD and the…Continue

Installed Arducopter 3.0 RC2, had verification error which I have seen several times without problem, re-calibrated quadcopter and went to the fieldPlugged in battery at the field and the ESCs started beeping an error which translate to "input signal abnormal"I whipped out the laptop connected it via USB to downgrade back to 2.9.1bThen the ESCs stopped the beep error and made the "ready song" so chose not to downgradeI unplugged the APM from USB and from Battery to validate APM was…See More

"You are correct in the wiring for OSD. APM Tx to 3DR Rx is split to OSD Rx. Sorry about that. No telemetry showed on OSD until I connected air and ground radios thru MP. I think running telemetry recorded to MP will help…"

"That is good to hear, I'm glad you had a win . I hope to get close to finishing my APM quad tomorrow so I will try making my own splitter too. So you have to send 3DR tx to OSD rx instead of sending APM tx to both 3DR rx and OSD rx. Will…"

"I made the splitter cable from a female servo cable, worked very well. From your diagram (shown below 3DR and OSD) the 3DR Tx needs to be connected to OSD Rx, +5v to +5v and Gnd to Gnd You do need the telemetry working."

"Angus, yes you do need to add pins and cut a hole in the case. However, you can also add a splitter as suggested. I just think adding the pins was more elegant. I have another apm 2.5 I'll wire that one with a splitter. As far as I…"

Help Using MinimOSD and 915MHz Bidirectional Telemetry

I am wondering how ppl are using minimOSD and the bidirectional telemetry capability with the APM at the same time? Most documentation I see say one or the other or you send the tx to the OSD and the rx to the 915mhz antenna... This makes me believe that the ground station would then not receive the telemetry..I would like to have the telemetry data on the OSD and going to the ground station as well...Is there a special cable to split the signal to both the OSD and the transmitter?Let me know…See More
