3DR RADIO V2 and minimOSD

Posted by a b on March 15, 2014 at 2:51pm

I want to use minimOSD and the new telemetry module together but I can't figure out which cable is what (espacially Tx). Can someone help?

Thanks

    Sorry, didn't realise. The pins are on the web site - see the Hardware section for PIXHAWK/APM2.x and pins are written there for each plug.

      There is a tutorial on rcgroups that shows how to build the cable and the pinouts for it.  Also shows how to jumper the pins to power the whole board with just the 5v input, and has a trouble shooting section.

    Do you mean pinout for telemetry cable port?

    From the edge:

    - GND

    - NC

    - Rx (to Tx on radio OR OSD)

    - Tx (to Rx on radio AND OSD)

    - +5V

    It's written at the bottom of APM PCB, near telemetry port:

    Is this on APM 2.5/2.6? I am using it on a Pixhawk, but there is two serial ports so no issue. On my APM 2.6 I am using just the radio (actually I am using an RDF 900 - but they work the same).

    Apparently you can just plug in both with a Y cable. The current ones online though are for the old radio. Same principle, just a different plug I think.
