Connecting minimosd to computer question

Posted by Ben Shey on May 9, 2013 at 7:28am

Hi, this is my first post on the forum!

One question: Do i need to buy anything specific to connect the minimosd to my pc so i can use the configure program? I dont see any micro usb ports on the board... I saw in the wiki that i cant do it through my amp 2.5 board...?

Would this work:

If so, how do i hook it up?

Thanks

    Yes, you will need an FTDI board or FTDI cable with the USB/RS232 conversion chip (FTDI chip) built into the cable. Google FTDI for more info. The board or cable will plug into the five pin header on the minimosd, same place your telemetry data cable would normally plug in.
