MyFlyDream AAT and APM/Pixhawk

Hi, I am seriously considering building an antenna tracker. However after some research and sourcing all the various parts/bits and pricing it all together I get a really "hacked-together" looking tracking unit for a cost of about ~250usd which also would need to be constantly tethered to my GCS which I may or may not need in the field (depending on the mission).

after search on the net for some kind of a ready-to-use, preferably wireless solution I came across My Fly Dream AAT for 335. Digging more into their manuals I discovered that it can be used with other brand OSDs...

I am wondering if anyone uses it with the minim osd? since minim OSD doesn't have a "live" GPS feed?

Also would it be possible to share a single GPS unit between apm and their TeleFlyOSD if yes how would you accomplish this, would a simple Y splitter on the Tx pin of the 3dr gps module work (would it affect apm)?

Thank you everyone!

I know this is pretty old now, but for the sake of Google search and to answer future questions.

NO - the Pixhawk CANNOT share a M8N GPS unit with the V4 Telefly OSD. I have spent the past 3 days and a multitude of configurations trying to get them to play nicely.

I have tried forcing the baud rate on the GPS and in MP for the Pixhawk around through the 4 available choices on the telefly OSD to no avail.

I have powered the M8N GPS from a 5v source and piped the GPS data stream directly into the Telefly OSD & that works flawlessly.

Once the Pixhawk is connected to the M8N GPS the telefly no longer will see valid data packets from the GPS.

hope this helps you in your search for an answer. I am now wiring up a small 5hz mini GPS to give location data directly to the Telefly OSD and in turn the MFD AAT.

Cheers,

Brian

Brian...I just started messing with my MFD AAT. Had it since 2016 or so and now have time to figure it all out.

can you show me how you connected the M8N to the Telefly please.

I have at least 3 GPS units laying around that came with APM's and I want to use one of them.

Old post but here I am asking a question. Did anyone succeed? What was the solution?

What about using a 3dr gps just for the telefly?
