Posted by Sian-Jie Ciou on October 11, 2010 at 11:07am

Hellow all! this is my first post here!

Im a novice from Taiwan.
I cant find any info about APM in taiwan.
so I come here ......but my english is not pretty good
maybe I've found what I want but I missed it.......
hope anyone can answer my little question

I want to play FPV with APM
but I dont know what I have to buy if i already have things on APM home page
(actually im waiting APM IMU in stock,
i want to order one but i dont know where to order it)

i know i have to buy a CCD camera
and i want to know that I can just connect cam and board
and use the XBee to do real-time?

or i have to buy another wireless only for real-time video transmission?

Jasonshort's answer is correct, but I want to clarify that the Xbees are used for telemetry not video, thats where the links jasonshort left come in handy.

APM sits between your radio and the servos. It doesn't have anything to do with the video path.
