"Y" cable for telemetry

I am literally the world worst solder-er. I'm so bad I can solder my fingers to paper. I can solder live to ground even if the wires are 100 metres apart.

 

So it fills me with some trepidation to realise that to get APM telemetry through the 3DR radio *and* to a minumOSD, I need to construct a "Y" cable from the original cable. Which would be ok, if I had a normal 2.0 board (I saw the picture of how to do it on the wiki), but I have the 2.5+ board and cable with the microsopic board connector and tiny thin wires, which I'd rather keep intact.

 

So my question - is there an "off the shelf" cable that can do this?

 

And don't get me started on how the **** the grounding works on a MinumOSD...:-)

  • Some weeks ago there was a blog post here of a guy making a telemetry distribution board but i cant seem to find the blogpost... In other words: if you can wait a solution to your problem is coming...
