Hey guys,
Ok, so Im setting up my APM 2.5 with a RFDesign 900 Modem and a Minim OSD. I have been looking around and so far, I have seen in relation to the 3DR radios and minim osd, people are running them in parallel. However, I have also seen where t

I wanted to check [before putting the order for the 433MHz 3DRs] if anyone is using or tested a Scherrer LR RX/TX with 3DR telemetry? They are using the same band so interference is likely, anyone care to share their experiences and/o

Really sad to see that they haven't credited DIYDrones / 3DR at all except a link to the wiki page. The have just coied the description fr

However, when it's connected
