Hello! I'm new to the DIY Drone community, but have been into R/C aircraft and FPV for years. (Started back in highschool with a simple 200mw 1.2Mhz transmitter and camera on my sailplane) Anyway, I'm interested in upgrading my plane to have some UAV

Hello,
I have a MAX7456 chip, which is a relatively simple OSD chip. It's fitted on a breakout board and you talk to it through an SPI.
I tried to find out a way to easily connect the chip on the ardupilot, but the current SPI is used I think for the A

Hi Guys,
