Bench testing my PixHawk and trying to get all systems working ...going fine untill I connected up the APM MinimOSD. No Video or OSD. I know the video setup is working because when I pull hte MinimOSD out of the connection I have very good video.
This is a 5.8 set up. The MinimOSD has a red light on both sides of the card and the small (green/white) light is flicking. I have re-ckecked conections several times. Looking for some more thought before I return the MinimOSD for a new one.

Mine only works when it is in the Telem1 port.
Darren , thanks for your reply. I and using Telem 2 I have not tried to switch to port 1.
I have not run the OSD through the firmware upgrade . Plan on doing that tonight. That may be the missing link.
Been doing a lot of reading about installing the OSD Minmi.
I found a few posts on how it should work in any Telem port.
However I found that it only worked in Telem 1 for me.
I haven't looked at upgrading firmware. I'll check that out also.
Let us know how you go.

Could be a power issue. I had a similar challenge connecting additional equipment to my Pixhawk. I assume you are using a separate battery to power everything, but make sure it's up to the job.
Bill thanks for your reply. I have the Video transmitter on a sepreate battery 3s 11.1. Being on the test stand the servos are not active and the battery prowing the PixHawlk are freasly charged.
