The title may be a bit provocative.. whatever.. MinimOSD is a great OSD and has, I am sure, much life left in it but is getting old. It has become less and less fun trying to squeeze new functionality into the small ram.
Some time ago I decided to do something about a replacement

Now it seems there are at least 2 other alternatives to MinimOSD

This is great and I am sure these will all benefit each others development
Actually, to acknowledge the past, Sami Korhonen did great work some few years ago on an OSD for OpenPilot which eventually spawned BrainFPV some of whose whose code is in the PlayUAVOSD . He seems to be working on a new OSD too.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FCe2ObzK7s
I should also mention and acknowledge SuperOSD which code was used in Sami Korhonen's original Openpilot code that eventually spawned BrainFPV et al and can still be seen there. It was ahead of its time http://www.super-osd.com/
Future is looking good for OSD development :)

@Neil Things are looking optimistic on that score. I dont want to push my luck so I'll leave it that for now. It would be great to have some pre-assembled boards available though.

It's great how this is coming along now Andy. Any idea on timescales for pre-assembled boards? My soldering's not quite up to the standard of yours, nor my eyesight!
Cheers,
Neil.
On the topic of OSD's are there any HD Mavlink capable ones to go with a connex FPV transmitter?
