Description
An Arduino-based on-screen display board, the APM MinimOSD Rev. 1.1 Kit is tailored for use with the ArduPilot Mega and the MAVlink protocol. Featuring a compact design, the MinimOSD features two independent power and ground sections to isolate the OSDs analog stage.
How It Works
- Main components are an ATmega328P 8 bit microcontroller with an Arduino bootloader, and a MAX7456 monochrome on-screen display.
- Programming done through an FTDI-compatible 6-pin cable.
- Two independent power and ground sections isolate the OSD’s analog stage: a +5V section for the ATmega and the OSD’s digital stage, powered through the FTDI cable or other +5V source; and a regulated +5V section for the OSD’s analog stage, powered through the video in/out header and capable of handling up to +12V input.
Technologies
- ATmega328P with Arduino bootloader.
- MAX7456 monochrome on-screen display.
- FTDI cable compatible pinout.
- Standard 6-pin ISP header.
- Solder jumpers for combining the power sections.
- +5V 500mA regulator for up to +12V supply input.
- Solder jumper for PAL video option.
- Exposed test points for HSYNC and LOS.
Design Details
- Two independent power sections with an LED indicator on each.
- Dimensions: 0.7″W x 1.7″L (2.4″ with pins) x 0.3″H.
Whats Included
- One APM MinimOSD Rev. 1.1 Kit.
