Micro MinimOSD w/ KV Team Mod ( Pin Header Edition)

The Micro MinimOSD is the next evolution of minimization. The Minimosd was engineered to bring users a very powerfull OSD at a unreal cost. After all the community mods, we re-engineered the OSD so every useable pin was easy available.(no more surface soldering)  From the manfactures of the WitesSpy KV Team OSD and all your requests have now envoled into the Micro MinimOSD! With all the features of the very popuar WiteSpy KV Team modded OSD but in a 15x15MM size. The only differenece is that It does NOT have the Dc/Dc converter.  this means less heat when powered off a  Flight controller.   The ReadyToFly MinimOSD is the same as the older MinimOSD hardware, but has been modified to take advantage of custom firmware options. You can choose firmware that is MAVLink compatible for ArduCopter, or MultiWii Serial compatible for MultiWii and Baseflight/Cleanflight  control boards. You can connect two batteries up to 4S so you can see the main flight battery voltage.  the second port will allow your FPV battery voltage on the display as well. we also did not forget about the pin for analog or digital PWM RSSI and a connection where you can attach a current sensor.

 Features:

• All the same features as the orgnal, but less the half the size
• NO Dc/Dc convert . power board via 5 volts
• FTDI cable compatible pinout
• Standard 6-pin ISP header
• Two LED indicators
• ATmega328P with Arduino bootloader
• MAX7456 monochrome on-screen display
• 15x15MM Size!
• Modifications for direct connection of two batteries (up to 4S)
• Pad for an Analog or Digital PWM RSSI signal
• Pad for the connection of a Current Sensor
• ATmega328P with Arduino bootloader
• Standalone, or with APM/ Flip / Flip32+ flight controllers
• These modifications allow direct connection of two batteries (up to 4S)

Big thank you to the KV Team and the OSD firmware and the multiwii-osd team

This hardware take the hardware mods for this firmware, and builds them into an RTF solution.

This Board can be used just as a normal OSD for APM or it can be used with MWC KV Team Mod .

It’s tailored for use with ArduPilot Mega and the MAVlink protocol, and designed to be as compact as possible. It’s main components are an ATmega328P 8 bit microcontroller with an Arduino bootloader, and a MAX7456 monochrome on-screen display. Programming is done through an FTDI card.

Specifications

• ATmega328P with Arduino bootloader
• MAX7456 monochrome on-screen display
• FTDI cable compatible pinout
• Standard 6-pin ISP header
• Two independent power sections with an LED indicator on each
• 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
• Dimensions: 0.7″W x 1.7″L (2.4″ w/ pins as shown) x 0.3″H
