We decided to continue using the off-the-shelf OSD because OSD chip MAX7456 has gone obsolete.

Requirements

• COTS features:

  • Arduino MCU

  • MAX7456 OSD chip

  • ISP header

  • PAL video format option

• minimosd

Research

• 2023 System Architecture

• https://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-minim-osd-quick-installation-guide.html#
