Minim OSD Compatible With Pixhawk APM2.6 APM2.8 Naze32 F3 Flight Control For Quadcopter Multicopter(OSD for APM)

MINIMOSD Minim OSD is a compact on-screen display board designed to read telemetry data from autopilots via MAVLink and overlay it onto the video feed when used with an onboard camera and transmitter.This functionality is especially useful for pilots operating in First Person View () mode, allowing real-time access to flight data without requiring a ground station laptop.The board connects to any serial port on compatible flight controllers such as APM 2.5, 2.6, 2.8, Pixhawk, Pix, Naze32, and F3.It operates in receive-only mode, meaning it listens to telemetry data without interfering with other connected devices.For proper , set SERIALx_PROTOCOL 1 (MAVLink1), as the board does not support MAVLink2.Powering the MINIMOSD can be done through a two-stage regulation system designed to reduce electrical noise that may affect video quality, particularly from servos or other power-hungry components.Some setups may not require this dual-stage approach depending on component selection and wiring configuration.Two primary firmware options are actively maintained for the MINIMOSD:MWOSD: Originally developed for multiwii-based flight controllers like Betaflight and iNav, MWOSD now fully supports ArduPilot.It features a user-friendly graphical configurator that allows direct firmware flashing, layout customization, and real-time configuration.Key features include drag-and-drop screen layout editing, dynamic PAL/NTSC detection, configurable RC channel outputs, external inputs for voltage, current, and RSSI, integrated font uploader and editor, multiple preset layouts, icon or callsign display options, and enhanced MAX7456 handling using VSYNC interrupts to eliminate screen "snow".MinimOSD-extra NG: Revived by developer night-ghost after development stalled, this firmware introduces several improvements including four customizable screens instead of two, individual visibility control for icons on each panel, independent horizon angle adjustments for PAL and NTSC, dynamic PAL/NTSC detection, TLOG playback support in the configurator for offline testing, coordinates displayed in a single line, screen offset adjustment, support for radar and ILS display modes, and the ability to switch between plane and copter configurations on the fly—ideal for VTOL platforms.The firmware also enables mapping of any RC channel to an output pin, such as for camera switching.Pre-compiled binaries are available in the release section, and users can compile custom versions from source.Required libraries must be properly installed, especially SingleSerial if downloading via zip, since GitHub does not include submodules in zip archives.Alternative hardware variants have emerged, including the MinimOSD with KV , MinimOSD with KV , and AEROMAX.These offer additional analog/digital pins for direct voltage, current, and RSSI measurement.The MinimOSD measures just 15mm x 15mm, making it suitable for small UAVs.The AEROMAX features improved power efficiency, enhanced resilience to voltage fluctuations, extra I/O pins, and delivers cleaner video output compared to standard models.Compatibility Statement: This is a third-party .Brand/model references serve only as compatibility indicators.
