Title: Do I need a osd Post by: Aakashbathija on August 04, 2016, 05:17:27 PM Hey guys
This is my built King Kong 210 lite King Kong 2205 2300kv motors Littlebees 20a esc Naze32 Rev 6 Boscam tx Rx Ccd camera Quanum googles D4r receiver Taranis transmitter Do I need an osd with this specs ?and how do help me if yes Title: Re: Do I need a osd Post by: Cycloned on August 04, 2016, 05:26:17 PM No one "needs" OSD. It's simply a convenient way to display parameters about your flight/quad such as battery level, time flown, signal strength, etc.
If you fly close by so going out of range isn't a problem, I don't see the need for it. You can use a lipo checker to make sure your battery voltage doesn't drop below a certain level. Title: Re: Do I need a osd Post by: private on August 04, 2016, 06:21:08 PM OSD is not a must but convenient. Mainly used for Monitoring Lipo Voltage / Flight Time / RSSI etc...Check this Video our for setting up MinimOSD on Naze 32 Boards:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bdki9lIv31I As you are doing a 210 build, you may want to go with micro minimOSD which is explained well in below video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjl9T4D0UHs The above mentioned are old tech. These days you can get inbuilt OSD in PDB's / Flight Controllers and even some FPV Cameras are shipping with OSD inbuilt to save space, wiring mess and grams. As you are using a Taranis and D4r you also can establish telemetry link and monitor voltage from Taranis itself. Setup switches on Taranis to give audible feedback for fpv sessions. Also Don't forget to setup failsafe on d4r-ii. it is a must. Title: Re: Do I need a osd Post by: Aakashbathija on August 04, 2016, 07:07:47 PM Thank you very much , guys
Title: Re: Do I need a osd Post by: SK1701 on August 04, 2016, 07:56:39 PM Since you have a Taranis, you can use the telemetry to monitor battery voltage and RSSI. However, OSDs with a current sensor let you monitor how many mAh you have consumed which is a more accurate way of keeping track of your battery. I also like having the data overlaid on the FPV feed.
The Micro MinimOSD is nice since it lets you tune your PIDs via OSD but I find that they die very easily. I now use the Matek HubOSD which is a PDB with an integrated current sensor and OSD and I like it so far. It has a nice board layout that make wiring neat and the OSD looks good as well.
