Using MWOSD with dRonin

Preparing OSD Hardware

  • Download and install Arduino https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
  • Download the latest MWOSD source https://github.com/ShikOfTheRa/scarab-osd/releases/latest
  • Extract the MWOSD source to a location of your choice (e.g. Desktop)
  • Start Arduino, and open /MW_OSD/MW_OSD.ino (File > Open)
  • Switch tabs in the Arduino IDE to "Config.h"
  • Find #define CLEANFLIGHT and comment it out (add // in front)
  • Find //#define TAULABS and uncomment it (remove // in front)
  • Connect your microminimosd (or compatible) hardware via an FTDI (use all 6 pins)
  • In Arduino IDE, choose Tools > Board > Arduino Mini
  • Choose Tools > Port and select the FTDI
  • Choose Sketch > Upload
  • Wait for the compile and upload to complete and your OSD is ready
  • Connect power and video wires to the OSD as required for your hardware (refer to hardware docs)
  • Connect OSD to one of the serial ports on your flight controller (use Rx and Tx pins)

Configuring dRonin

  • Start dRonin GCS
  • Connect your flight controller board
  • On the Hardware configuration page, find the port you connected your OSD to
  • Change the port to MSP
  • Click Save, and reboot the board
  • Your OSD should now operate correctly with dRonin
