Mini OSD Board for APM

The Mini OSD (On Screen Display) is a compact circuit board designed to extract telemetry data from your APM or Pixhawk flight controller and superimpose it on your FPV (First Person View) video stream. This is particularly useful for FPV mode flying or when you prefer not to use a laptop in the field for viewing telemetry data in Mission Planner. To customize the screen layout and the data shown, an FTDI adapter is required to program the OSD module.
