I have been working for 5 days trying to set up a OSD on my CC3D board anyone know of a good site that goes through it step by step I read the Libre Wiki loaded the firmware onto the OSD wired it per the schematic ? I get no video on the screen I remove the OSD from the system I get video , I don't know what I'm doing wrong ... I'm getting information overload ... most info is 3 to 4 years old ? ..   don't now where to go from here other than to abandon the project  I got about 50 hours into now .  I needs some help from some one that got the system to work ... I got a lot Questions ? 1. question what firmware to use with the OSD ? 2. question what two pads to solder to us only one 5 volt input  no one is clear on this info ? #3 do I even have the right OSD circuit board ?...  Its all baggood crap .

I needs some help from some one that got the system to work ... I got a lot Questions ?
1. question what firmware to use with the OSD ?

The one from Wiki page, first in download table (blue):
https://librepilot.atlassian.net/wiki/display/LPDOC/MinOPOSD+setup#MinOPOSDsetup-Downloadsdownloads

2. question what two pads to solder to us only one 5 volt input  no one is clear on this info ?
3. do I even have the right OSD circuit board ?...  Its all baggood crap .

Looks like your version doesn't have those pads.
Put power (12v) on video connector or MAX video chip is not powered = no video incrustation.

The other OSD (the CPU / arduino stuff) side is powered via CC3D port assuming you provide +5V to CC3D using a Bec or stepdown.

I got it to light both LED's 5v side and 12v side ... what transmitter are you using ? I'm using a Baggood TX 600 china special could it be mt TX will not work with text ?  The OSD works hooked to the Computer ? .

Thanks for the fast reply

I get nothing black scren? I tryed every thing I can think of ...   guess I dont need a OSD that bad .. Dam china shit    going fly with out it until I can find somthing better . Im wasting my time ... this is a clock killer

Thanks for the help

Try without videoIn, some cameras locks the video chip.

I see you are not using the ConfigTool version that come from Wiki page...
Did you update the charset ? This need both sides powered.

[dhackens]

Hello
config tool was down loaded from Wiki ? I think ? my cam is a Mobius Action cam ... 1. I will try it with cam off no video in ...  2. when I up dated the charset I did not power both sides I will try that ... what cam and transmitter are you using ? . I may need a different camera .


Thanks

Dan H.

[f5soh]

what cam and transmitter are you using ?

I have used many cameras and transmitters, from 1280Mhz, 2.4Ghz or 5.8Ghz
You really want a list ?

Currently cameras are 540 or 650tvl, a couple of boscam 200mW and LT200 used

For testing you don't need VideoIN

[dhackens]

tried it re load chartset both side powered .. nothing no video need try anther transmitter .. something is blocking it may be the transmitter will not Carrie all the signal ... what transmitter is everyone using ?   

[f5soh]

You can also connect the OSD video output to video input on monitor directly.

[dhackens]

Hello

What currently using on your A/C ? ..  Try another transmitter

Thanks
Dan H.

[dhackens]

I  will try that dirct into my monitor ... I will have to build a jumper wire

Thanks
Dan H.

[f5soh]

What do you mean with "A/C" ?

[dhackens]

Sorry    A/C = aircraft    my slang

 

[f5soh]

Boscam 200mW mounted in one quad and one flying wing.
LT200 for all others FPV quads because more small.

Not only one aircraft here

[dhackens]

I finally got it to work by building a ((jumper cable)) and going from the OSD into the monitor Now I can see what programs are being loaded make it a lot easier to trouble shoot the system and now I hooked up my transmitter and got that side of the system working ... I will make a video and post it on You Tube I have not seen any good info on how to set up a OSD and trouble shoot the system if it is not working  ... Thanks to  f5soh for give me the idea and telling how to do it
