To my knowledge, the KakuteF7 has a built in OSD chip. So there should be no need for an external OSD device such as Minimum OSD. Inside Betaflight for example, you can enable OSD. There are several videos on youtube showing how to use Betaflight and use the built in OSD. I hope this helps.
I have a bare chip version and it looks to be the old type. My labeling looks like: grn tx rx +5v gnd blk It's not clear to me if you're saying that the labeling is simply incorrect? Or are the pins actually in different places but labeled correctly?
The labels printed out side the plastic case are incorrect (only the GND pin) if you have the exact same Minimum OSD model as I have shown in my video. I don't have bare chip version to check if the printed circuit board labels are also incorrect or not. You can do a quick test and just use a +5V battery and see if the LED comes on or not only using +5V and GND pin ( 1 second test). if LED doesn't comes ON, means labels are incorrect. let me know if that helped you.
yes you can, however you will have to program mission planner to use Telemetry Port 1 for Set SERIALx_PROTOCOL = 1 (MAVLink1) because MinimOSD does not understand MAVLink2 Also read this guide ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-minim-osd-quick-installation-guide.html
Radio Telemetry is basically a way for Pixhawk to transmit realtime flight data back to the grounding using an external transmitter that you connect to the PixHawk or Cube. Please refer to this link for more details. ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-telemetry-port-setup-for-apm-px4-and-pixhawk.html

If I understand your question correctly, the new MINI OSD as shown in the video, from top down the pins are; BLK GND 5V RX TX GRN - not sure what this PIN is for,
@@UAVSkies yes but the sheet mentioned that the "pin above tx " for the old OSD is connected to the DTR of the converter .so which pin in the new mini OSD should be connected to DTR of the converter.
@@neeraju.8215 none. I have not personally tested the new MINI OSD in long time, but the new MINi OSD is not using any hardware flow control. It is using software flow control. So the only pins you can use are +5V, GND, TX and RX. Give it shot, it should work. You need to make sure in your minimum OSD software you set the software for software flow control for the serial port. let me know if it works. if not try connecting the DTR pin to BLK pin.
You didn't mention the most important part of ALL this!! How we setup in mission planner! The newest version of MP screwed everything up and it's not so easy to set up anymore. Used to go in parameters and look for parameter osd_type and enable osd but that's nowhere to be found anymore. So now what! Glad I stop messing with these clunky ass boards 3 years ago and went to Kakute F7 boards with built it osd. If ardupilot had any sense they'd come out with a PNP AIO board but noooo. They want to produce these clunky ass blocks of plastic instead
Sorry, didn't see your comment till now. You have to remember the history of how Ardupilot evolved over several years. Back then, Minimum OSD was the only solution available and it was a huge thing. I agree it is cumbersome, bulky and pain the neck now a days to use it but there are people still using it for several other reasons (not for quads but for larger planes). The only issues with built in OSD FC is if you want to use an HD CAM, most FC do not support it. So you are stuck with analog CAM's. That is the trade off between using an external OSD system vs. the built in one. (Yes, I know minimum OSD doesn't support HD CAM's either).
@@Freebird_67 We have been thinking about building our own FC with built in OSD. The challenge is how to support HD video CAM's (non proprietary) but similar to like DJI which is proprietary and it sucks. It is work in progress. Check our website www.UAVSkies.com in the future. We are working on a some new Goggles soon to hit the market.
@@UAVSkies I do like my Digital FPV DJI goggles and think they work well but I'd never buy another set. Soon after I purchased mine the V2 came out. LMao! Figures. Anyway they didn't add much as upgrades to the V2's in my opinion just a few little things like 720p to 810p and a little faster FPS which I'm willing to bet my V1's could also could do with a simple firmware patch but we all no how DJI does things. Lol. I'll check out your site!! Sounds interesting!!
@@Freebird_67 We are trying to figure out how to break their monopoly in HD video industry for Quads and other planes. I would say another year before we will have solution. But soon we should have a very interesting new Goggle concept. lets see what happens :)

Appreciate your efforts Very useful even in 2024
Thank you!
This video realy helped me. Thanks
I am glad to hear that.
hi, if I used KakuteF7 with built in OSD. how to activate OSD? or I still using Minim?

part 2 ?
I have a bare chip version and it looks to be the old type. My labeling looks like:
grn
tx
rx
+5v
gnd
blk
It's not clear to me if you're saying that the labeling is simply incorrect? Or are the pins actually in different places but labeled correctly?

My friend, Can i use Telemetry port 1?? I need the second one for another feature
yes you can, however you will have to program mission planner to use Telemetry Port 1 for
Set SERIALx_PROTOCOL = 1 (MAVLink1) because MinimOSD does not understand MAVLink2
Also read this guide ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-minim-osd-quick-installation-guide.html
So what's with the Radio Telemetry? Is it necessary if my PixHawk Cube is producing Telem?
Also, could you scan that paper you drew your schematic on and upload it?
