The FT FPV Split cube caught my eye as an easy way to get both FPV and HD recording on my flying wings. Recently someone posted a question about standalone OSD for a plane. I've thought about doing this with my planes for some time, and thought, that would be an excellent add-on for the FT FPV Cube. Pondered a few ideas including a minimOSD with a GPS, current sensor, and voltage monitoring, but by the time you start adding the current/voltage sensor, BEC, and other required gear, it would be more cost effective and simpler to use an AIO OSD FC with a barometer, compass, PDB, and external GPS. Weather or not the FC has a baro and compass or not is optional if you are running with a GPS since elevation can be skimmed from the GPS. Barometer will be more accurate than GPS for elevation, and generally speaking, it is preferred to use GPS heading over compass if both are available. Over the next couple of posts, I'll go through the assembly, configuration, and testing of my build. I'll be using a RunCam Split and the FREE cube frame that came with the split that I purchased from FT.
Cheers!
