Hello my fellow UAVers,im thinking about a HD FPV set up and looking at the HD Zero system,I am using the Matek H743 board on my small VTOL,my question is does this just connect like a normal vtx setup,many thanks in advance
In a digital setup, the FC no longer has anything to do with the video signal. Here, the VTX is only supplied with voltage and the FC provides OSD data via serial interface. The display of the OSD information is done by the digital system. So it is completely different to the analog setup.
HDZero can be used with Ardupilot, I use these settings:
OSD_TYPE = 5
SERIAL5_PROTOCOL = 42
MSP_OPTION = 5

How far I can not say yet, is still in the test phase. I had to replace a freestyle VTX, because it did not go further than 1200 m. I have not yet tested the replacement VTX in flight. But I would be disappointed if it does not go over 20 km …
