OSD Pro Overview - Basic Steps for setting up your OSD Pro

Document Version 1.3

Note: this document is provided to give a “quick overview” of how

easy it is to set up the OSD Pro with basic functionality. It’s

important to read the OSD Pro and eLogger instruction manuals

for important warnings and other information.

1) Connect the OSD Pro, GPS, and eLogger pieces together, as shown at

right. The OSD Pro connects to the “LCD/TX” port of the eLogger, and

the GPS connects to the “GPS” port of the eLogger.

2) If your OSD Pro kit includes the eLogger V4: If you are powering your

OSD Pro system with a battery pack greater than 4S (about 16V), the

included throttle monitoring Y cable needs to be connected between

the “Throttle” input of the eLogger V4, and any receiver channel, to

provide backup power to the eLogger V4.

If your OSD Pro includes the eLogger V3: If you are powering your OSD

Pro system with a battery pack greater than 3S, OR you will not be

connecting any of the servo inputs of the OSD Pro to your receiver, the battery backup harness (included with your kit)

needs to be connected between the USB port of the eLogger, and a spare receiver channel. See the eLogger manual for

more information.

3) Connect your video camera and Video Transmitter to the OSD Pro. This is the hardest part to do with any OSD, since

cameras and transmitters have nonstandard connectors. Our FPV dealers often supply complete packages with custom

hookups for the supplied camera/Tx. The below shows one way to wire it. Also, note that there are many user

supplied wiring diagrams for the osd Pro online at http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1286603

4) Install the software from

the included CD or from

the web, and connect the

eLogger to the PC with the

included USB cable. If

prompted, update the OSD

Pro to the latest firmware

version, by clicking the

"Update Firmware" button.

5) Click “Hardware, Configure

OSD” and the page shown

below appears. Select the

text parameters you want

to display from the dropdown box, and drag them to where you want them on the simulated screen, renaming the text

if desired. In my case below, I have configured Temperature, Pack Voltage, mAH, GPS altitude and speed, distance to

home, GPS sattelites in view, call sign, and GPS HDOP. I also want to use the RADAR “synthetic map” feature, which

shows me where I am (and the direction I’m pointing) in relation to home. And, I want the graphical compass and

graphical battery. These are all configured on the same software page.

6) Click OK. The below display appears on the OSD Pro. You’re done! Now, there are lots of features that you are NOT using, which are there for later when you need them (some requiring additional sensors). These are all described in the OSD Pro manual.
