How to add custom OSD Elements in INAV

🔗 https://www.MrD-RC.com 🔗   / mrd_rc  

A really useful addition to INAV 7 was the ability to add custom OSD elements. Using these, you could pretty much show any data you want on the OSD. There are some limits. The data needs to be accessible or created in the programming tab. But other than that, you can fill your boots.

In this video, I show an example of how you can simply get some flight data and show it on the OSD. My example shows how to add altitude in metres and distance from home in kilometres. You may think that those units are already available. Not if your OSD is in a non-metric configuration ;)

I also show an example of how to replicate the functionality of the current OSD switch indicators.
