FPV Part 5: 3DR APM 2.6 Setup for Power Module and MinimOSD Battery Voltage.

In this video we go through the process of getting the flight battery voltage to display on the OSD. The parameters are configured in the Ardupilot Mega 2.6 to support reading the voltage from the 3DR Power Module and output the data to the MinimOSD.
To come in the next video we will be using a USB to FTDI cable and configuration software to program the onscreen display of the MiniOSD.
