Difference Between OSD and Telemetry ?

parichya.gautam · January 25, 2015, 08:00:04 PM

Main motive is that I need to see how much battery is left and other parameter like range of the radio ( FPV and Tx ) .

dont have much of knowledge here, I will be upgrading to FPV so need to know what to do and what not too .

ALSO regarding the radio, I will be upgrading to the FS 9X radio .. is it fine ( its the max i an do with my budget )

osd is enough for what you have asked!! osd(On Screen Display) displays the the data on the screen you use for FPV!!
telemetry displays it on your mobile or laptop, and you can change few parameters during flight if you have telemetry!!

oh ! cool, then OSD is fine .

I initially plan to use Kk2.1 with FPV , so adding OSD wont be an issue right ?

yup!! but i've seen very rarely people do that!! it would be better with an APM, anyways for a osd without apm you will need poer and current sensor module etc..... so better apm!!
