CRIUS AND minimOSD

[poutsaros]

I have CRIUS AIO PRO V2 with Extend Board and ublox LEA-6H GPS. I want to connect minimOSD and i really don';t know how, because all ports
(serial Port 1-3) are connected with the extend board. 
Your suggestions? 

[Oakie]

are you using all the serial';s on the extend board?

You can tap off the same port as the GPS if I recall

thanks for your suggestions,
I really don';t know if all cables are been used for the GPS on extend board i got nothing except GPS antenna plug in.

it is like this but without x bee.

Should i cut some wire?
Actualy what tx and rx does in OSD? is it important?
Is tx rx give information about battery, alt, atc on screen?

This might explain things a little.

Hey thanks man! I have seen this, is unfortunately my situation is different because as you see in my pictures serial ports 1-3 are taken by the extend board, only serial port 0 is available and that is labeled as Bluetooth port.

Looks like you will have to be cutting wires

[Oakie]

Would an AIOPIO board do the job instead? would break out better maybe then adding what you want, wont be as neat but would save you chopping wires if that makes you not wont to do it.

sorry did not think of this before.

Thanks Oakie, 
Unfortunately i have to chop wires again because serial 2 tx/rx should plug in the board directly
but is good to know there is an extra board for my crius,

I believe that crius extend board is useless if you don';t have xbee
i should buy only the GPS..  :huh

Im looking for an xbee for telemetry but is expencive its three time up for a 3RD robotics telemetry with usb.
