0 Got a new runcam swift 2 and it has a built in osd but i struggle how to connect it to naze32.. I used to use a minimosd but now that the runcam can give me the battery info i think i dont need it anymore, so i think i will have to solder it straight to the vbat + off the naze32 and the other cables will go straight to the vtx. But the problem is that i already have the vbat conenction in use on naze32 from pdb straight to them. Plus is it possilble to give the camera straight power from the pdb?
Thanks in Advance.

If you run straight lipo voltage to power it, you will get your voltage displaying the current lipo voltage. If you power the camera with a voltage other than the lipo, you will need to also wire the VBAT on the camera to get lipo voltage.
VBAT just means battery voltage. You can get it anywhere, pdb, piggy back off the VBAT on FC, straight from lipo....
There is not current draw you need to worry about, it just measure the lipo voltage.
