So quick homework check as I wait for my last few parts to come in. I've intentionally decided to make this build a little more technical and complicated.
I am going to try to hook up smartport telemetry and an external OSD (through my VTx) on my current build. With USB and Rx that means I have 1 more device than UARTs in theory...
So I know that when folks use the F1 controllers they shared the USB UART for extra communication like telemetry.
My thoughts:
Wire OSD to UART1, Smartport to UART2, and Rx to UART3, making sure that OSD is unpluggable when hooking up to USB?
Or... interestingly enough... there is a USB port on the VTX... does this mean I may be able to hook up to my FC though a passthrough on the VTx? I have a similar setup on the GT2 so I may give it a try.
Can someone check to make sure that all my assumptions above are correct? Obviously I'll be able to test most of this once I get the parts in but a certain amount of this will require soldering so I'd like to be sure I at least am sort of thinking correct before I get started on that stuff.
Parts involved (in case it's relevant to my question... note: 2 of the 3 are different from the previous plan in my build thread)
