ADSB - ShikOfTheRa/scarab-osd GitHub Wiki

This allows the display of data and a proximity warning for the nearest ADSB equipped aircraft for safe UAV flights. This uses the excellent uAvionix pingRX tiny ADSB receiver that weighs only 5 grams!!. It is designed specifically for UAV.

The OSD will show the following on the display

  • direction to the aircraft - relative to the UAV pilot's FPV feed
  • distance to the aircraft
  • altitude of the aircraft
