Programming Setup

 


 


Flash firmware

For MWOSD versions above 1.6.8 will need to use the new Google extension (not free) to configure osd settings.

Two options can be used for flash the firmware:

  • Using Arduino and latest sources from MWOSD project.

  • Using the ConfigTool from the previous MiniOPOSD project and use .hex file.
