SKYLARK OSD V4.0 USER MANUAL New generation of Skylark OSD is developed for the FPV (First Person View) enthusiasts. SKYLARK OSD V4.0 is equipped with a multifunctional interface which is easy to use and stable. It offers extensive scalability, affordability and reliability. The interface layout is simple and intuitive, and can be switched between different display modes. Compact hardware design and powerful processors provide convenient upgrades.
MAIN CONNECTION www.SkylarkFPV.
INSTALLATION GUIDE CONFIGURATION A three-way switch is equipped, and each way corresponds to 1 display mode. If the channel for transfer switch is not connected, details-mode would be displayed by default. The current sensor and voltage detector are tuned before delivery, if there are relatively high deviations, please contact us for the tuning software. DISPLAY MODES There are 3 display modes: details-mode, simple-mode and alarm-mode.

Simple-mode Simple-mode would only display the common and critical indication information, including speed, returning angle & direction, horizontal distance corresponding to the point of departure, voltage, electricity consumption and remaining electricity, which are shown in the following diagram. Same as Details-mode, when the GPS signal is not strong enough, speed, altitude, returning angle & direction, horizontal distance corresponding to the point of departure would be flashing.
Alarm-mode The default Alarm-mode would not display any information, it would only display the corresponding warning information and flash. When the GPS signal is not strong enough, speed, altitude, returning angle & direction, horizontal distance corresponding to the point of departure would be displayed and flash. When the signal becomes fine, the information would disappear automatically. When it is under voltage because of not enough electricity (for example, the voltage of 3S battery is lower than 10.
DISPLAYED INFORMATION DESCRIPTION Latitude Longitude Numbers of satellites Description N is North Latitude, S is South Latitude, Unit is Degree Display Range 90.0N~0~90.0S E is East Longitude, W is West Longitude, Unit is Degree 180.0E~0~180.0W GPS Numbers of GPS satellite that can be received signal 0~9; 9 would be currently.
AUTOPILOT SECTION NSTALLATION FOR THE HARDWARE 1． Connection a. Install the sensor GPSINS horizontally. The cable connector should be placed toward the nose. b.
System would detect the equipments that connected to the OSD control board automatically, then the software & hardware version would be displayed. Meanings of the information shown above: HW HW44.0 & SW SW11.0 .0: represents hardware and software version are 4.0 and 1.0 respectively. Logger Logger: represents if the data logger is detected by the system. It flashes if the data logger is not detected. /INS GPS GPS/INS /INS: represents if the GPS/INS is detected by the system.
Select among the above items with the help of “Autopilot” channel switch, enter the corresponding menu with the “Switch” channel switch. Meaning of the menu: Fly ly: Enter the flying mode. If no action is taken, it would enter the flying mode automatically after a while. OSD OSD: the OSD-related configuration page, including units, warnings, RSSI calibration etc. Enter the OSD page when setting is needed. Autopilot utopilot: the Autopilot-related configuration page. B. B...Enter Autopilot menu.
The interface would display the real-time steering gear input values, with the range of -100 to +100. After calibration, near 0 (< (+-5) is acceptable) would be shown when joystick is put in the center position. Calibrate the “aileron aileron”” channel channel: Select the item of “Aile” with the help of “Autopilot” channel switch, enter the menu with the “Switch” channel switch. At this moment, the figures after “Aile” would be flashing, which means it is under calibration.
Stability:Stabilization parameters Roll_Aile:set the sensitivity for the aileron. If the aircraft vibrates in Balanced Mode Mode, then user should tune down the corresponding value. If user cannot get sufficient control for the aircraft, tune up the value.. Pitch_Elev:set the elevator sensitivity, adjustment principle is same as above. Yaw_Roll:set the sensitivity for the yaw. If the aircraft vibrates in Balanced Mode Mode, then user should tune down the corresponding value.
turning deviation would be corrected by 1 degree of rolling angle. MaxPitch MaxPitch: Set the maximum pitching angle. If the climbing ability is not enough, then user should tune up the value. Semi-Automatic Mode: This value represents the maximum value that joystick can achieve. When joystick is put in the center position, that means the pitching angle is 0. When joystick is put at the lowest position (reach the maximum value of 1000), that means the aircraft would climb in the MaxPitch angle.
FIELD TEST A: Set the aircraft in Manual Mode B: Adjust the travel and direction for the steering gear C: Check the actual tilting angle is consistent with the displayed value in open area. D: Enter Attitude Control Mode Mode, check if the feedback direction is correct. If not, enter PWM menu to confirm the joystick and display direction are consistent.
The three-way switch of “Autopilot” represents: is displayed on OSD, which is the Manual Mode is displayed on OSD, which is the Attitude Control Mode is displayed on OSD, which is the Return Flight Mode is displayed on OSD, which is the Waypoints Mode If there are 4 or more GPS satellites and the take-off position has not been locked, user will find the flashing icon in Return Flight Mode. If the GPS is not connected or there are less than 4 satellites, user will find the flashing icon .
