AIO FPV Groundstation / Video-Tester for 5" LCD

thingiverse

This is an enclosure for a compact FPV monitor-receiver unit. It comes equipped with a standard 5-inch monitor and the DIY rx5808-pro-OSD receiver: https://github.com/markohoepken/rx5808_pro_osd. To control the receiver, use the band scanner or other features; three holes are provided to fit standard push buttons like SCI R13-24A1-05-BK or similar models. To turn on and off the power, I'm using Marquardt 1801.6115 switches, but there should also be others with equivalent installation size available. The back cover has openings for a BEC connector and an XT60 connector, so different types of batteries can be used, depending on what's available and still has some mAh left. Furthermore, I made the second video input accessible, first through a 3-pin male servo connector (for direct connection to FPV cams to change settings or adjust focus) and secondly with a common cinch connector. There's also provision for fitting a D=12mm piezo buzzer for a low-voltage alarm. And last but not least, there are two slots for a battery strap and a 5.1mm bore on the bottom to cut a 1/4" UNC thread to bolt it onto a camera tripod. Connect both additional video input sockets in parallel to the monitor's input with higher priority. This will show the signal from the internal receiver normally, and automatically switch to the aux input if there is a detected signal. If you want the LCD settings to be easily accessible, you can use nylon bolts M3x15 as plungers. Insert them from inside the enclosure so that their heads touch the LCD buttons when pressed on the other end.
