AIO FPV Groundstation / Video-Tester for 5" LCD

thingiverse

This is an enclosure for a compact FPV monitor-receiver unit. It is supposed to be equipped with a common 5" monitor and the DIY rx5808-pro-OSD receiver: https://github.com/markohoepken/rx5808_pro_osd. To control the receiver, use the band scanner, etc., there are 3 holes to fit standard push buttons like SCI R13-24A1-05-BK or similar. As power on/off switch I am using Marquardt 1801.6115, but there should also be others with equivalent installation size available. The back cover features openings for a BEC- and a XT60-connector, so different types of batteries can be used, depending on what's lying around and still has some mAh inside :) Furthermore, I made the second video-input accessible, first with a 3-pin male-servo-connector (for direct connection of FPV cams to change settings, adjust focus, etc.) and second with a common cinch connector. There's also a provision to fit 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 the additional video-in-sockets both in parallel to the monitor's input with higher priority. That way it will show the signal from the internal receiver normally and automatically switch to the aux-input, if there's a signal detected. If you want the LCD settings to be easily available, you can use nylon bolts M3x15 as plungers. Insert them from the inside of the enclosure, so that their heads touch the LCD buttons when you press on the other end.
