The Matek OSD/PDB is a great one. |

Built in OSD has direct access to all internal data, so wouldn't it speed up development if you'd like to display some new data? Also, with all that extra CPU power, can you do graphic OSD same way or similar as in Brain FPV? |

Modular designs will always be better than all-in-one. Some people use an OSD, some don't, so if you made a board with a built-in OSD the cost would go up and your target consumer group would automatically shrink. Look at BrainFPV, it's not as popular as other f4 boards.
I'm really interested in 20x20 version, but please make it as light as possible (thin PCB). Considering the micro quad boom at the moment IMO it would sell better than a 30x30 board. |

Nobody's going to build a 3 board stack these days so integrating the OSD is a no-brainer. People that don't like OSD's can either disable it or disable all display data but still use goggles and transmitter to tune pid's at the field instead of having to use a laptop. As far as people going bananas for the micro's, after a month or two buying motors, most people will stop and not go back unless they're cherry-picking points for multiGP. |

As for the integrated OSD, it's not that I'm against OSD's, I actually think they're great and use them in all of my builds. That said, they fail and get hot, because they pull more current than a flight controller. Quality OSD's are also busy, and I personally like a simple FC layout, and I know many folks do as well. OSDs are too personalized imo to place on a flight controller. Some folks like them with all the bells and whistles while others want VBat & a call sign. For $7 I can get an OSD that is better than many costing $35, and it's so tiny it fits on the back of any FPV camera. Why include it on a good FC? |

At any rate, I'd like to get back to this board and when Jason thinks it will be available and if what features it'll have. Any more info on the timeline and features? I'd love to see it have lap tracking on both sides that's compatible with trackmate. |

I thought you were calling it the dragonfly? Did you opt for Nero because you are still fiddling while the drone burns?
