How to connect the EagleTree OSD ?

I made 2 scheme’s to help you guys with the wiring (READ THE USERS MANUALS FIRST!!!) of the FPV stuff, one if you are using the Futaba T6EX radio and the other if you using a Futaba 7C radio without any head-tracking devices (The radio have to be in HELI MODE so you can pan and tilt the camera while throttle hold switch is on, how to program the radio will also be demonstrated in the guides section separately). If you are using a different brand of radio (must have HELI MODE) don’t worry the wiring principles are the same, the channel order may change a little bit, other then that everything should be the same.
I have the Futaba T6EX radio with the R617FS receiver, i was desperately looking for a head-tracker which would work with this 2.4 GHz 6CH radio . I found one which is compatible with all 2-6 channel Basic transmitters with PPM-INJECT technology and even the Futaba T6EX 2.4GHZ radio
Until it gets here no head-tracking for me, now i have to move the camera with the left stick until i get my new tracker.
Here is the scheme how to hook up the FPV stuff together if you are using a 6CH radio without head-tracker (the scheme shows how i did the wiring for my FPV EasyStar). When you click on the picture bellow it will open up the scheme in a new tab as a PDF so you will be able to zoom.

A little explanation.: To be able to program the OSD on the field via the on-screen menus two receiver input channels (Aux1/Up-Down and Aux2/Select) are required. Since i have only 6 channels available i shared the CH4 to control AUX2 and the PAN servo. It works, but if you have the 7C radio just use channel 7 for AUX2.
