Holy cow the cable that came with the PSU looks like I co uld jump start my car with it (Joke) - is it necessary for that guage of wire?
Currently have a USB cable already routed in the plane...will it be sufficient?

we had to ship that one short term because of supply shortages, it's one gauge stronger than the one we ship normally. if it's too thick, send me a mail, we have the standard gauge wire back in stock, replacement is free of charge.

As long as we are on the wiring, I've seen bits and pieces of wiring these up.
Red from the TB-69 Camera should go to PSU?
All else to EzOSD INPUT
EzOSD Output to VTX except red- red goes to PSU Power.....?
I'm just tired and there's a million different schematics...

no, you basically wire the PSU between OSD and camera, or between OSD and video TX. Here's the rough idea:
Camera --------------- PSU ---- OSD -------------------------- VTx
or
Camera ------------------------- OSD ---- PSU ---------------- VTx
That is assuming you have a 5V Vtx, of course. The PSU is made so that current to one side is 12V, the current to the other side is 5V, regardless of what comes in through the power pins. The EzOSD will just pass through the power.
Thats how I wired everything in my zephyr. maybe it helps:
FPV killed my bank account
LOL Yours was the schematic I've been using so far...very good job on itOriginally Posted by egosession
Ooooh you have a rescue battery - do you hae the diode set up in it? - That'll be a next month thing after I've flown a few times..

Here is the modification you need if you want you second battery to supply both Camera and OSD. All you need to do is remove the diode in the PSU coming from you main supply and simply short it. This will increase slightly the efficiency and will allow for the second battery to supply both camera +Tx and OSD. However the second batter cannot have a higher voltage with respect to the your main supply. Ideally use a 4s for main supply and 3s for secondary. Then this works just fine.
That is what I'm doing, and it works fine. Just be careful that this way you dont have reverse polarity protection on your main connection anymore, so please double check the polarity of your connections!

I'm going to use this as a guide for wiring my plane. Thanks for posting it!
So the Lawmate 2.4ghz Vtx is powered from the EzOSD then?
That's where the confusion lies - I'd just soon wire the camera to the OSD, and run a cable to the Vtx ...
I'm assuming it's a 5v Vtx, Lawmate, came from Canada....via the UK LOL

OK and video runs through it as well then based on teh schematics and pics on team-blacksheep's site...think that's where my confusion also lay..
