Sometimes it's not that it just goes badly, it's that you feel like you literally wasted a day on it.  If you said -

Flight cam mega-jello
APM not tuned
OSD GPS/Voltage/Amp info not updating
OSD switch having no effect

... then I think you got them all, well done.

I was attempting to have a little test of a camera Baggood sent me, as it was a tiny 12.5mm sq thing (this one http://www.banggood.com/600TVL-8_0MP-14-2_8mm-CMOS-FPV-170-Degree-Wide-Anlge-Lens-Camera-PALNTSC-p-984345.html?utm_source=bgforum&utm_medium=forum_direct&utm_campaign=0721ForumWaan&utm_content=AliClock&utm_design=AliClock) it does however, seem incredibly sensitive to vibration.  

Fair to say I'm not sure how much I really had because that was the only camera on board, and I had plenty of issues elsewhere to fix.

My main issue is not being able to get the OSD info on the screen without having the dataradio connecting.  I made up a Y cable so that GND/5v/TX goes to the minim GND/5v/Rx as spec'd, and after more reading I attempted to alter the S0 parameters, but these refused to take !  Anyone any suggestions for how to get this working, then please feel free to let me know !

I tried APM Autotune after this, it looked like it did a good job, but I landed saved the parameters and flew it again and it lolloped about like a drunken sailor.

Oh well, it's fun to tinker with something new
