I have a Micro MinimOSD, it came with Arducam OSD loaded. I was able to get video out of it but no telemetry. I just get waiting for MAVlink heartbeats.
I have now used Arduino and successfully cleared the EEPROM. I then tried to load KV_TEAM_OSD as per Mochaboy YouTUBE video. If I try to verify or upload I get the below error.
When I power the board up through the FTDI the blue LED comes on and stays on, Geen LED flashes a few times then stays on. 
I have updated the fonts using Max7456_FONT_UPDATE and that seem to upload fine. I have nothing connected other than the FTDI while trying to get this to work.

Arduino: 1.6.3 (Windows 7), Board: "Arduino Pro or Pro Mini, ATmega328 (5V, 16 MHz)"

Hey guys I also got a micro minimosd and its doing the same thing.
The only way I can get telemetry on the osd is by connecting Droidplanner to my apm 2.6. As soon as droid planner connects the osd gets telemetry too.
I only have the TX from apm connected to RX of osd.  I'm thinking the protocol gets started by sending a command through the osd TX to RX of apm.

Use audrino 1.0.5 the new versions of Audrino program don't work well with the older code.
