Okay, I have tried to figure this out, and just can't seem to find the answers.
Are there two different kinds of telemetry? I am trying to build my Y6 around an APM board, and I understand you can get some telemetry through an Xbee/MAVlink arrangement directly to Mission Planner.
I also see others without the APM getting telemetry through an additional screen attached to their radio. This requires a special board for the 9X, which for some reason I already bought.
Range for the Xbee sounds terrible, but it's required for Mission Planner to follow along with the mission. Range for the FrSky can be better, but it can't be read by Mission Planner, which seems pointless.
After all that, I still don't know if either of these telemetry systems actually transfer any kind of video. I don't think so, though... because I think the preferred method is to use a separate 5.8gz video transmitter/receiver.
Lastly, does the go pro supply the video feed? Or do people generally just install a separate camera for FPV?
