- Supply 5V to the gluonpilot board using a switched voltage regulator
- Used to measure the battery voltage
- Supply 3V3 to the XBee module
- Supply battery voltage (12V) to the camera)
OSD chip
- Camera in (a solder jumper allows you to use the 5V or battery to power the camera)
- TX out (a solder jumper allows you to use the 5V or battery to power the video transmitter)
XBee socket (not recommended using powerful XBee modules)

Both the bare PCB and the assembled module will soon be offered in the webshop!
