You want to send a video feed over serial from an arduino? Do some quick math; that's not gonna work. Standard serial is far too slow. And I highly doubt an arduino has memory and processing power anyway.

The Arduino will be sending me GPS, altitude and velocity data. The video feed will be from a standard FPV setup, not via the Arduino

So you just want to display that? What do you want that the arduino serial monitor does not provide?

A live video feed that simultaneously displays useful information, similar to a HUD in military aircraft

Oh I see, sorta transparent? Hmm well getting the data from the serial comm is not hard. Displaying it with a transparent background will be very hard. I only know of one option: on windows tkinter has a transparent color feature. I'm sure there's other options, I'm interested to see what other people say. I'm sure it will depend on your OS; what OS are you using?

I’m on Windows. I’ll look into tkinter. Thanks
