if the control boards of these camera's give a different resistance depending on the button pressed then it can be re-purposed on your transmitter. When connected to a input that "reads" voltage like the input used for pots and the sticks then you can assign a value to the pressed button and use that board to control your flight controller. Yes you might have to add a second resistor to complete the "voltage divider".

Hey Joshua I am still having issues with my GepRC cinepro 4k, I have been trying to get the Tarsier camera to use camera controls, I even bought the 6 dollar caddx FC cable that I was told I needed to make it work I wired in the board as directed I have everything I need and it still does not work, what am I doing wrong. Any chance you can investigate and find out if I am doing something wrong or need something more. I mean I have the dongle that plugs into the board that the Caddx FC cable plugs into, and wired the Caddx Fc Cable as directed to the 5v power, the ground and to the RX and TX ensuring that the RX of the cable goes to the TX on the FC and the RX of the FC cable gors ton the TX on the board. Do the half throttle and to the right and nothing. I cannot figure what is wrong. Been trying to reach out toe both Caddx and GepRC but I guess the virus thing has them not returning tickets these days. Any chance you can help.

I know that the orignal solution (Resistor/CAP) uses the PWM to realise a poor mens DAC, but as you explained, this doesn't work very welll.

@JoshuaBardwell
6 жыл бұрын
No that's wrong. The board designer has done something incredible, but there is only so much he can do given the constraints of the hardware. The problem is that there is confusion over what the "camera control" feature is capable of doing. So people expect it to work 100% of the time with 100% of cameras, when that was never what was promised.
@cavemaneca

Joshua Bardwell so if I understand this properly, the feature uses an output from the flight controller in a way that it's not supposed to be used. So it's pretty finicky that it works at all, and this add-on board basically does it the correct way.

Thanks JB. Flew my first "problem free" FPV flight today after "setting" the vTX power to 200mW and having it STAY there. It defaults back to 25 mW without using the SET command. I found that out the hard way.

I've used this adapter with Foxeer Arrow Micro, Monster Mini, and Runcam Eagle and it works great. I kind of got the OSD pin to work for the Eagle than it stopped working randomly. So, to just avoid the hassle I wired up the adapter - had to change the timing a bit in the CLI and it works great. Can even enter the OSD menus (throttle center + pitch up). All on the JB F4 AIO and HolyBro F7

Damn I spent over an hour soldering and resoldering and making sure my wires were correct in no matter what I did, center the right joystick and flip the left joystick to the right side nothing. When I fire up the drone I got the you "Uart control" on the screen but nothing happened when I moved the left joystick. Oh my gosh this hobby is very frustrating but I won't let it beat me. I might just live without it

Hello Joshua, congrats for the great job you done with videos about drones technology. I have searched for information about the connection between a MatekF722mini with BF4.1.0 and a Caddx Turtle V2 with march2019 firmware (last one I could find), but I found very few about. First I would like to know if the serial communication via FC UART direct to the TX-RX pins on the Caddx is officially available and working. Second, if you have already test it (as you are the most reliable source of information I know - thanks to be here). And last, if you would be able to confirm the layout pins on the split board of the Caddx Turtle V2. I would to post here my wiring diagram, but I’m not sure if I can and how. Thanks FMO

Can this be accessed while the quad is armed? I kinda see myself flying, centering the right stick, at mid throttle, then do a crazy right yaw, and boom... no control.... or is it only available when disarmed?
@JoshuaBardwell
6 жыл бұрын
The way it used to work is, the camera control adapter would not enter camera-control mode when the quad was armed. If you arm with camera-control mode active then it might activate when you're in the air I'm not sure about this.

I keep having the problem of when I push to the right on the yaw stick, centered and all, it just plays the calibration tones and doesn’t do anything. No blue LED or nothing. Am I missing something?
@JoshuaBardwell
6 жыл бұрын
If the blue LED does not turn on on the board, then the board is not getting the command to turn on. If the beeper plays the tone, then the FC is trying to enable the feature. So you know the FC is set up with the feature enabled on the UART and the FC is reading the stick command. Check your wiring. TX to RX and RX to TX?

I have the micro eagle with the tx/Rx pin-outs.. The manual says to wire it directly to a an open uart. I tried that but I can't get the camera settings to come up. Do I need this board or is there something else I need to do. The quad is the hawk 5. Also I'm new to fpv and your channel has helped a lot. Thanks
@JoshuaBardwell

You do not need this board if the camera has TX/RX. You can connect directly to a UART on the FC. Make sure that TX on the cam goes to RX on the FC and vice versa. Also make sure that you have enabled Runcam Peripheral in the Ports tab for the UART you wired to. If you do those things and it still doesn't work make sure your endpoints go from 1000 to 2000 as shown in this video: kzitem.info/news/bejne/y6arz3-ZinxoY6g

I think you are seriously underestimating how difficult low-latency high def is. Look at Connex Prosight, who got as close as anybody has to a viable HD FPV solution. Ask yourself why so few people fly Prosight.

HD is not a necessity, they should work on standard-definition digital communication with proper channels and less duty-cycle, like Bruce Simpson does as a sideproject. It may have am added bonus of using existing cameras and goggles, just require a new VTX and VRX. Same or slightly better image quality with no analog noise, channel separation, low latency.

i wonder if the cameras that don't work fully with this device, like the caddx SDR1 in my case, if one or more of the 5 resistors on this little board could be swapped out with the ones from the osd board of the camera that its not fully working on to gain correct full control , if im right, "not sure" but im thinking this little board is just addressing the resistors just like a press on the original osd. id really like to know if someone has tried this. i know its trivial but would be nice if that would work.

Hi, my Camera Control dosnt work. Fc is thr Bardwell F4 with the softwar "CLRACINGF4 (CLR4) 4.0.6", cam is a Foxeer Falkor and solder the OSD to the Cam_C and the Gnd to the Gnd on the Fc. Set in the Cli resource CAMERA_CONTROL 1 B07 (changed from B09 to B07) camera_control_mode = SOFTWARE_PWM I tried it also with (HARDWARE_PWM) Have you an idea why it dosnt work?

You shouldn't need to remap or reconfigure anything to use CAM_C function with that FC. Why did you change the pin and etc? It comes from the factory ready to go. The first thing to do is try to make it work as it came.

Really cool piece of kit, but I'm also sad to see they're removing the old controller, instead of leaving it in and adding the UART in addition to the old controller. Removing it kinda screws anyone who is out of UART ports, which is easy to do between smartaudio, telemetry, and whatever else you throw at it

I think the issue with UARTs is going to go away in the future as we progress to F7 chips, but for now you're right it is a little unfortunate. Maybe Runcam will make a reverse-adapter that takes the old joystick input and outputs UART commands. Wouldn't that be hilarious.
