چمتو کول

Follow these steps to properly set up your RunCam Hybrid 2 camera:

  1. فزیکي نصب: Mount the 19mm camera module into your drone or vehicle frame. The compact design allows for direct integration into micro FPV setups.
  2. د تارونو نښلول: Refer to the wiring diagram below for correct connections.
    • VCC+ (5-20V): Connect to a stable DC power source within the specified voltage لړ. Warning: Do not directly power with a 4S battery or higher, as this can cause overvoltage and damage the camera.
    • GND: د ځمکې سره وصل کړئ.
    • ویډیو: Connect to your FPV video transmitter (VTX) for analog video output.
    • TX/RX: Connect to a UART port on your flight controller for remote control functionality and firmware updates.
  3. Micro SD Card Insertion: Insert a formatted Micro SD card (FAT32 format, U3 speed class recommended for 2.7K60/1080P120, U1 for other resolutions) into the designated slot. Ensure the card is inserted correctly to avoid data corruption.

  • No FPV Video Output:
    • Check the video signal cable connection from the camera to your VTX and from the VTX to your goggles/monitor.
    • Confirm that the TV mode (NTSC/PAL) setting on the camera matches your display device. This can be adjusted via QR code settings.
    • Ensure the VTX is powered and functioning correctly.
  • Recording Errors / Corrupted Files:
    • ډاډ ترلاسه کړئ چې مایکرو SD کارت FAT32 ته فارمیټ شوی.
    • Use a high-speed Micro SD card (U3 or higher for 4K/high frame rate recording).
    • Try formatting the SD card again or using a different, known-good SD card.
    • Check the SD card slot for any debris or damage.
  • QR Code Settings Not Applying:
    • Ensure the QR code is clearly visible and well-lit when scanning.
    • Hold the QR code steady in front of the camera lens until the settings are confirmed.
    • Verify that you are using the official RunCam app for generating QR codes.
  • UART Control Not Working:
    • Check TX/RX wiring between the camera and the flight controller.
    • Verify UART settings in your flight controller firmware (e.g., Betaflight) are correctly configured for camera control.
    • Ensure the correct protocol is selected in the flight controller software.
