· Firmware: BetaFlight Firmware (≥3.2.0),CleanFlight Firmware(≥2.1.0) ,

KISS Firmware (≥1.3-RC30) or INAV Firmware (≥1.7.3).

· Any available UART interface on the Flight Controller

1. Connect the RunCam Hybrid with the UART interface of the Flight C ontroller

2. Make the Flight Contr oller rec ognize the RunCam Hybrid

For example, we connect the RunCam Hybrid to the UART 5 interface on the Flight Controller: connect the Flight Controller to the computer, then open the conﬁgurator software of the Flight Controller. (Open up the conﬁgurator that matches the ﬁrmware you are running, Betaﬂight Conﬁgurator for Betaﬂight, Cleanﬂight Conﬁgurator for Cleanﬂight). In the Peripherals column of the line UART 5 (on the Ports tab), select Camera (RunCam Protocol) and click Save And Reboot.

3. Instructions of the functions of the camera and assigning transmitter channels to them

In the Flight Controller Congurator, navigate to the Modes tab. There are new CAMERA WI-FI, CAMERA POWER and CAMERA CHANGE modes

· CAMERA POWER: start/stop the video. When in the OSD of the camera, this is used to

move to the next menu item.

· CAMERA CHANGE MODE: Switch between the recording mode and the QR code

setting mode.

Assign any available channel to the function you need, for example:

· Assign the AUX2 to the CAMERA POWER, range 1900-2100

· Assign the AUX3 to the CAMERA CHANGE MODE, range 1900-2100
