Flight Controller UART Control

Preparation

· 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 Thumb PRO with the UART interface of the Flight Controller

2. Make the Flight Controller recognize the Runcam Thumb PRO

For example, we connect the Runcam Thumb PRO to the UART 5 interface on the Flight Controller: connect the Flight Controller to the computer, then open the congurator software of the Flight Controller. (Open up the congurator that matches the rmware you are running, Betaight Congurator for Betaight, Cleanight Congurator for Cleanight). 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

4. Assign the channel to the switch of the controller

Please choose your Model on the controller, then access to the MIXER interface and assign the channel to the switch of the controller. Take opentx 2.2.0 for example, assign the channels CH5, CH6 and CH7 to SA, SB and SD respectively

5. Test

Power the Flight Controller and the Runcam Thumb PRO

· Set the SA to the bottom, the camera starts/stops the video

· Set the SD to the bottom, the camera switches among the two modes:

video and OSD setting mode
