4. Kurulum ve Kurulum

4.1 Montaj

The RunCam Split 4 main board features 25.5x25.5mm mounting holes, making it suitable for installation on "whoop style" flight controllers commonly found in micro drones. Ensure secure mounting to prevent vibration and damage during flight.

4.2 Kablolama

Connect the camera to your flight controller according to the wiring diagram provided with your drone or flight controller. The camera requires a DC 5-20V power supply. For UART control, connect the camera's UART pins to a free UART port on your flight controller.

4.3 MicroSD Kart Kurulumu

Insert a high-speed microSD card (Class 10 or higher, U3 recommended) into the designated slot on the main board. Ensure the card is inserted correctly and securely. A loose SD card can lead to recording interruptions.

5. Kullanım Talimatları

5.1 Cihazı Açma ve Başlatma

Once properly installed and powered, the camera will initialize. The FPV feed should appear on your goggles or monitor. The camera is designed to automatically save video in case of sudden power loss, protecting your footage.

5.2 Video Kaydetme

Video recording can be initiated and stopped via UART control using your radio transmitter, after configuring it in Betaflight. Refer to your flight controller's documentation and Betaflight setup guides for detailed instructions on mapping camera control functions to your radio switches.

5.3 OSD Menü Gezintisi

The On-Screen Display (OSD) menu allows you to adjust camera settings. This menu can be accessed and navigated using your radio transmitter via UART control. Settings include aspect ratio (16:9 or 4:3) and TV mode (NTSC or PAL).

5.4 GyroFlow Stabilization

The camera supports GyroFlow for post-stabilization of recorded footage. This feature utilizes the camera's built-in gyroscope data to produce smoother video. Ensure your GyroFlow software is up-to-date for optimal performance.

7. Sorun Giderme

• FPV yayını yok:
  • Check all wiring connections, especially power and video signal lines.
  • Ensure the camera is receiving the correct voltage (DC 5-20V).
  • Verify that your FPV receiver and goggles are on the correct frequency and channel.
• Recording Issues (e.g., stops mid-flight):
  • Ensure the microSD card is securely seated in its slot. A loose card can cause recording interruptions.
  • Use a high-speed microSD card (Class 10, U3 recommended).
  • Format the microSD card regularly.
  • Check for sufficient free space on the microSD card.
• Kamera Aşırı Isınıyor:
  • Some heat generation is normal during operation, especially with 4K recording.
  • Ensure adequate airflow around the camera and main board, particularly if enclosed.
• Video Kalitesi Sorunları:
  • Kamera lensini temizleyin.
  • Check for proper lighting conditions.
