I'm going to show you how to set up one of the coolest new features in Betaflight 3.2: camera control. With this feature, you can operate the OSD menu of your FPV camera from your transmitter. NO MORE TINY JOYSTICKS to plug in in the field.
THIS IS A GAME CHANGER. Now you don't need to find the "best camera settings" for every situation. You can just tweak brightness and contrast and etc. as need be.
Thanks to Andrey Mironov (diehertz) for being the primary developer of this feature.
When choosing a capacitor, use 1 to 10 microfarad if you are using software PWM. If using hardware PWM (the default), use 0.1 microfarad.

Today I took apart my quad to install a frysky RX for my new radio and I put in a better VTX. While I was at it I wired up Camera Control on my F4 micro Omnibus. I followed all the steps and wired to led then cleared the resource and assigned it and now its working. Thanks alot for your video. I cut the cable from my old OSD device and used the wires and connector to wire in the Camera control. Now I dont need that silly thing ever again. When I first got my Foxeer i setup the camera following Mr. Steel's camera setup video. But now that I can change things on the fly I need to play with it more and learn about all the setting and see how lighting effects them. I also focused my camera when i had the quad apart and I have nice clear image.

LED_STRIP was on C08. Make sure to release LED_STRIP first then set CAMERA_CONTROL to CO8. Check by typing RESOURCE LIST to make sure CAMERA_CONTROL is the only resource on C08.

Works with the PPM pad (B14) on the 20mm FC from HGLRC, called micro F4, the whole stack is called XJB F428. It is used for instance in the XJB145 craft, and it works with the camera in there, the XJB-ELF that is a rebranded runcam micro swift. Just wanted to share. Btw, the FC creates a PWM signal with ~660kHz frequency that the R-C lowpass filter smoothes into an analog voltage with steps of about 0.4V. I observed following functions: 0V-down, 0.4V-right, 0.8V-up, 1.2V -left, 1.6V-enter.

My FC already has a cam control pad so I'm not sure if I need the resistor and cap.

Might I recommend Adafruit Silicone Hookupwire as well as a recommendation. I've found that the wire kits like you have, have very thick insulation, which is great for most things. The problem I run into with that type of wire is that if you want to get into crimping your own connectors, the type you show is too thick, whereas the adafruit hookup wire is the same as the thickness that comes with the connectors themselves.

For anyone with a CL Racing F4 board and Runcam Eagle 2 trying this, I have it working but can't explain how - hope this helps others. OSD cable wired to LED strip as Josh suggests, 450ohm resistor between board and camera in the OSD line. LED strip pin is B08, Camera control is pre assigned to B09 - not sure the pin that corresponds to on the board however.... It only works if you DON'T remap the LED strip pin, just do nothing in the CLI and try it first. I tried it that way and it worked, then I was worried I maybe hadn't done it correctly and followed Josh's video for remapping the LED strip pin to Camera Control and removing anything else that may be sharing that pin also. It stopped working when I did that and I had to revert back to my original configuration to get it functional again.

Actually, you can just resolder the usb back onto your flight controller. Press it back on, then resolder the left and right side to keep it in place. Then, usually, you'll need to put the tiniest bit of solder on each of the almost nano-sized little pins on the usb plug so they connect all the way where they lay down on the board. I admit the first time I did this (w/ a shitty F3 Omnibus clone) it was delicate work, but you won't have to get another FC if you succeed. Remember, those tiny usb pins need very little solder to get them connected to the tiny FC pads. Good luck!

anyone had the issue with the eagle 2 flicking through menus too quickly, have tried changing the key delay but this doesn't see to affect the speed of exiting the menu. The trouble i have is trying to exit the menu it quickly bounces back into it, trying to do it on the clf4s no caps etc

Hey JB, I just put a Helio Spring in one of my rigs to test and it already has the camera control built in...solder the wire to the correct pad on the fc and it just works, amazing!!! Playing around for a little while I also discovered how to find the menu to turn on/off the osd that is integrated into the camera itself (throttle stick mid, pitch forward) and how to move my pilot name around (throttle stick mid, pitch back) but I have yet to figure out how to get to the runcam swift 2 presets, do you know how to do this, or if it is even possible?

Ugh....nvm, I am a dummy! The Runcam Swift 2 doesn't have presets....it's the MICRO Swift 2 that has them lol. No wonder why I couldn't find them haha

i'm not sure how you could accomplish this but if i google "joshua bardwell website" fpvknowitall doesn't even come up in the top 2 pages.. i don't think your website is getting the exposure it deserves.. is there anyway to change how google search tags or keyword searches work? love everything you do!!

Hi, Joshua Bardwell! Congratulations for your work! I'm subscribed to the channel and I really admire your videos! I wonder if it is possible to use this resistor in the LED pad for RUNCAM together with micro miniOSD that I use to configure PIDs? Thank you.

How about old camera like Foxeer XAT600M it has a different connection. Great videos they help a lot.

Great video Joshua! I'd like to know about this also. The Foxeer XAR600M has pin out 5-22v, GND, VID, OSD. Would you just follow the same steps just without the need to connect an additional ground wire?

Using the ARTOWER F4 PLUS with an led strip do you know of another pin or tab to access for camera control? I have 2 uart connectors not in use. I don't know if they have timers.

UART can't be used for camera control. Spare motor output would be the other main ones to go for.

Joshua.. great video as always.. i know you have the Betaflight F3 FC. Have you confirmed or tried this on thay board yet to the led_ strip pin? Also you say 150-600ohm resistor. How do you know which one to use? Or you just pick any one between that range? Im using the Foxeer Arrow V3 full size cam with BF F3 FC. Thanks

@JoshuaBardwell 6 жыл бұрын
Lower is better but any resistor value in that range that you happen to have will be fine. I haven't used BFF3 but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Hello Joshua. First; I Love Your Videos! Thank You very much. You are my Teacher. I have a Question: Is it possible to control anything with a Board (PIKOBLXevo) without a in build OSD Chip? I think not. but maybe you have a trick to do it.

Hey Josh, do I need to add a capacitor if my FC has a cam_c pin already, it's a cl racing f4s.

If it has the CAM_C pin you don't need any additional circuitry.

im using a dys f4pro and v3 foxeer arrow, 150 ohm resistor . I set in cli , led 1 that was b05 moved it to a free resource b06 .. THen i put in camera control into where LED1 was on b05 all saved all good. Checked the other trouble shoots with resistence and etc good. BUt nothing no menu when prompt on sticks. not sure what to do now .

Watching this in 2024, my how things have advanced lol. Sounds like I just need to solder the osd wire to cam pad, and maybe the secondary ground as well? Not sure if it’s necessary… gunna have to do some tinkering
