Introduction of product

Introduction of Buttons

• When recording, slow flash corresponds to high battery power, and flash corresponds to low battery power
• If the camera is unresponsive press for 10 seconds to power off

Wiring

The KEY signal line can remotely control the camera through the flight control, please read the relevant precautions.

Power supply and remote control

The walnut camera uses two power supply modes: a built-in battery and a 5~25.2V external power supply. Supports remote control of the camera’s power on/off, start recording/stop recording. Take the commonly used flight controller Betaflight F405 as an example to illustrate how to configure the remote control to turn on/off the recording function. The wiring diagram is shown in the figure below, and the TX1 pin on the flight controller is used to control the recording on/off.

Enter the following blue fonts to configure the PINIO function of the TX1 pin.

• resource SERIAL_TX 1 NONE//Disable the serial port function of the TX1 pin
• resource PINIO 1 A09//Configure the TX1 pin (The example is A09 pin, different flight control pins are different, please fill in according to the actual) as PINIO function No. 1
• set pinio_box = 40,255,255,255 //Set the PINIO function range
• save //save configuration

Next, configure the PINIO function mapping between the remote controller and flight controller. In Betaflight Configuration, map the No. 1 PINIO function (ie USER1 in the figure below) to the AUX channel of the remote control.

The trigger mode is a low level trigger, the cursor from the yellow area to the white area and then to the yellow area is a trigger, the camera performs recording or stops recording.
