| Pin | Function |
|---|---|
| TX2 | UART Transmit 2 |
| RX2 | UART Receive 2 |
| GND | Ground |
| 5V0 | 5V Power Output |
5.2 Main Power and Video Output
This connection provides power to the unit and outputs the video signal. Ensure the power supply is within the specified voltage range (9V-26V).
| Pin | Function |
|---|---|
| CVBS | Analog Vhidhiyo Output |
| Power 9V-26V | Main Power Input (9V to 26V) |
| GND | Ground |
| OSD | Pa-Screen Display Control |
| V-BHASI | Voltage Bus (Power Output) |
Cherechedza: Always double-check your wiring before applying power to prevent damage to the camera or other electronic components.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Kubatidza
Once correctly wired, apply power within the specified voltage range (5V-20V for the camera module, 9V-26V for the main unit). The system should initialize, and thermal video output will be available via the CVBS (Analog) or MIPI-CSI/Walksnail Avatar (HD) interfaces.
6.2 Vhidhiyo Kubuda
The camera outputs a PAL video signal. Ensure your display device or video receiver is compatible with PAL format. The HD interface supports MIPI-CSI and Walksnail Avatar systems for high-definition thermal video.
6.3 Thermal Imaging
The camera utilizes an uncooled vanadium oxide detector to capture thermal radiation. The AI Image Enhancement feature helps improve the clarity and detail of the thermal feed. The latency is approximately 20ms, providing a responsive experience for FPV applications.
7. Kuchengeta
- Kuchenesa: Gently clean the camera lens and housing with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Kuchengeta: Chengetedza kamera munzvimbo inotonhorera, yakaoma, kure nechiedza chezuva uye tembiricha yakanyanyisa.
- Kuongorora: Gara uchiongorora tambo nezvikonikoni kuona chero zviratidzo zvekupfeka kana kukuvara.
8. Kugadzirisa matambudziko
- Hapana Simba: Check all power connections and ensure the supply voltage is within the specified range (9V-26V for the main unit). Verify that the power source is functioning correctly.
- Hapana Vhidhiyo Inobuda: Confirm that the video output cable (CVBS or HD interface) is securely connected to your display device or video receiver. Ensure your display is set to the correct input and supports PAL format for analog output.
- Hunhu Hwakashata Wemufananidzo: Check for any obstructions on the camera lens. Ensure the camera is operating within its specified temperature range (-20°C to 60°C).
- Chiratidzo Chinopindira: Inspect antenna connections for tightness and ensure they are not damaged. Check for potential interference sources in your operating environment.
9. Mazano emushandisi
- For optimal thermal performance, allow the camera a few moments to stabilize after powering on, especially in varying ambient temperatures.
- Experiment with different mounting positions on your drone or platform to find the best field of view and minimize vibrations.
- Keep the lens clean to ensure clear thermal imagery. Dust or smudges can significantly degrade performance.
- When using the HD interface, ensure your digital FPV system (e.g., Walksnail Avatar) is updated to the latest firmware for best compatibility and features.
