Runcam Setup
|
||||
--------------------------------
|
||||
## So you just bought a Runcam WiFi link? Great! This guide will help you to set it up.
|
||||
|
||||
The Runcam WiFi link and OpenIPC is still under development, so it's
|
||||
possible this guide will soon be outdated.
|
||||
|
||||
Issue date: 01 October 2024
|
||||
|
||||
## What you will need:
|
||||
|
||||
- INAV 7.1.2
|
||||
|
||||
- Flight Controller: In this example, Speedybee f405 WING APP was
|
||||
> used.
|
||||
|
||||
- Runcam WiFiLink + Android Ground station
|
||||
|
||||
- A working PC/laptop computer with an ethernet port
|
||||
|
||||
- USB C cable\
|
||||
> A fairly modern Smartphone with Android 13 or 14 installed. The
|
||||
> smartphone should have a good processor ie. Snapdragon
|
||||
|
||||
- Internet connection
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Hardware Setup
|
||||
|
||||
a) Connect the antennas to Runcam.
|
||||
|
||||
b) Connect the 4 cable to UART on Spedybee dedicated to connecting
|
||||
> digital VTX's use the image below as a guide.\
|
||||
> **Attention:** the cable color codes will match only on one end.
|
||||
> Double check your wiring (gnd to gnd, vcc to vcc, etc)
|
||||
|
||||
c) Insert a formatted micro SD card into the Runcam. The slot is on the
|
||||
> bottom of the unit, when the fan faces up.
|
||||
|
||||
d) Connect an Ethernet cable supplied with Runcam to the device.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. INAV Setup.
|
||||
|
||||
a) Connect your flight controller through a USB C to a computer that
|
||||
> has INAV configurator installed
|
||||
|
||||
b) In the Ports tab, set up MSP Display port as per image below. Note:
|
||||
> if you are using a different FC then in this example, you might
|
||||
> need to chose a different
|
||||
> UART.{width="10.822916666666666in"
|
||||
> height="4.354166666666667in"}
|
||||
|
||||
c) In the configuration tab, make sure Telemetry and OSD are enabled
|
||||
|
||||
> {width="2.8645833333333335in"
|
||||
> height="3.837878390201225in"}
|
||||
>
|
||||
> f\) Set up OSD in OSD tab. Enable and arrange all the information as
|
||||
> you wish. Set Video Format to AVATAR.

|
||||
> height="1.6400962379702537in"}
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Runcam Setup
|
||||
|
||||
a) Insert an empty, formatted micro SD into the runcam device. The card
|
||||
> pads need to face the board. The slot for the micro SD can be on
|
||||
> the 'inside' of the board so you might need to disassemble it to
|
||||
> put the card in.
|
||||
|
||||
b) When you first power up your runcam, the device will create a 'user'
|
||||
> file and a 'gs.key' file. Take the SD card out from your runcam
|
||||
> and copy the GS.key file into your android device. You can do it
|
||||
> easily using ie. google drive.
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. OpenIPC Configurator setup
|
||||
|
||||
OpenIPC configurator is a useful tool to change many different settings
|
||||
on your camera that runs OpenIPC firmware.
|
||||
|
||||
a) Download and install the latest version of
|
||||
> [[Putty]{.underline}](https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/)
|
||||
|
||||
b) Download the [[OpenIPC
|
||||
> configurator]{.underline}](https://github.com/OpenIPC/configurator/releases)
|
||||
> and install it
|
||||
|
||||
c) Setting up IP\
|
||||
> -Connect your runcam to your computer's Ethernet port with the
|
||||
> Ethernet cable provided by Runcam\
|
||||
> - Open up a windows file browser, scroll down on the left bar and
|
||||
> left click on Network, select properties.\
|
||||
> - Select change adapter settings\
|

> {width="4.0625in"
|
||||
> height="4.729166666666667in"}
|
||||
|
||||
d) On the configurator, enter IP address: 192.168.1.10 and press
|
||||
> connect
|
||||
|
||||
e) Refer to [[this
|
||||
> Readme]{.underline}](https://github.com/OpenIPC/configurator/blob/master/README-manual.md)
|
||||
> for setting up OSD
|
||||
|
||||
f) Set up all the settings. There are too many to go through them all
|
||||
> here.
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Android Ground station
|
||||
|
||||
a) Download [[Pixel Pilot
|
||||
> Apk]{.underline}](https://github.com/OpenIPC/PixelPilot/releases)
|
||||
> file from github, straight into your phone.
|
||||
|
||||
b) Go into Android file browser, find that file and install it.
|
||||
|
||||
c) Open the Pixel Pilot app, and tap at the gear icon in top left
|
||||
> corner
|
||||
|
||||
d) Set up: Channel: 161
|
||||
|
||||
e) Connect the external wifi adapter with the phone through a USB to
|
||||
> USB C adapter. The adapter from runcam can be faulty so if your
|
||||
> WFB service doesn\'t start, try a different adapter. It needs to
|
||||
> be OTG (on the go) adapter.
|
||||
|
||||
f) Connect antennas to your external WiFi adapter.
|
||||
|
||||
g) Press the gear icon, then press GS.key, then navigate to the GS.key
|
||||
> file you have copied over from the sd card. Select that file.
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Running the video stream
|
||||
|
||||
a) Turn on the App
|
||||
|
||||
b) Power on your aircraft. The Runcam should start by itself and the
|
||||
> fan should be spinning.
|
||||
|
||||
c) After 12-14 seconds you should see on your phone the video from your
|
||||
> aircraft.
|
||||
|
||||
## Mirroring the camera:
|
||||
|
||||
The default camera orientation is so that the top of the video is where
|
||||
the cable is.
|
||||
|
||||
If you prefer the cable on the bottom, do the following steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1) Take the micro SD card out from your Runcam
|
||||
|
||||
2) Connect the micro SD card to your computer/laptop
|
||||
|
||||
3) Use Notepad to open the file 'User'.
|
||||
|
||||
4) Use the following settings:\
|
||||
> Mirror = True\
|
||||
> Flip = True
|
||||
|
||||
5) Save the file
|
||||
|
||||
6) Put the micro SD back into the camera
|
||||
|
||||
## Adding audio
|
||||
|
||||
1) Make sure you have the latest [[Pixel
|
||||
> pilot]{.underline}](https://github.com/OpenIPC/PixelPilot/releases)
|
||||
> installed
|
||||
|
||||
2) Install Win SCP to connect to your camera
|
||||
|
||||
3) Connect your camera with ethernet cable and power it on ( use a 3s
|
||||
> battery or a 12V power source
|
||||
|
||||
4) Open WinSCP and connect to your camera
|
||||
> {width="6.708333333333333in"
|
||||
> height="4.583333333333333in"}
|
||||
|
||||
5) Go to: etc folder
|
||||
|
||||
6) Open majestic.yaml file with notepad
|
||||
|
||||
7) Scroll down and make sure 'audio' section is as below. You can just
|
||||
> edit it like a text file.\
|
||||
> {width="2.4270833333333335in"
|
||||
> height="1.3333333333333333in"}
|
||||
|
||||
8) Save the file and close the winscp
|
||||
|
||||
9) Test if audio in pixel pilot app works.\
|
||||
> \
|
||||
> At the time of writing this Audio works, but it's not being
|
||||
> recorded in the mp4 file.
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting:
|
||||
|
||||
**There is no video on my android device.**
|
||||
|
||||
> Make sure the GS.key file was properly set up. (see point 3 c))
|
||||
|
||||
There is still no video
|
||||
|
||||
> Check if the WiFi card gets hot when Runcam is on. If it's cold, that
|
||||
> means the WiFi broadcast isn't running.
