Firmware: BetaFlight Firmware (≥3.2.0),CleanFlight Firmware(≥2.1.0) ,
KISS Firmware (≥1.3-RC30) or INAV Firmware (≥1.7.3).
·
Any available UART interface on the Flight Controller
1. Connect the Runcam Thumb PRO with the UART interface of the Flight Controller
2. Make the Flight Controller recognize the Runcam Thumb PRO
For example, we connect the Runcam Thumb PRO to the UART 5 interface on the Flight
Controller: connect the Flight Controller to the computer, then open the con gurator
software of the Flight Controller. (Open up the con gurator that matches the rmware
you are running, Beta ight Con gurator for Beta ight, Clean ight Con gurator for
Clean ight). In the Peripherals column of the line UART 5 (on the Ports tab), select
Camera (RunCam Protocol) and click Save And Reboot.

to them
In the Flight Controller Con gurator, navigate to the Modes tab. There are new
CAMERA WI-FI, CAMERA POWER and CAMERA CHANGE modes
·
CAMERA POWER: start/stop the video. When in the OSD of the camera, this is used to
move to the next menu item.
·
CAMERA CHANGE MODE: Switch between the recording mode and the QR code
setting mode.
Assign any available channel to the function you need, for example:
·
Assign the AUX2 to the CAMERA POWER, range 1900-2100
·
Assign the AUX3 to the CAMERA CHANGE MODE, range 1900-2100
