Post by: Jeffwebster on August 16, 2014, 03:51:02 PM
Hi, been having problems setting up a boscam receiver with the transmitter, I am based in the midlands and wondered if any members live near by who would be willing to give some advice or meet up
Many thanks

Hi, I am in the midlands near Melton Mowbray, I now have the ezosd on the screen but no video, I have connected a gopro to the osd and the video is there for only a few sec, I have also wired the camera straight to the transmitter but still no video, so not sure what's going on, any help would be really appreciated

Jeff,

Jeff, Make sure any testing is done with the aerials in place on both the Transmitter and receiver as I have read lots who fry the VTX (transmitter)

I too had problems when setting up as the DIP switches are randomly set in the factory and the channels don't correspond between Vtx and receiver (Vrx)
I assumed if I set the DIP switches to the same formatting they would be on the same channel but it doesn't work out that way  :+
I checked the card with the packaging and finally got it working  ;)

Hi, thanks for all your advice, have sorted it out, it was the - black wire from the transmitter (G) had to be connected to the - on the video feed, i was seeing the osd And thought the video would be there too, how wrong can you be, but all running ok now, just waiting for some descent weather to try it out,
Thanks again for the advice
Jeff
