So the Runcam Swift2 wires are not plug and play with Spektrum VTXs......forcing me to hard wire the micro-JST connections (J.S.T. means Japanese Solder-less Terminal there are many, many types of connectors and fittings not just the red two wire but I digress...) I had the Spectrum 600mWH and like the Flight time and voltage feature of the Runcam Swift 2. If I can not get this to work, in the end Jeremiah over at Stone Blue Airlines.com is sending me another VTX that will work. I like a project though . I feel like I am about to get a lesson in sparks.... |;->
I would like to power the whole system off of the flight battery's balance plug. Clean the power through a UBEC thence to the VTX and camera.
I have two questions cause I'm electrically dim....(yes pun intended....always)
1. How do I wire the male balance plug {4 pin} to the UBEC {2 wire}?
(-)Black to one pin i know but then there are 3 other pins and one (+)red wire going into the UBEC.
2. On the other side of the UBEC, three wires (-) (+) (w) the VTX has two wires for powerin (-) and (+). How do I wire that up?
