65 I would wire the camera into PWR/GND/CAM. Nothing more really needed there. The VTX will be wired into PWR/GND/VTX/SA. This way the camera is powered and the signal from the cam will be processed through the FC's OSD chip. The VTX will be powered, the VTX connection will be the "VIDEO OUT" from the FC with the OSD overlay. The SA connection is for controlling the VTX (power, channel and freq) through your radio's stick commands and also for BetaFlight/INAV.
Not sure which receiver you are trying to wire up. I fly Crossfire and recently ELRS. The picture attached is representative of how I would wire things up.

0 That was tons of help! thank you so much. I am currently wiring a receiver in that only has ground, power, and a yellow wire which I am unsure of. I have soldered it into both the tx3 and it didn't work and the rx1 and it didn't work. I think maybe I am not binging it correctly? There is the button on the FC in the middle but when I press and hold it, nothing seems to happen. I sometimes get a TELEMETRY LOST voice prompt from my TX12 so I am thinking they are communicating, just something is missing. How do I find which type of signal I need to use (i.e. FRSky, etc).

65 What receiver are you using? If it only has one wire, this is generally an SBUS if there is only one lead besides power and ground.

65 23-Jan-2022, 09:36 PM (This post was last modified: 23-Jan-2022, 09:42 PM by kaitylynn.) So the YELLOW wire is your SIG (in this case SBUS) wire and it should be wired to the SBUS pad on the FC. The F7 based boards do not require messing with inversion, just wire it in and and set RX1 as your SERIAL in your PORTS tab of BetaFlight Configurator.
In your BFC Receiver tab, select SERIAL in your mode tab and SBUS in your Provider tab.
