New Kakute F4 build - No Video
#1
I just built a new quad and tested the video which did not work. Don't know what's wrong. Can someone inspect this build photo and let me know if you see something wrong? 
I'm using:
  • Kakute F4 AIO (v1)
  • Flysky X6B 2.4G 6CH i-BUS PPM PWM Receiver for AFHDS
  • Runcam Swift 2
  • SPEDIX 20A ESC - LITE DSHOT 600 BLHELI_S
  • EACHINE TX526 VTX
Much appreciated!!!

See attached for hi-res images.

Looks like the soldering work is decent and everything is going to the correct place. Have you tried the camera on another rig?

Yes. Popped the camera onto another rig and it works perfectly. Seems to be in the FC or vTX. The video goes through the FC. I don’t know if I’m missing something in the setup of one of them or if one is defective. Was hoping it was just a misconfiguration and not a failure. All parts are brand new.

Hmm... I'm not even sure what the button does exactly, but did you check the "vtx" checkbox under the configuration tab? If you can validate the camera, then it's probably good unless it's not being fed enough juice. I would try and do the same with the vtx if possible. Put it on another build to test.

Everything appears to be wired correctly. Are you able to scan for frequency on your VRX? If yes, try it. The frequency might be off from the one you actually picked.

try connecting the camera signal wire and the VTX signal wire, see if that works?
that would allow you to rule out whether it's the FC or the VTX that isn't working.

This is embarrassing. The problem is the new vtx is set to not transmit by default. Doh!

Works now.

Nice!! Don't feel bad man. Just goofed on hooking up my Split 2 by putting TX to TX and the same for RX. Apparently, if I had read more carefully, they cross. Lol
