118 Camera control works on the R4 pad and yes that is the cli command:
resource camera_control 1 A01
The rest of the camera control settings should work on default but depending on your camera those may need some changes. But try defaults to see if they work first.
For SmartAudio, you need to set the correct TX port you soldered the SA wire to tbs smart audio under peripherals.
Next you need to set up the VTX tables in Betaflight.
Also ensure you power the vtx via the vtx power pad as on this FC if your vtx can take lipo power as it has a vtx power on/off via pinio in the Betaflight mode. If your vtx has specific voltage requirements then do not do this eg some vtx require 5v.

11 I’ll use the T4 pad as it’s with the rest of my camera wires. Then I just assign R4 to SA in betaflight? I’m using the TBS unify pro32 which will take up to a 6S.

388 Kevin2112, I think you are a little lost with your understanding of things.
SA is a protocol to control the VTX. It is always wired to an UART TX. You can use any UART as long as you have not already used the UART RX for something else. On the port tab, just make sure you select Smartaudio on whichever port you wired it to.
Camera control (not to be confused with C1/C2 camera switching) is a way to control the camera's OSD through BF, instead of using the joystick that comes with the camera. You can also use almost any port for this. But you do need to remap resources. But to get camera control to work, you need to have an inline resistor. In your FC, the manufacturer added the resistor for you on R4, so you don't have to worry about it. Once you remap, there is nothing on the port tab setting you need to change.
The wiring diagram that kafie1980 posted pretty much outline things very clearly.

11 So you can't use the tx and rx of the same number for different things? Your right I am a bit confused on it. So if I do R4 for OSD then I will need to use a different T like T3 for SA?
R4 does have a 200 ohm resistor. It looks like T3 is not used for anything yet.
