[SOLVED] TinyHawk s video is very disrupted
#31
Dear Voodoo,

In this pic (from the VTX side), you can see the 3.3v marked in a circle, and the ground, is the one of its right side :

And in this pics, you can see the FC from its other side. the ground leg is the secomd from the right.
In my quad, I checked, and found that they are connected electrically right now ( I have checked from the other side of the leg)
Can you tell me about that bridging question that  I have asked ?

In my Tinyhawk, this area is already dirty, with solder and 'time/use', So I am going to clean it when I have the right tools (hopefully 1-2 days)

A-N-D, LOL

to add to the party, I checked also connectivity in tx antenna, and found that the 'hurt' antenna, is indeed hurt, and need to be replaced.
Could you tell me what type of antenna should I look for ?
As far as I got from the web, The stock antenna is a linear antenna. the types of antennas that I can find available here, are all kinds of RHCP antennas, with a SMA, uf.l etc...
the following antenna is available here :

will it work if I solder a coaxial cable withthe correct  uf.l connection and then, the antenna to it ?
just half of this cable :

(I am still not familiar with antennas)

Replacement antenna. Just cut off the connector. Solder shielding and center wire to the appropriate pad.

OK, to sum the experience for my fellow hobby enthusiasts,
A used (3rd hand) Tinyhawk S, The video was ok in the first days of flying-crashing... at least I think it was ok, because the longest flight with goggles took no more than 10 seconds before getting over excited or disoriented, and crashing again...
after some 3-4 days, when I disconnected the battery, the XT30 connector was disconnected and I re-soldered it to the board.
a very ugly and some half way soldering work...
I started to have bad video, and I decided to take the VTX antenna out, I relized that it had a dent (squeesh ?! I miss the word), So I checked conductivity between ground and signal pads of the antenna and had the BEEP, means that the antenna is not ok and had to be replaced.
I live in Israel, and these are COVID-19 days, It gonna be a hell to wait for a replacement antenna.
I decided to un solder the original antenna and create a mixture between a lollipop antenna and a pigtail that I had, It did not work well due to lack of skills, magnifying glass, the right size of shrink tube etc....
So I decided to take the active part of the original antenna and connect it to the pig tail and solder the pigtail to the VTX.
It works, for now, I have tested it, and there is an image in the goggles, even from distance, and for long period of time.
Here are some pics that show the final antenna :

and in my other post ( https://intofpv.com/t-tinyhawk-s-vtx-ant...-challenge ) you can find some more pics of the process.

Many thanks to SnowLeopard and Voodoo614 for their support along the way (72 hours marathon LOL)
