I bought a caddx loris a few months ago.
Everything was working as expected: the VTX, the HD/4K recording...
Then I wanted to control the camera through its TX/RX pins... I suld wires on the pins then plug them to the flightcontroler UART and set it up with the runCam protocol.
So starts my troubles....
The camera seem now to be in a zombie mode....
When powering the camera (12V), only a violet LED in lit. Any action (clic, double clic, tripple clic, long clic, etc.) on the button, does nothing. Any action with the 5D pad does nothing. With or without the SD card, same behavior.
(even unplug the camera sensor does not change the behavior)
The only noticable change in the behavior: when powered with 5V, the led color is blue instead of violet (red+blue)
The documentation is quite inexistent with this device (or maybe I haven't search in the right place), the only documention talks about red light (red led off: camera off, red led solid: on, red led blinking: recording)... with only that, I cannot go very far in my investigations....
I double-checked my solderings, but there are no short-circuits, no (visible) interactions.
Does anyone know about where to find docs about this device or have some tips/tricks that I may try? (else than contacting the manufacturer for a new device
)
Thanks!
