iOSD or Immersion RC 5.8 FAIL?

[scooter339]

I'm flying a P2, just installed the immersion, which I tested with the Black Pearl FPV, it worked great.

Then I installed the iOSD and now I have no video from the GoPro and the telemetry data displays on the Black Pearl but the picture is rolling

I turned on the camera.
I checked the integrity of the solder joints.
The zenmuse is working.

Any ideas?

I forgot to mention that the settings of the Black Pearl are: mode - div, Band F, Channel 1

How do you have the iOSD mini wired up exactly (have a pic)?

Is the Black Pearl for PAL?, mine came set for PAL had to change to NTSC

I'm not clear about how to verify what setting it's on or how to change it.

I see video output from your iOSD mini, but no video being fed in to it.

The video port on the side of the iOSD unit should have two leads coming in from the Phantom mainboard (video in+ground), and two leads going out to the Immersion Tx.

This cable shows how it should be connected (the loose white plug on the end at the top of the pic is what plugs in to the Phantom's main board): http://www.firstpersonview.com/cables/p ... ransmitter

Also, if the video from the gopro was displayed on the monitor fine before the iOSD mini was added, then the NTSC setting should be correct.

Here's a detail of the two leads coming from the iOSD http://screencast.com/t/Qn716DINLD

Like stated above. Your iosd is install wrong. It has a video in from the camera and a video out to the immersion. You totally cut off two wires from the iosd harness that needs to be wired. And I should say HAS to be wired. Your video from your camera HAS TO MUST be passed through your iosd.

The yellow wire in the bottom left corner is your video out from the camera that HAS TO be connected to your iosd video in.

Flip that iosd around and you will se in gnd out gnd...

How to I know, I've installed 7 already...

First, Boozshey - Thanks.

Second, I believe you're right and I will make the connections tomorrow and post the results.

I'm on my iPad but tomorrow can draw a better picture if you can't figure it out. Keep me in the loop.

Check out the youtube on the install. Pretty much spells it out for you. Looks like yours is wrong.

Good find! Can't describe it better.

That's the video I used, and yes I got it wrong.

 

[Boozshey]

Can you flip It over and show me where the other yellow wire is going.

This is the best I can do without being there. Hope it helps.

I can work with this. I'll post the results

Thanks - you're a pal.

The wiring is correct this time, but the results are the same.

Here's how my iOSD and Immersion VTX are wired: http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Boozshey/media/phantom/IOSD_zpsa4fba8e2.jpg.html
All the solder joints are solid and wrapped.

The Black Pearl is set to DIV Ch. F band 1. I can see the iOSD values, but they roll like an analog TV out of whack.

The VTX worked before I installed the iOSD.
The VTX seems hot, the red light is on, and there are other components that are hot too so ... ?
The Phantom will get a GPS lock but won't fly.

I rarely use emoticons, but here is where I'm at.
