I spent a good hour searching for this particular request for some knowledge, but found nothing else like it.
I've got a faulty video send on the central board. A little scorch-mark and no power to either the Boscam tx or the Immersion tx that I've hooked up, both with separate cables - one self-soldered and one bought pre-made.
I bought a new central board but as I looked at it the thoughts came to my mind of a 3 month project that would never work right because of all the soldering of wires to the board itself. I'm just not that guy. I've decided that no FPV is better than replacing the board... for my purposes.
I really don't have to have the tx for what I do. I've operated a video camera for 30 years and can understand what the GoPro is seeing just by the position of the drone.
However, I would like to see it. I'm wondering if there is a workaround.
Is there a way to feed a signal right out of the GoPro to the transmitter without using the interface built into the Phantom 2? A cable for that perhaps? If so, is power available for the tx readily?
Are there optional tx cameras that are cheap - just to send the look to the receiver as an approximation of what the GoPro is capturing?
Any other ideas other than the obvious "start over with a new unit?"
