Hi everyone, I just purchased a used standard camera and control board but it does not have a ribbon cable or bottom control board mount/cover/base plate (for the gimbal plate, see pic) The camera and arms are separated from the control board.
Sooooo I was under the assumption that the control board is what sends the telemetry (The antenna wires being hooked up etc...) and the camera itself just the image (control board also sends information to the gimbal motors etc.) but the actual telemetry to the app if from the control board.
Really I am not sure. I do understand I can just fly the drone without the camera unit/gimbal installed BUT that isn't the question. Where does the telemetry derive from? (sent) Does the entire unit need to be installed for telemetry? (camera, arms etc..)
ALSO, I have several drones in different states of repair; it would be nice if I could plug in the control board only for rudimentary testing of sorts.
In addition I am having trouble finding the needed parts (besides the mounting plate and ribbon cable) to complete the camera assembly. Educate me please. Might seem like a absurd question to some but its a question for those more experienced non the less.
Much appreciated!
