Description

Special thanks to Guido Fabbrini reminding us of the risk that the FC might be burnt. Right now the BEC board is completed ready and available now.

This BEC board fits for GoPro Hero 6 and Hero 7 Black. But NOT for Hero 8.

Many thanks for Richárd Papp and those people who devoted their time and energy to the cinewhoop researching. Thanks for the FPV community to gather such awesome ideas. If you wanna know more about cinewhoop, click the link below to join us on Facebook.

    How to Setup Remote Record

    Pilot could use the switch on radio transmitter to start/stop record. Some more configuration needed.

    For example, if you use F4 FC V2.0 in the drone, like the 95X whoop drone, the connection diagram is shown below. The yellow cable (FC B12 pin pad) is just for the remote record.

    We use the Pinio function in Betaflight to control record. First, setup the Pinio function of the B12 pin in the FC board.

    resource FLASH_CS 1 NONE
    resource PINIO 1 B12
    set pinio_box = 40,255,255,255
    save

    Next, map one of the switch channels in your radio transmitter to this Pinio (aka USER1). As shown below, we map the AUX4 channel in the radio transmitter to USER1 Pinio. The cursor in the orange zone means button released and white zone means pressed. So keep the cursor in the orange zone in default.

    Third, check if the Pinio function works. Change the switch and make the cursor move from the orange zone to the white zone, and finally back to the orange zone. Now you could check the LED status to know if the record starts. Use the same process to stop recording.

    If you use the 12A F4 AIO FCboard, like the 85X whoop drone, you will use the LED_STRIP pin (aka A08 pin pad) for the Pinio function.

    resource LED_STRIP 1 NONE
    resource PINIO 1 A08
    set pinio_box = 40,255,255,255
    save
