For example, we connect the RunCam Split Mini to the UART 3 interface on the Flight 
Controller: connect the Flight Controller to the computer, then open the configurator 
software of the Flight Controller. (Open up the configurator that matches the firmware 
you are running, Betaflight Configurator for Betaflight, Cleanflight Configurator for 
Cleanflight). In the Peripherals column of the line UART3 (on the Ports tab), select 
RunCam Device and click Save And Reboot.

In the Flight Controller Configurator, navigate to the Modes tab. There are new 
CAMERA WI-FI, CAMERA POWER and CAMERA CHANGE modes

Assign any available channel to the function you need, for example:

· 

CAMERA WI-FI: in the OSD of the camera, this is used to confirm your selection.

· 

CAMERA POWER: start/stop the video. When in the OSD of the camera, this is used to

   move to the next menu item.

· 

CAMERA CHANGE MODE: switch among the two modes: video and OSD

  

setting mode. When in the OSD of the camera, this will exit the menu

· 

Assign the AUX1 to the CAMERA WI-FI, range 1900-2100

· 

Assign the AUX2 to the CAMERA POWER, range 1900-2100

· 

Assign the AUX3 to the CAMERA CHANGE MODE, range 1900-2100

Please choose your Model on the controller, then access to the MIXER interface and
assign the channel to the switch of the controller. Take opentx 2.2.0 for example, assign
the channels CH5, CH6 and CH7 to SA, SB and SD respectively

Power the Flight Controller and the RunCam Split Mini

· 

Set the SA to the bottom, the camera starts/stops the video

· 

Set the SD to the bottom, the camera switches among the two modes: 

   video and OSD setting mode
