How do you power your Zenmuse?

Benjamin Kenobi

Easy? You call that easy?
Huh? Servo and X1/X2? Aren't X1 and X2 something on the NAZA? You're not plugging the receiver into the naza for tilt control, just a spare channel (you mentioned channel 5) straight into the tilt slot on the Zenmuse GCU. Then assign a switch to channel 5 (or a knob would be better), adjust end-points to slow it down a bit and you're away.

Sorry man, I'm a noob when it comes to this so I may have described the wrong ports.

So I've assigned the channel 5 to my RS slider for the gimbal. But it's not recognizing any x1. So are you saying I need to connect the receiver spare channel to the GCU? I'll post a pic of my GCU/receiver next. Thanks for bearing to help!

Ah, I just had a look at the mini Zenmuse and it doesn't have the same channels on the GCU as my larger Zen Z15.

Ignore what I said before.

Lol. No worries that explains it! Wondering where the hell I connect that to the GCU. Still can't seem to figure it out. My X1 port on my naza module is empty. Not sure if that means anything different

Here are all of my connections, my Taranis setup, and Naza assistant. I noticed there is nothing plugged in my x1 on Naza. The SBUS goes to X2. this correct? Can't seem to get the tilt to work with my determined switch.

That first pic is of the H3-2d, and you have the 3d. The H3-3d uses the plug that you have sitting on your macbook in post #8 and a thin black cable to connect it, which should be in there somewhere. Caution however that the cable is very fragile and use caution putting it on. Also, if you have issues with getting FPV video play around with the cable, when I first set mine up I wasn't getting video and in the process of fiddling with it bumped it and got the signal.

Happy flying! Mike

Awesome! So how exactly did you connect your zen to the FPV transmitter for video out?
