hi Renatoa,
thank you for the link!
as i understand: this element is for the filtering between power supply and video power .... to burn this element there must be a short connection outside the plug (in the plane) for video/audio to burn this.

the workaround is to make the bridge on the pcb.

but for a repair i need the definiton of this element ... any idea?

cheers Thomas

@ whakahere,

I used a 3.3v 800mA Low Drop Out regulator

Hey guys I got some problems with my fochtech modules. I got a RX Module which is working pretty nice. But my TX Module is causing some problems. I dont get a signal from the TX to RX. Just If I am turning the TX there is short signal on the screen. I checked all connections and resoldered them but nothing seem to work. I am using the 200mW 5,8ghz module from fochtech and I am powering it with an 3,3V UBEC.

Anyone got an idea ?

Did you set the channels properly?

I soldered them all to GND for the first tests. That should work ?! Later I will install a switch for changing channels.

Yes the TX should work, you are now on 5705 mHz channel. The same must be on your RX, of course, all the switches to ON position. Like in the picture below:

Thank you so much. It was not exactly the way you told but now its working

But I also got the problem with the lines and when I am just soldering a cap 470uf the TX is not working anymore. Any solution ?

Err...

If he soldered all the connectors on the tx to GND, then he's on channel 8 which equals 5945Mhz.

Leaving the connections OPEN (not connected to GND) would put him on channel 1, alas 5705Mhz.

However, your advice to switch all rx switches to ON (alas down) was correct as this also sets the rx to channel 8 => 5945Mhz

Err... nope, viceversa

"Channels selection are below:

Ch1 pin + Ch2 pin + Ch3 pin connect to ground (Channel 1 - 5.705 gHz)
...
DEFAULT - no connect to ground (Channel 8 - 5.945 gHz)"

that's correct, that's how I am using it at 5.705 GHz...

Err... I'm with Markus on this one.

I'm with myself too. But hey, maybe we all should vote. I hope the modules respect democracy!

SCNR,

Errr...conecting all pins to GND vtx is on CH1 5705Mhz

Spectrum Analyser anyone?
