BEC Board Diagram

The two buttons on the BEC board have the same functions as the GoPro spare buttons. Three actions we will use frequently.

  • Power on-Press the power/mode button, the LED flashes three times and goes out.
  • Start recording-Press the “Record” button once and the LED flashes slowly. If the LED flashes once and goes off, it means there is no SD card.
  • Stop recording-Press the “Record” button, the LED stops blinking slowly.

LED Status

Under normal operation, plug the GH1.25 connector into the GoPro Lite camera firstly, then connect with the battery. The LED will flash once, then you should press the Power/Mode button once in a second to power on. The LED on the BEC board has the same status as the stock LED on the GoPro mainboard.

How to Setup Remote Record

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

Usually you would map the LED pin to allow for record start/stop functionality using betaflight resource mapping

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

resource LED_STRIP 1 NONE
resource PINIO 1 A08
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 the 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.
