I'm not sure if this has been covered yet on this site, but I wasn't able to find it after doing a search, so I thought I'd ask herer. I'm new to the Solo but learning fast. As most of you know the stock pile of Solo Gimbals are dwindling down and the suppliers that have them are charging more and more everyday, even for used ones. I have an aftermarket 3 axis gimbal that I'm trying to install on my Solo. After pulling out the inside tray, found the wires, color codes and how they are market on the circuit board, but not sure of a few things, hence the reason for posting this thread. I have an aftermarket GoPro (Chinese knock off) that works fine with the Solo's HDMI cable and the stock Solo GoPro anti vib mount, video shows on my phone just fine during flight. I'd like to wire another HDMI or MicroUSB (like on the Solo Gimbal) so I can just plug in my aftermarket GoPro (knockoff) and use my aftermarket 3 axis gimbal. I figured out most of the wires so far (BATT, RX, TX, GND, 5v) for hooking up the aftermarket gimbal, but not sure about the D+, D-, and GND. I think those wires (BLU, PUR, & BRN) are the video or microusb input cable to the GoPro on a stock Solo Gimbal. I not sure if those are the wires that move the Pitch of the stock Solo Gimbal. Perhaps the UART4 RX and UART4 TX move the pitch of the gimbal. Has anyone else tried to figure out this wiring for an aftermarket Gimbal? Thanks so much for any help. Below I've listed the wires, colors and what they say on my Solo's circuit board.
Solo Gimbal Wires
RED - Gimbal batt
WHT - UART4 RX (not sure what UART4 mean?)
GRN - UART4 TX (not sure what UART4 mean?)
BLK - Gimbal GND
YEL - Gimbal 5v (not sure what this wire is for, I'm guessing its for the gimbal controller)
BLU - GoPro - D+
PUR - GoPro - D-
BRN - GoPro - GND
Solo Gimbal Wires
RED - Gimbal batt
WHT - UART4 RX (not sure what UART4 mean?)
GRN - UART4 TX (not sure what UART4 mean?)
BLK - Gimbal GND
YEL - Gimbal 5v (not sure what this wire is for, I'm guessing its for the gimbal controller)
BLU - GoPro - D+
PUR - GoPro - D-
BRN - GoPro - GND
