I have the same problem as Ryan, video is not on the yellow but on the red... And audio doesn't work with the Quanum FPVme... I have paid for something good, not wrong !!!

Receiver Working, Cable Miswired

Jan 04, 2017

Out of the box i could not get the thing working, however being an electrical engineer i decided to pull the thing down and figure out what went wrong, (tldr - it works just flip yellow and white)

First off its based on the RTC6715 receiver IC, meaning its made exactly like a 5808 module with a power supply and a video / audio lead already bolted on, the 5 way bank of switches just go to a em78p153 micro that then controls the thing by SPI so its easy to hack into, and the RF module seems to be well made,

There is an RSSI pin on the side of the module when you open the case, seems to be 0.8-2.2V, (if you plan to use it for diversity)

Now back to the wiring fault, on my one its actually the white plug that has the video, if yours doesnt work on that plug, then internally if you have the AV plug pointing down and look on the side with the metal can, video is the 6th pin from the left, and the plug makes reliable contact fully seated.

For people who want the rest, starting from the left, my camera lacks audio so i could not test it.
Pin 1 is 3.3V,
Pin 2 is switch 4
Pin 3 is ground
Pin 4 is presumed audio (to yellow plug)
Pin 5 is presumed audio (to red Plug)
Pin 6 is video (to white plug)
Pin 7 is switch 1
Pin 8 is switch 2
Pin 9 is switch 3
Pin 10 is switch 5

the soldering was fine on both modules, and it is working well now that i understand the miswiring.

Dud... Screwed on an antenna, adjusted frequencies accordingly, applied power, and could NOT get the thing to output any signal what so ever... I'm either doing something wrong or I got a dud. Either way, it's cheaply priced so not a huge loss.
