A few questions about the CGO4...

[WTFDproject]

Scusate una domanda devo comperare una panasonic lumix gh 3/4 per il gimbal in foto ,ma posseggo anche una cgo4 , ma vedo (giustamente) che la panasonic lumix gh 3/4 completa con l'obbiettivo costano ...per risparmiare qualcosa ... volevo sapere cortesemente se l'obbiettivo della cgo4 era compatibile (Nota) se ne avete da vendere una panasonic lumix 3/4 non esitate di contattarmi .Grazie

Una rapida ricerca sul Forum e su Internet non ha fornito una risposta precisa e conclusiva.
È possibile acquistare solo il corpo della fotocamera Lumix?
È possibile acquisire il Lumix Objective in un secondo momento (se necessario)?
Le immagini almeno appaiono molto simili.


A quick search on the Forum and on the Internet did not provide a precise and conclusive answer.
Can you purchase only the Lumix camera to see if the lens fits, and later purchase the lens if needed?
The images at least appear very similar.

Anybody ever change out the lens on the CGO4?

As a UAS operator, I'm a good videographer. Like still photographers I'm lens obsessed. I've spent $7,000 on a special wide angle on one of my broadcast cameras. I discovered that the CGO4 is a Panasonic 4/3 camera. Referred to as a four-thirds. I found a website that has several 4/3 lenses and...

I have a Lumix DMC-G70 and the lens from it fits to the CGO4 (which came from garbage can w/o lens .
This lens is alo interchangable with a LUMIX DMC-G1. So, I see no reason why the lens from CGO4 should not work with a GH 4.

 

[Enrico Jorysch]

I confirm... the lens of the GH4 and the Lumix GH3 /4 are compatible with each other.

Here are the pics inside the CGO4+ that I have. As you can see the ST24 is disconnected and you can see mine has the antennas are poking out from the gimbal housing too.
You can also see the light blue wire has been cut on the UART plug and this is the ground wire.

As you can see from the linked post the lite blue wire is cut also on their CGO4 but it does not have the ST24 board. So this leads me to believe that you should be able to plug the
ST24 board back in and fix the ground wire the UART plug. I will report back once I do this and let you know if this CGO4+ goes to working on my Yuneec H920.

Per evitare qualsiasi malinteso:

C'è un drone Tornado H920 con una telecamera CGO4 associata ai fili dell'antenna che fuoriescono. Viene fornito con il telecomando ST24 e ST12.

Questo Tornado H920+ potrebbe essere inviato a Yuneec, dove il drone e la CGO4 sono stati modificati in termini di hardware e software.

Non si vede il drone dall'esterno, ma le antenne sono state spostate all'interno della telecamera ed è stato aggiunto un ST16 per il controllo.

Purtroppo oggi sul mercato si trovano molte apparecchiature che non sono compatibili tra loro e quindi non funzionano.

È quindi...

Ecco le foto all'interno del CGO4+ che ho. Come puoi vedere, lo ST24 è scollegato e puoi vedere che anche il mio ha le antenne che sporgono dall'alloggiamento del gimbal.
Si può anche vedere che il filo azzurro è stato tagliato sulla spina UART e questo è il filo di terra.

Come puoi vedere dal post linkato, il filo azzurro è tagliato anche sul loro CGO4, ma non ha la scheda ST24. Quindi questo mi porta a credere che dovresti essere in grado di collegare il
Riposiziona la scheda ST24 e fissa il filo di terra della spina UART. Ti farò sapere quando avrò fatto questo e se questo CGO4+ funzionerà sul mio Yuneec H920.

English Translation:
so I have to buy a st 24 for the cgo4? because in mine there isn't one... looking at the photos you sent me there is....Thanks you were helpful I'm waiting anxiously

I soldered the ground wire back connecting it to the ground on the power in. I cut the heat shrink off and soldered another blue wire to it. I also reconnected the SR24 board back up.
When I fired up the Yuneec H920 and the camera went through it's chicken dance. I started over, made a copy of the H920 with the camera on it and then put the H920 into binding
mode then bind to the SR24 in the drone and the WiFI of the CGO4. And I still cannot control the gimba. Makes me wonder if the SR24 board is bad if that makes the ST24 unable
to control the gimbal???

However, the SR24 ID for the gimbal didn't pop up in the Model select under bind on the ST24 Ground Station but the orange LED is flashing on the SR24 inside the gimbal housing.
So it lends be to believe that this board might be bad and Yuneec converted it to a CGO4+????? I just purchased another SR24 board off of eBay to do some more testing. I am waiting
on it to come in the mail. It looks like the SR24 is just stuck to the little tray with double sided sticky tape. Why I think the SR24 board is bad is because my GB603 gimbal has a SR24
board in it and it broadcasts it's ID and I can pick it up under the Bind Model column.

I did test the other two wires on the URART port and they are RX and TX out to the gimbal plug. To make the ground connection I took a connector pin from another plug for the ground
and soldered a blue wire to it. I did test the power plug ground and it does connect to the two ground pins on the gimbal plug.

I did test this on the ProAction gimbal grip controller. I could still pan and tilt in the different modes.

This is the SR24 board I purchased off of eBay:

What does the red LED mean across from the MPU6050 port on the main board to the left of the ST24 board in the CGO4?

I don't know. I don't think it is there on mine, and I already put the cover back on. I will try to check tomorrow evening, but I doubt the red is anything good.

My GB603 has a red LED lit up on it's board when it's turned on. So maybe it's just showing there is power on the main board?

That's good news. I'll check mine tomorrow evening. Too Late tonight, and another day of outside work during tomorrow day.

I unplugged the SR24 on my CGo4 and tried to control it with an ST24 bound to the drone. No luck. The gimbal just went into contortions of agony. I didn't want to clip the light blue wire, so I used a multimeter to see which pins in the main connector were associated, and slipped the pins out. There were two of them. Turns out it killed everything. I'll have to try again tomorrow and just slip the pin on the little light blue wire on the gimbal board.

Is the orange LED blinking slow or fast?
Slow means waiting on RC
Fast is bind mode
Solid means connected

Is the orange LED blinking slow or fast?
It is a steady blink every second.

Fast is bind mode
How do you put the SR24 board on the CGO4 into bind mode?
The SR24 ID does not show up on my ST24 Bind Model column.

 

[Vaklin]

It is always in bind mode when it is not bound. No special tasks needed.

 

[Vaklin]

You should see something like this.

Thank you, I see the Camera WiFi SSID but not the Model SR24 ID for the CGO4 gimbal. Still leads me to believe the SR24 board is not working right. I have another one on it's way should be here in the next couple days.
Then I will plug it in and see if it shows up.

 

[Vaklin]

Just checked...
As I said, every startup of the grip is in bind mode. Fast blinking.
Every time you should go via binding procedure on ST16. If you don't see the receiver, tap refresh. Not necessary to bind the camera again. It is stored in WiFi list but is important to select CGO4!
When the binding is successful you will see steady led light. If you turn off the ST16 you'll have slow blinking for searching mode.

I have one more grip without SR24 but I have no time right now to play with it.

salve ma sto fuori di testa ..ho avuto circa 3 anni fa il tornado h 920 st 24. e drone nessun problema ,poi lo venduto, e circa 8/9 mesi in un sito Tedesco ne ho acquistato un tornado h 920 con n.2 batterie,cgo4, una st24, e una st 16, visto come da commenti della cgo4 che non mi da nessun segnale in tutto ,ho acquistato la proaction con il gmbal per la panasonic gh3/4 e questa va alla grande , ma il problema rimangono sempre i motori che non si avviano, in più ho acquistato una nuova fco ancora da istallare ,il gps nuovo questo istallato, e adesso sto aspettando che mi arrivi anche IMU ,visto che nei commenti si dice che se non ce l'imu dovrebbe essere h 920 plus, perche nel mio non ce, e vorrei farlo diventare h 920 si può? che drone ho?.....vi giro delle foto del h 920 sia collegato con la st 16..che la st 24 ....aiutatemi Grazie

hello but I am out of my mind ..I had about 3 years ago the tornado h 920 st 24. and drone no problem ,then I sold it,and about 8/9 months in a German site I bought a tornado h 920 with no.2 batteries,cgo4, one st24, and one st 16, seeing as per the comments of the cgo4 that it does not give me any signal at all ,I bought the proaction with the gmbal for the panasonic gh3/4 and this one runs great , but the problem always remains the motors that do not start, plus I bought a new fco yet to be installed ,the new gps this installed, and now I'm waiting for me to get IMU too ,since in the comments it says that if there is no imu it should be h 920 plus, because in mine there is not, and I would like to make it h 920 can you? what drone i have?.....vi turn of photos of the h 920 both connected with the st 16..and the st 24 ....aiutatemi Thank you

 

[giorgio]

e non so quale dei telecomandi usare ,perche non ho bisogno che la st 16 ..comanda il drone , e la st24 le camere....o viceversa ...vorrei adoperarlo classico.Grazie

and I don't know which of the remote controls to use ,because I don't need the st 16 ..control the drone , and the st24 the cameras....or vice versa ..I would like to use it classic.Thank you
