Quick Start Guide

Sony ILX-LR1 due to the lack of RTC which causes the camera to sometimes reset language, date, and time settings. For those that this happens to this is the fix to solve this issue.

The error has been corrected by installing WGC 1.7.2 or higher. The WGC change log can be found here: WISPR Ground Control and WISPR Flight Firmware Release Changelog

Another method to remove the error can be achieved by the following:

  • Download the MavCam App zip folder below and save it on your PC.

  • Transfer the MavCam file onto a microSD card.

  • Insert the microSD card into the slot located at the bottom of the smart controller. The SD slot is positioned to the left of the charging port.

  • Press the nine (9) boxes at the bottom right hand corner of the controller’s home screen. Navigate to the "Downloads" within your applications. Locate the SD card file.

  • Open the SD card file and find the MavCam .apk file. Click on it to begin the installation process.

  • During installation, the app will request permission to overlay on other applications. Enable the corresponding toggle to grant this permission.

  • MavCam is now installed and should now be present as an app in your applications on your controller.

  • Soft press once to open and run MavCam from your applications.

  • You should now see the MavCam controls displayed at the bottom of the screen.

  • Press the "OK" button located at the center of the directional arrows to display the camera's icons and settings.

    • If the MavCam Camera settings are blocking your Icons, simply exit out using the X at the top and swipe the icons right again to bring up the Mavcam Configurtion panel and select the box “camera panel right” to move to the right side of the screen. Close out of that and swipe up again to open the MavCam Controls.

  • Navigate down once more using the arrow keys and select "Date/Time." Use the right directional arrow to navigate to hours/minutes/seconds and use the up and down directional arrows to input the correct time.

  • Once complete, press the back arrow twice, then scroll down to "Reset/Save Settings" and select "Save/Load Settings."
