You need that 7 pin cable, I've tried with a few other 7 pin usb cables and no luck.
Hi @bknill, Thanks for your reaction.
I've searched for 7-pin connectors and it looks that you're right. Each manufacturer has it's own 7-pin connector so it all depends on the place of the pins. I still hope i find one some day :)
@nldroid @bknill Have either of you succeeded in creating and testing a multi-endpoint cable? If so, does it support synchronized starts of 4k video, or just the officially supported modes ( 12MP photo, 2.5K video and 2.5K time lapse video)?
Hello! I use 7pin usb cable, but it not work. Test on 2 cams. Connect 2pin to 2pin and 7pin to 7pin, another contacts will be free 1 cam with first frameware, second with others frimware I use this cable https://www.goandroid.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/oppo-find-7-7a-fast-charging-aa-2-of-7-710x399.jpg What I can do wrong?
Wtf?! Why YI using non-existent in the market 7-pin connector?! Why not standard 5-pin?
is there any update on this? Anyone found out which 7-pin connector YI is using?
In a post on the yi community an admin posts a tutorial for a yi camera, where a detailed picture of the usb connector is posted. When I google-image-search the picture I find this
@Sundrey where did u find it? I want to but it too)
I bought them here: https://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/0.html?spm=a2g0s.9042647.0.0.4LSdzM&orderId=84515479253055&productId=2032446271
I recieved them a few days ago, I can check if they work, but unfortunately I might only find time for it in a week or two.
@daniel-hermann any results on your work. Do think this cable will work? https://world.taobao.com/item/555445224213.htm?fromSite=main&spm=a230r.1.14.46.ebb2eb2a3nwOd&ns=1&abbucket=4#detail
To those who tried 7 pin cable, have you checked the signals of each pin?
I am thinking to build my own sync cable from third party 7 pin cable (like the ones you all mentioned with URLS) since the official sync cable currently ships to US only. Once I have the cable with me, I am thinking to use oscilloscope to verify which pin is responsible for genlock signal.
I wonder if this works though. Thoughts?
@kevinra did you get any further with determining the pin outs on the connector, and which provides the genlock signal?
The wiring diagram decribes that you have to connect all pins 2 together and all pins 7 together. I'm a bit confused because micro usb cables only have 5 pins. If i use the colors then i should connect all red: vcc (+5v) cables together and all black: ground cables together. Is that correct?
Edit: i found out that there's a (now sold out) special sync cable: here
Any way i can create a cable like this with a male connector?
