Power
Your camera and flight computer should have power sources that meet the specs provided by the manufacturers.
Cyclops requires a data connection between the camera and the flight computer. If you are using a digital video camera powered via USB-C or a similar cable, one cable can typically handle both the power and data connections.
If you are using an analog video camera (i.e. Runcam or other common FPV cameras), you will need an analog to digital converter. These modules are usually powered via USB and have low voltage limitations. If your camera requires a higher voltage power source, be prepared to power it separately.
Camera and flight computer have adequate power sources.
Ensure your power supply has adequate current. Powering multiple devices (e.g. camera, external SSD) off of USB will draw significant current.
Current draw will increase while device is under load.
