# RedEdge-P Dual

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: Data captured on the Micasense cameras using The Universal Micasense Kit will have geotag location from the provided DLS's GPS, not the aircraft GPS.
{% endhint %}

## Assembling the Cameras

1. Unbox the Cameras and DLS. Ensure the CF Express cards are inserted into both cameras. Insert the wifi dongle into the main camera (will be located in the front). For the purposes of this guide, we will be using the red camera as the main.

2. Unbox the kit and remove packaging from the items. The Single DLS Cable and zipties are not required for the Rededge-P Dual Assembly.

3. With the 2.5mm Hex Key, attach the Smart Dovetail to the Single Mount using (x4) M3x8mm Dovetail Screws and Blue Loctite. Ensure the part is assembled in the correct orientation.

5. With the 2.5mm Hex Key, attach the Assembly to the cameras using (x6) M3x10mm Mount Screws and Blue Loctite. Ensure the part is assembled in the correct orientation; the main camera (red in this case) should be in front, and the dovetail will be sloping downwards toward it.

6. Plug in the PWR / COMM Cable to the Smart Dovetail.

## Assembling the DLS

1. With the 1.5mm Hex Key, attach the DLS Mount to the DLS using (x2) M2x8mm DLS Screws and Blue Loctite. Ensure the part is assembled in the correct orientation, noting the position of the dots on the DLS in relation to the thumb screw.

{% hint style="success" %} <mark style="color:green;">**DLS Assembly Complete**</mark>
{% endhint %}

## Setting up on the Aircraft

1. Align the two teeth on the DLS with the two slots on the top of the drone. Slide the mount until it sits in place.

<figure><img src="/files/x9aSAeotRxqsqhEZJCm1" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

2. Tighten the thumb screw on top of the mount.

<figure><img src="/files/Qq0Hf6sMMCwNd6dbOR5S" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

3. If your drone has a Pro Damping kit, ensure it is moved to Position&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/XvzDIaE9RzRKcIamVR1s" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

4. On the bottom of the drone, ensure the red dovetail clamp is rotated in the released position.

<figure><img src="/files/02Puq7G0sOiZqP61nNkO" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

5. Insert the cameras into the dovetail cage until it clicks into place.

<figure><img src="/files/eA8UEK2VwAM5yHVDcjyA" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

6. Rotate the lever to secure the cameras. If the lever feels too tight, do not force it. Adjust the tension as needed with a 2.5mm Hex Driver.

<figure><img src="/files/zrt51TVG5xEVRBe1Gng2" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

7. Plug in the Dual DLS cable to the DLS port on each camera. The thicker cable should plug into the main camera, and the thinner into the auxiliary camera.

<figure><img src="/files/V5O1ysGsenHliP8ToySr" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

8. Route the cable underneath and across the drone, wrapping around one of the legs, and up towards the top of the drone.

<figure><img src="/files/5icT8eHZzPOQL0PsHpK5" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

9. Plug the remaining end into the DLS.

<figure><img src="/files/TkhKQbzxaox2y2jhvbxl" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

10. Remove both the lens caps and WiFi Dongle before flight. It is listed on Micasense user guide that the WiFi dongle interferes with data collection.

## Applying Aircraft Software Settings

1. Power on the drone. Both cameras and the DLS should have flashing lights (red, yellow, or green). In IGC, navigate to IFT > Application Settings.

<figure><img src="/files/MZ8IsQtHE21X1ZLyr5Xx" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

2. In the General tab, scroll down to the Camera Presets section. Set the Camera Type to Micasense.

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: This requires IGC version 1.4 or greater. See [How to Update / Install IGC](/inspired-documentation/products/inspired-suite/inspired-ground-control-igc/how-to-update-install-igc.md).
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="/files/Kh8ayZQoLxKvm9Xm1fhY" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

3. A popup window will appear asking to update the flight controller parameters. press Apply Payload Parameters and wait for the drone to reboot.

{% endhint %}

## Applying Camera Software Settings

1. Ensure the drone is powered on and both the camera and DLS have flashing lights (red, yellow, or green). On a phone or computer, look for a wifi access point named Camera\_XXX-XXXXXXX-XX and connect to the host using the password micasense.

6. In the Multi-Camera Configuration section, confirm that the main camera, auxiliary camera, and DLS are all present in the network. Confirm that the Software versions of the cameras only are the same.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If the camera firmware are mismatched, update both cameras to the latest version of firmware available on Micasense’s [website](https://support.micasense.com/hc/en-us/articles/8511458049303-MicaSense-Camera-Firmware-Download-Page). See the troubleshooting guide on updating firmware.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
If the auxiliary camera does not appear, consult the troubleshooting guide on configuring the secondary camera.
{% endhint %}

7. Navigate to the Home icon tab and verify that the Camera is showing it’s receiving GPS corrections and other flight data from the flight controller. The flashing lights should now be either yellow or green, depending on if the drone is outside and has a GPS signal. If the flashing light is still red, consult the troubleshooting guide.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If a Storage error is present, navigate to gears icon tab > Storage and Firmware > press Reformat Storage.
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="/files/UJ3wryLmCDdoww4RduZ4" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

8. In IGC, navigate to stream 2 in the Fly tab. Micasense cameras do not support live video streaming with the aircraft, so no video will be present. Tap the white circle icon to take a photo with the cameras. A blue light should flash once on both the camera and the DLS.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Ensure there is no cable plugged into the USB-C port. If there is, unplug and reboot the vehicle. This will prevent the camera from triggering.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
If you do not see a flash of blue light, consult the troubleshooting guide.
{% endhint %}
