# 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 %} |

Unbox the Camera 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.

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

| |

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.

| |

With the 2.5mm Hex key, attach the Assembly to the Dual Mount using (x2) M3x10mm Mount Screws and Blue Loctite as shown.

| |

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.

| |

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

| |

Plug in the two 4 Position JST connectors to the PWR port on each camera.

| |

Plug in the 15 Position JST connector to the COMM port on the red camera.

| | Assembly Complete! | #### Assembling the DLS |

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.

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.

Tighten the thumb screw on top of the mount.

| |

If your drone has a Pro Damping kit, ensure it is moved to Position 1.

| |

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

| |

Insert the camera into the dovetail cage until it clicks into place.

| |

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

| |

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.

| |

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

| |

Plug the remaining end into the DLS.

| |

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.

| | Hardware Setup Complete! | #### Applying Aircraft Software Settings |

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

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

| |

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

| | Drone Software Setup Complete! | #### Applying Camera Software Settings |

On a phone or computer, look for a wifi access point named Camera\_XXX-XXXXXXX-XX and connect to the host using password "micasense". The name should match whatever main camera is in the front.

Open a browser and type 192.168.10.254 into the address bar. Press enter.

| |

The RedEdge-P’s web interface will populate in the browser. Navigate to the gears icon tab.

| |

Click on Basic Configuration and apply the settings as shown. Click Save when done.

| |

Click on Advanced Configuration. Change or verify that the following settings are configured as shown. Click Save when done.

| |

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.

Note: If the camera firmwares are mismatched, update both cameras to the latest version of firmware available on Micasense’s website. See the troubleshooting guide on updating firmware.

Note: If the auxiliary camera does not appear, consult the troubleshooting guide on configuring the secondary camera.

| |

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.

Note: If a Storage error is present, navigate to gears icon tab > Storage and Firmware > press Reformat Storage.

| |

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.

Note: 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.

Note: If you do not see a flash of blue light, consult the troubleshooting guide.

| |

In a web browser app on the controller, verify that the ethernet connection to the RedEdge-P is configured correctly. Type 192.168.144.60 into the address bar and press enter. The RedEdge-P’s web interface will populate.

| | Software Setup Complete! | #### Troubleshooting Guide |

Cameras are not powered on / has no flashing lights

Occasionally, the camera will not fully initialize on bootup. Press and hold the power button on the bottom of both cameras for \~1 second to reboot and power on the cameras.
If the camera reboot did not work, remove the cameras from the dovetail and reinsert, ensuring a secure connection (click into place, handle clamped down).

Cameras have Flashing Red lights

This is caused by an error within the camera itself. Connect to the camera over wifi (See Applying Camera Software Settings) and look for any error present on screen. Run through the setup instructions again to verify all settings are properly configured.

One or Both Cameras are not taking pictures (no blue light)

First ensure there is no USB-C cable plugged into the aircraft.
If only one of the cameras is taking pictures, the DLS cable is likely plugged in incorrectly. Confirm that the thicker split end is plugged into the main camera (towards the front of the drone) and the thinner cable is plugged into the auxiliary camera (towards the rear). If you are unsure which cable goes where, try switching them to see if the issue is fixed.
If both cameras are not taking pictures, it is most likely caused by the capture settings being set incorrectly. Run through the section Applying Camera Software Settings again and confirm the capture settings are properly configured.
If the issue still persists, ensure the drone parameters are set properly. Run through the section Applying Aircraft Software Settings then try again.
If the issue continues to occur, manually verify these parameters in IGC (Vehicle Setup > Parameters). Try rebooting the aircraft to get these parameters to apply.

SERIAL4\_BAUD = 57

SERIAL4\_PROTOCOL = 1

SERVO7\_FUNCTION = 10
CAM2\_TYPE = 1
CAM2\_SERVO\_ON = 1900

CAM1\_TYPE = 0

If this has still not fixed the issue, there may be a faulty component. Contact Customer Success.
