Hey all I am wondering how to go about switch from camera 1, 2 or 3 using this 3 Channel Video Switcher Module on ebay here.
Since there's only V+, V- and signal for the "switch" it looks to take a PWM but I am not quite sure if that's correct or not. If correct then how would I (in code) send that out for each camera to change?
UPDATE
Well I've tried the following code:
int LED_pin = 9; // must be one of 3, 5, 6, 9, 10 or 11 for PWM
void setup() {
pinMode(LED_pin, OUTPUT); // Initialize pin for output
}
void loop() {
int dtwait = 1000; // Pause interval, milliseconds
int V1=20, V2=220, V3=120; // 8-bit output values for PWM duty cycle
analogWrite(LED_pin, V1);
delay(dtwait);
analogWrite(LED_pin, V2);
delay(dtwait);
analogWrite(LED_pin, V3);
delay(dtwait);
}
and just to test it I hooked up 2 green LEDs to digital pin 9 and I can confirm it does light the led's in 3 stages. From bright, medium and then dim-ish.
So I went ahead and powered up the FPV by hooking it up like so:
One looks like it says P15V 331QE BZ10
While the other side has one that maybe says STC 15F104E F-4V938.A
What could I be doing incorrectly?

I used a very similar switch with an Arduino (to generate the PWM signal). Have a look here:
