need some info and spec

[ZORG]

Hi
I have some questions for you, more expert than me, on this device.

I have an android 4.4 device (minix neo x8-h), I installed the android app for the YI, but when I connect to the camera the app crash. So I tryed another generic app, but have the same problem.
The software find the camera but crash on "receiving info".
I updated firmware to the v1.0.12 for my Revision 23S.
I updated the app to version 1.5
but nothing changed.. still cannot connect to the camera.
Any tip or suggestion?

Is there a list of trusted devices (smartphones and tablets) for the YI app?
Which Android version do you use? 4.1 - 4.2 - 4.4

Do you have the pinout of the usb? I want to connect the YI to an external battery, and use the AVout.

Thank you

can't say I've heard of anyone successfully connecting the camera to a TV box, probably not something the devs consider when compiling the firmware either

try the pc app and for usb av out use same cable as for sj4000 cameras. u need to enable av out in the config first.

Me neither and good call because if it were able to be connected to a TV then I'd remove the battery and plug straight into a power socket...... Just as I do with my laptop at home.

Thanks to all

I have linux and win7 64, but no wifi connection on pc, so I cannot use that useful application.

I ordered that cable, but I want to be sure that the pins for the external battery are correct for the YI camera.
Otherwise I fry it.

A WI-FI dongle maybe..... Dunno really.

i didnt try the power pins just the AV out feature

its not like xiaoyi is gonna develop their own flavor of usb pinout

you can do both.. just to clarify, there should be power adapter between wall socket and the camera

Just so you know... many devices will refuse to power up if there isn't battery attached. It acts as a "capacitor" for power spikes that cannot be handled that well by electronics of the camera / charger. And lets be honest, most of chinese power adaptors are not that good.
