I am having a really hard time trying to connect a siyi a8 mini gimbal camera to my Jetson Orin Nano. I’d like to receive a rtsp stream; I was able to do it with an IP camera but this siyi a8 mini isn’t working the same way. What I have tried so far:
Connecting the gimbal to the jeston not only with the ethernet cable, but also with other cable connecting Gimbal’s UART to Jetson’s GPIO port (attachment 2), and then tried to use minicom but there was nothing readable just garbish
None of this was successful. Regarding the ethernet connection, it looks like they are connected but the gimbal doesnt “talk” to the jetson (attachments 3 and 4)
Any help is appreciated. Im feeling a bit lost on this. Thanks for reading.
Hello. Sorry for taking so long to comeback, I’ve been quite busy.
I indeed verified with other computer (a toshiba from 2014 or so), running ubuntu 22, and the connection to the siyi a8 mini was perfect.
So then I tried connecting the jetson to this old computer with the white and purple cable, and the connection was fine as well.
Can the black cable be problematic for the Jetson? I think it shouldn’t because it worked just fine on my computer but I’m really not an expert on this matter. I’ll attach some pictures of the cables. I cannot use the white and purple one to connect the jetson to the siyi because it’s not the same port. The black cable is the official cable that comes with the camera and it is jst-gh to rj45; the white and purple is rj45 to rj45.
