TS5828 and RX mounting ideas

Post by G1BVI » Mon Jan 22, 2018 7:27 pm

Hi All
Getting a few modules together for 5.6 GHz.
The TX is a 600mW Transmitter and I gather is going to get very hot.

In a drone it has forced air cooling but on terra firma it will require heatsinking.

I wonder how other members are mounting these as they have no fixing points.

my first thoughts are a perspex sheet over each unit with perhaps a piece of rubber over the transmitter to protect the transmitter components from being crushed by the plastic sjeet.

The transmitter would then be kept under pressure on a flat sheet with a smear of silicon compond in between to aid heat transfer.

Next step is an OSD generator.

I wonder what simple camera arrangements members have interfaced to these?

I have looked on ebay for a video cam with a composite video out.

still not decided yet which one to go for.
