P.ixhawk will have NOTHING to do with the drone. Camera docs show three cables.
One plugged into Pixhawk Telemetry 1. The other 2 are PWM3 and 4 and are plugged
into Pixhawk auxiliary outputs. The pixhawk will be connected sbus on a Radiolink R12DS.
GPS module is plugged into the Pixhawk.
I am barely computer literate. Struggled to get Mission Planner installed. This pixhawk is
STRICTLY for GPS and a few camera settings attached to PWM3 and 4 in the Flir app.
No drone, voltage, data, servos …nothing. I need no flight controls.
What do i have to configure in Mission Planner? Firmware update ? The radio section ?
Thanks, Oldranger.
Will this be on a fixed-wing or multirotor aircraft? I ask that just so you can load the same type of firmware which might make things easier (or not)
Do all or your First Time Setup and calibrations (accel/gyro, compass, RC radio), then the camera connections might be like this:

Give it a go, see what you come up with and then describe the exact issues.
Got it. Will do. Thank you very much.
( i did search pixhawk flir )
Well, didnt get far. install firmware, copter v4 ( 4 rotors) platform, 3 or 4 choices, all pixhawk 1 variations 1, 1-1M, 1-1M- bdahot.
. i have 2.4.8. Sorry, but this stuff never works for the uninitiated.
Pixhawk1 is the correct firmware for your flight controller
Thank you. i read the flir link. good info on the pixhawk settings. i got a gps module to record locations of flir targets. Then it dawned on me that i see gps data on the drone controller so i’ll just take notes of targets and forget the still images required by flir. I can then use p3 and p4 to change color pallets (3) scene, or the 3 zoom options.
Thanks again. You are appreciated.
