AHP, iWitness and VK74A

[pvyaka01]

I've installed AHP and iWitness plug-in. Cannot control the Ninja Pan 'n Tilt using the module. It works with the remote, though. Any pointers?

Thanks!

Unfortunately it may be an RF signal strength issue and I haven't seen any mods that increase the CM15A's transmit strength. To reach my camera from the CM15A, I had to move it about 6 ft over and 5 ft up.

You can test it by making a macro the send the camera a pan signal, set a timer on the macro and then plug the CM15A into an outlet near the camera.

Complaints about the CM15A's transmitting antenna are few & far between as compared to its receiving antenna.

However, if better range or antenna placement is required, one could always do the F-Connector Mod for the internal transmitting antenna as well. The transmit & receive frequencies are the same, so all the specs of the posted external receiver antenna mod will apply (i.e. length of antenna elements).

I suspect because the transmitting application is used less often and by fewer people.

Thanks! I didn't realize that.

Thanks. I will try out some of these suggestions.

Thanks for you all offering suggestions. I made a basic mistake. Had CM15A plugged in to a surge protector! I plugged it into a wall socket and it works now!
