Re: WARNING- New camera meets magic smoke

Quote:
you can power it using whatever you want, and methinks they decided to use a cordless drill battery (btw what gave you that idea? is it the right voltage?). But this is probably a good thing to take note of, as it should apply even if you are using the pwm power hookup (though I am sure I have hooked mine up backwards a few times so I dunno why ours is ok....? I actually managed to make ours track a target today. It was a great moment.) Im sorry to hear about your camera though.
Hey...drills are my friends....well okay, so we had a few lying around....

did anyone happen to get a picture of this spectacular event?
Sorry, no, but I can recreate it. . .
Small cubical, to the right of the keyboard was the camera and its accessories. Power cords clip onto the battery and at that moment, right along side of that computer adapter cord, a very bright orange glow emits and smoke billows up. Many crackling sounds, the light goes out...and the room smells like magic smoke
