Re: camera power supply

First we hooked up a pwm cable to supply power from the RC to the camera module, but noticed that within a couple of hours of testing, the backup battery died. So we decided to just use an external power supply running at around 7V (approx voltage measured from pwm output) and connect that to the power input of the camera. We found using a power supply easier for calibration and testing of the camera since it did not drain the back up battery. But when running the actual robot you probably want to connect to the pwm output.
