Re: Has Anybody played with the Camera?

Thanks for clearing all that up, Kevin. With that info in mind, I think I know what to work on next

Back to the other posts (that I seemed to have skipped over)...

We found that the servo movement and the camera power was dependent upon the backup battery... so you might want to change that before messing with the USB-to-Serial cable. In theory, a USB port should be able to emulate the data transfer of a Serial port, but that's just theory... it might or might not work
