Re: Camera not powered...?

I ran into similar problems last night. The items I went through to get mine working were:
1) Make sure 7.2 vdc battery is charged and connected.
2) Verify correct orientation of PWM cable providing power to the camera, on both ends.
3) Connect serial cable (actually a PWM cable) to camera rs-232 port and TTL board on RC.
4) Pan servo to PWM-01 on RC.
5) Tilt servo to PWM-02 on RC.
6) Camera power switch in ON (up) position.
7) Tether between RC and OI.
8) +12 vdc to RC

If all those are correct, it "should" work.
