Re: Connecting 7.2V (directly) to camera
When I tested ours about an hour ago I had to run the camera directly off the RC ( Robot controller). You do this with the PWM cables. Connect the PWM cable to port J2, on the "bottom" of the camera board. Located next to the tiny switch. Connect the other end of the cable to a PWM port on the RC, doesn't matter which one as it only uses the port for power. Next connect the backup batter (blue package about 3x2) to the RC, using the 5 inch long adapter cable. then connect power via the 12 volt battery to the RC, please run through the breaker/fuse box. Your camera should zero out and there should be one or two lights on the camera.
