Re: Camera power cable

If you have an edu controller that is the easiest way to do it. If not then do this...

take the power adapter shown in alan andersons post, now find male spades that will fit into the crimp ons on the adapter cut the female end off of a pwm cable, solder the spades onto the red and black wires of the pwm cable, attach the adapter to the spades then the battery (the 7.2v blue one) to the adapter and plug it into the power port on the camera.

If you have an extra adapter you can cut the crimp on ends off the adapter and solder the red and black wires directly together.

Either way save the female end of the cable, you will need it if you want to add sensors or limit switches to your robot.

good luck
