Re: Connecting 7.2V (directly) to camera

Just curious, I'm remembering our accelerometers from last year and wondering if red = power and white = signal or reversed. Has anyone tried to plug the camera into the RC, pull out their handy dandy multimeter, and get some readings? Also pwm (Im assuming the camera works on the same voltage) output 5 volts 7.2 may be too much. If I were to power it directly, and I'm still not sure why I you need to or are willing to risk expensive hardware to do it, I would use a reliable power source like my handy dandy (I like that term) PC power supply as apposed to a chemical battery.
