I am a newbie . What do you mean by "hack a cable" and how would this cable look/work? do you need to "hack a cable" for the edu bot and the frc bot? or just one. do you use a pwm cable to go from ttl to ttl port? I could not find anywhere what cables you use where? When do you use the ttl chip that came with it? Is that only for testing? One person said "obviously you don't need the +5v" and the other said to "hack a cable" so I am very confused. I have been tring to get the camera to work for a few days. The only led that comes on is green, and I think it is the power one. I have gotten the camera to center itself, that's it. grrr, I feel like everyone has figured this out but me.

I know this might be a lot to ask but could someone make a quick schematic on paint of all the conections you need to get the camera to work? I have not found any good solid and simple info or diagrams in any documentation, so I think that would be REALLY HELPFUL to alot of people!

I know that is alot of questions so thanks for all your help in advance!
I should probably create a new thread for this but I know people don't like that.
