Where does it get its power from? and many more, we have read the manual and instructions but it still doesn't help.
please help us  |
First off do you know C?
You want to connect a serial Cable, to the serial port on the camera, To a Serial port on your computer.
Using a PWM Cable you want to connect the power pins on the camera board, to a free PWM output on your Robot Controller. Make Sure that the Back Up Battery is plugged in.
Check this Camera Work book, its basically a tutorial.
