Re: anyother robots smoke up?

If this is true, if the camera can get hot enough to melt the end of the PWM wires then it should be verified and guildlines for camera ventilation established.

The insulation melting the whole length of the wire doesnt surprize me. That sounds like there was an over current condtion (in the camera, or a short in the wire near the camera). The same current flows in the whole length of the cable, so if any part of its going to melt, its going to melt over its entire length.
