Re: Backup Battery life and the CMUCam
Actually the spec for the CMU cam is 5.2v to 8.6v. You can run the camera off the Digital Inputs, or Analog Inputs and it will run off the 12v battery instead of the backup battery. If you use any servos you should definitely build a changing circuit. Hope that helps.
Team 40 Runs a TTL cable directly from the RC to the TTL port on the camera. The camera gets powered by the RC and only requires one cable. If you go over 2ft of cable you should use a shielded cable.
