Re: Possible 5v Power Distribution Trip

Find a 5v wall brick and hook it up to the camera power supply.

We actually killed the 5v supply on the DSC of our practice robot last year... We stopped using the camera on the comp. robot before this happened, so we just left it. This year, we are repurposing the practice robot control system for this years practice robot, and we decided to use a wall brick and drag an extension cord because we were just doing vision tracking and not actually moving (just rotating).
