Re: Possible 5v Power Distribution Trip
How was the camera mounted; was the nut in the back connected directly to the metal bracket or was it connected to a polycarb piece connected to the bracket (as an electrical insulator)?
If you didnt have an insulator, you would have fed the camera with more than twice its wanted voltage by connecting it to raw battery voltage. That would surely kill it.
If you did have the polycarb, it would probably still work and probably did not see ~13v, but still could have. Did you have the camera connected to Ethernet?
The lights on the side of the camera lens are orange when it has power but not in use, they turn green when the camera is connected to by the cRio (I think thats what it is, it could be the camera booting up and the camera boot is always tied to the cRio boot)
