How did you run both the video and the info for the VEX robot controller on the same tether?

TheOtherGuy · #47 23-05-2008, 23:06

Yes we are; we're using the twisted pairs of CAT-6 cable to prevent any interference, although we recently bought some more flexible cable for the miniROV with untwisted solid wires, and the signals work just fine on that tether.

The signal from the video camera goes up the tether on one twisted pair, while the signal from the vex transmitter goes down the tether on a different twisted pair. Network cable (cat5, cat6) has 4 pairs, phone cable usually has 2 or 3 pairs.

Ok cool. Are you using a webcame or one of those circuit board cameras(not sure what the name is).

MrForbes · #50 23-05-2008, 23:47

We're using some board cameras from SuperCircuits. although of the 3 we bought, the last one didn't work, so we need to get some more.
