I eventually got one of these cameras via an Ebay seller. But how to you get the thing apart? is it just a case of prising the black ends off? I need to modify the power switch as this won't be accessible when my Robot's finished
yeah he is amazing... a crazy man of the robots! jajaja I want to leep .. i think that I will have to wait until this afternoom... lol! jajja see you later!! thanks for the help!
I have a question. If you wire it as in the video, will you have to still plug in the wireless adapter?

Wireless adaptor that comes with the camera is for receiving the live feed. The EZ-B bluetooth is incapable of transfering the camera's feed. The connections in the video are used to activate the camera.
Do I need to remove the Lipo battery after soldering job ?
I do. No need for the battery after its connected with power
Following the video I wired my camera I got with the EZ-robot kit and it works, however one of the EZ-Board heatsinks gets really hot, and I have nothing else connected. I removed the battery from the camera as well and now the EZ-Board does not get hot and I can turn the camera power on and off through the software(blue light on the camera turns on and off), unfortunately there is no video. After re-checking everything I ended up re-connecting the battery that came with the camera and it works fine, are these newer cameras?
#charleybot not heard this before? I think if you leave the battery on the camera you need to connect power from the EZ-B via the mini USB connector. That should work ok and also charge the camera battery.
With the battery off you need to sometimes pulse the digital port on and off to switch the camera on just like pressing the camera button. It needed on mine a bit of trial and error all I can think of
Hi winstn60. Im about to mod 2 cameras and need to have the game plan. I dont want to need to press the power button to turn it on. So doing the power bypass mod will that cause the camera to come on when ezb does? Once the cams are in Jarvis and dusty they are not accessible. So will the cam come on without pressing the button? Thanks guys -Josh S
