Instructions On Getting ARC Camera Recognized

I have the ARC kit and have been testing it out (one bad servo) and have not been able to establish comm with the camera. The camera dongle is recognized by Windows 7 but there just is no video feed.

This is very energy inefficient for higher currents (e.g. 3A), because you are throwing away (7.5-5)*3A = 7.5W... As a result you need large heatsinks for...
