Hey guys, ive seen a few posts where people have said they have moded the ez camera to run off the ez board / main power supply, and removed the need for a power switch etc, but cant find any details on how to perform them.
Anyone got any details on how to do these? Or even better a video?
Cheers
Matt
There is a tutorial video on this site. I have done two cameras and before the mod they were very flaky. But, after the mod, they have been rock solid.
hope this helps.

Hey MovieMaker, do you knowwhich video?
Ok, i found this one

But is there a way to wire it so you can remove the little battery it comes with? Or is this already it? Just make the mod and cut it off?
Hi,

You got it winstn60 - I followed what you did and it works beautifully.
I am a little late. sorry. I was going to say that both were fine. I did cut the battery off of it because it is so small and doesn't really do much. But, it works GREAT, doesn't it?
So can the camera safely handle to 5v connected tothe battery terminals? Or should you really step down the voltage?
A little late possibly but my camera has been running on +5v since I got my EZ-B and has had no problems handling it. Admittedly it's only been on for a short time and only a handfull of times. Soldered direct to the PCB as winstn60's method rather than cutting the USB cable.
It has an issue with the EZ-B turning it on and off - as in it turns on fine (sometimes without me even asking) but wont turn off. Not a problem as I don't ever want to turn it off when the ez-b is on. Is that normal?
