all you need is usb type a female breakout board and a 5 volt source,plus usb charging cable that comes with the camera here is a link to usb breakuot board for $6.95 ic shipping
first link is usb 3.0
this is the one i bought ,other dont know if will work on usb 2.0 type A USB MALE and its little cheaper at $6.58
did DJ Sures use any of these in his tutorial videos?
ive ordered the camera and was going to follow the videos exactly.....can you explain the need for the boards....sorry im such a newb.
yes camera works by BLUETOOTH,but has battery inside that needs to be charged with ac adapter
this idea is to keep it always charged only need 2 wires 5 volts v+ and gnd
to use the camera you need to charge the battery,then plug in usb dongle and start usb builder and add video also in bluetooth you need to set paring code 1234,then in video do camera select and should see a picture
remember this idea i posted is only to keep the battery charged
oh!!!!!!!! so no need to disconnect it and charge it for use again this way it stays in all the time.... GOTCHA!!!
can i bother you for some pics......
I tossed the battery and run the camera off the EZ-B. Just like the video. Soooooo much simpler.
but wait, in the video i think Sures keeps the battery in right?
Bookmaker so you dint have to charge the battery? and you didnt use the boards in the opening post?
yes if you want to open the case is little hard,done that on one camera i got other didnt want to open case for my create project so not really simple to open the camera and remove the battery
there is 2 ways to do it one is remove the back of camera thats glued in ,need a really good screw driver to pry it out and then un- solder the battery other is make a cable using breakout out board or can cut the cable very simple and red and black wire to 5 volt supply so really depends on how you are using the camera in your design i have mine on a pan and tilt design just remove the bottom plate and add my plate without opening the camera,that might get ruined, but on another camera i need to open the case to fit inside my robot ,so i did open it and removed the battery
ok so even if i want to follow Sures Video i will have to un solder the battery?
i want to make sure i got it straight... I Do want to open the camera.
If follow Sures video, i will keep the camera battery and have to charge it every time the batteyr dies, correct?
or i can use the boards in the opening post, un solder the battery,so it can get power from the ezb. correct?
or am i lost?
If you can get inside you can control the on-off with the EZ-B directly as in the video.
