Brilliant, i was wondering what the digital port he uses int he video is for.

if you dont want to open the camera you use the boards or cut the cable to charge the battery

if you want to try to open the camera and remove the battery you dont need the board or cable

im so sorry, im still a little lost....

my goal here is to remove the camera from case...cut the USB cord and a servo extension cord and solder them just like in sures video(power, ground and white cable for signal)

i was hoping this would power/charge the battery so i dont have to charge the camera on its own... or would this still require me to charge the camera battery on its own?

if i use the boards in the opening post will this require the removal of the battery? or not?

is the purpose of the boards in the opening post to keep the battery and recharge it?

man im lost...

there is no usb cable you need to cut,if you remove the case there is only the battery you need to remove and attach to wires to go to your board,can use battery for another project or toss it there is no signal wire that is for the servo

the camera is wireless it use bluetooth

try to understand the begining of the post its only for if you DONT WANT TO OPEN the camera case ONLY

ok gotcha,since i do want to open the camera this does not apply to me.

but.....the usb cable i meant is the power cable that comes with the camera...Sures cuts off the usb part of it and uses the red and black cables to connect to a servo extension cables....then the white cable from the servo cable he uses to solder on to the camera it self....

then plugs the end of that extension cable to the ezb.....

does this charge the battery?

hahahahaha ok cool, so i will follow the video to the t, and i will be good to go.....

one reason i dont like to cut the usb cable,most have very thin wires and they break very easy so thats why made it easy just to use a breakout board no cable to cut
