When I start the camera of my Roli, it produces some noise (rattling), when I stop it the noise disappears. Are there any movable parts inside the camera bit?
What could be wrong?
Also the camera does not always have the proper network address. I have to adjust the robot address whenever it connects to my WLAN (client mode), and until the recent update the camera address followed what I entered in the Connection window. But since the update to 2015.02.06.00 (firmware v16.6) I observed both the noise and the lack of address synchronization.
Although there are no hand tool designers in this forum I'm sure others will agree that even though we are all basically robotic hackers no one is an expert in hand tools, exact sizes, etc. I'm not suggesting how you should open your camera case but I've included a couple of images of the Phillips head driver I use for such endeavors. I never go out to a hardware store (or online) and order just a single tool for a single task. I always plan to use a tool more than once and since most tools come in more than one size I always look for sets or kits that provide me with lots of options.
Perhaps you could hire a screwdriver from the local tool hire place?
Good.
EDIT Rant removed. I misread on my phone. Apologies to all.
I wish someone would lock and/or delete this thread.

@Zap... you're right this thread has really ran off into the ditch... I think it should be removed...
Okay, I think I got it.
This means that this servo (Neck Vertical) makes the camera look along the Y (vertical) axis (up/down, tilt), by rotating the camera around the X (horizontal) axis.Thanks for your kind and patient assistance :-)
Wow, 55 posts and he finally gets what was said in posts 6, 9, 14, 15, 23...
Once more for luck... The vertical servo, which is labeled as the Y axis in the control since the Y axis is the vertical axis, will cause the camera fitted to it to rotate up and down or tilt across the vertical (y) axis. The horizontal servo, which is labeled as the X axis in the control since the X axis is the horizontal axis, will cause the camera fitted to it to rotate left and right or pan across the horizontal (x) axis.
Hey @Robot Doc, those are some nice looking PC Precision Screw Drivers. I might drive over to Harbor Freight and pick up a set for the $10 USD they are asking. How do they feel in the hand while using on small screw heads like connector blocks? Are they strong and hold up?
