Noisy Camera

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.

@Dave, The drivers feel good in the hand and there is more control to apply needed torque than you would have using the smaller jewelers screwdriver kits found at ebay and the soon to be closed Radio Shacks.

@rich, at least he got someone to post something.

Consider what happens when you do this with the camera, mounted on the two neck servos: Pan fully to the right. Then tilt down and up, this will rotate the camera image, from portrait to landscape and back again. That's why I have problems with the X and Y axes, and pan and tilt, in a 3D world :-( I.e. I have no problems in understanding what's going on, but I have not much use for axes which do not correspond to servo motor axes. That's all.

I can supply a video, as soon as video recording will work.

simple just swop the two neck servos around keeping the ports the same I've done the same because I like the image to stay landscape and come on Mr Dodi experiment a bit it's what EZ robot is about tired
