I've seen the hack for the on/off camera controls to allow the EZ-B to control the camera (pretty slick) but for those that have done it, how handy is it? For instance, would you say its in your top 10 list of most handy hacks or just something to do if you must?
I have my camera wired for power off the EZ-B but not switchable from there and I find that very handy. But when I turn my robot on, I just go ahead and turn the camera on also, manually. If the camera was total covered that would be pain for sure.

So, if the camera is inaccessible it is always worth doing.
That said, the camera in Melvin turns itself on when the EZ-B is powered up, I'm not sure if this is how it is designed but it seems to remember the last known state (either that or mine has developed a "fault")
