Pwm Slider Question Pwm On D4 Turns D14 On And Off

I am finding PWM slider issues, here's one that I have posted in the cloud, (is this the proper way to request help?) When the PWM slider on d4 is moved up to 100%, d14 output goes high. Then when I slide the d4 PWM slider down to 0% d14 then output goes low. This happens across multiple software revs, board os and 2 different v3 boards. This can...

question

Connectors, Sockets,Housing

If anyone is looking to make there own connectors you can get some nice crimpers, I use them a lot, that work on just about any pin type. They are 45 dollars, not bad considering that the one designed for a specific pin type will probably run you 250 to 300 dollars. They are at Digikey.com a company that is very nice to deal with. I also included...

Possible On/Off Camera Script Command?

DJ...First, outstanding job on the camera... I have no idea how you managed what you did and still the camera only draws about a 100mA... Wow!... Anyway.. no biggie (since the camera does not draw much power anyway)... But, would it be possible to have a script command to turn on and off the camera?

Just an FYI (probably doesn't really warrant a thread of it's own, but)... The EZB4 draws about 80mA idle (connected to the network and ARC, with no peripherals attached)... With the Camera plugged in (again @ idle) it is drawing about 180mA... Cheers
