moonlit Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 This one's not quite so half-assed as the one I posted a moment ago - it's quite different, that's why it's got it's own thread... I have sitting in front of me now: (yeah I know, I recycled that line...) 1 x 8v Wireless camera, 1 x 9-12v Receiver w/Composite Out for aforementioned camera. (The receiver is no longer in it's case - I took it out to mod it into my rig but then I decided to remove it again... it's now a bunch of circuits on my desk). Now, the thing is, the camera's power socket came loose because it was cheap and tacky... I cut the socket off of the little power cable and what do I see? Erm... 3 wires... A red one, a white one and a yellow one... The problem is that I don't know how this works... I'm used to having a + and a - and maybe some data wires in there somewhere - but there's nowhere for data to go, 'cos it's wireless! The data goes out of the antenna... now, I know transmitters have odd circuits because you can't just have one end of a circuit going nowhere, but I can't figure out which wire is which... I'm rather hoping I haven't killed the poor little thing by reversing the polarity of the power (for too long)... It's a bit difficult to use trial and error because whilst trying to test which wires go where, I have to also make sure that the receiver is tuned... it has a manual tuning dial just to make things difficult! If anyone has any ideas, do yell, and when I get it figured out I will decide what to mod it into... it's gotta go somewhere... *thinks*... Cheers guys, MLOIOTN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melodic Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 cool, fuck soldering, melt the crap together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted April 15, 2006 Author Share Posted April 15, 2006 that's quite a plan, that... I'll wire the red, white and yellow randomly and see if it catches fire... then it'll melt the solder for me... and everything else... but mostly the solder...

moonlit Posted April 15, 2006 Author Share Posted April 15, 2006 I dunno, this thing does get pretty hot... but thanks... *grabs petrol, drops some on the floor and accidentally drops his lit cigarette... then runs around in a circle getting slightly warm... then uses his Deadly DIY Desk Fan to blow himself out...* ... *slowly meanders back towards the topic...* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonlit Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 I could do, but until I find out what that third wire does, I can't... *tries google again* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technologique Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Ooooooh, I've seen this movie. No matter what you do to your wireless camera, don't cut the red wire. Seriously, nothing good will come of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
