Color Camera Kit, continued
The Camera draws power from a motor port on a VEX Microcontroller plug the 2-prong
connector into a 3-pin socket so that the connector is against the at edge (not the keyed edge)
as shown. The key on the connector should NOT be inserted into the key of the socket.
Note: The robot must be turned “on” for the Camera to receive power. You cannot have the
robot turned “off” and still operate the camera.
Once the Camera is mounted and connected to power, it is time to turn the system on. Ensure
that both the Camera unit and the Receiver are set to the same channel. (Each of these units
has a “Channel Selector Switch”, set these to the same number). Turn both units “on”, and
set the TV to the correct video input channel (this will vary, depending on the TV).
