Hi buhochileno!

The chanel number is optional, normaly you can use like you want.

Yes the CM-5 provide only energy to the camera and isn't to comunicate whit CM-5, and yes the camera have 2 conectors you use the J1.

The manual say "if you don't see the image, check that the tranmiter and receiver are in the same channle" is correct, behind the camera have a mini switch that control the channel and the reciver have to. The button CH is by change the chanels isn't a specific chanel, it change between 1 at 4. I mean you push CH and stay 2 or 3 seconds in channel 1 then change to channel 2, then 2 or 3 seocnd after change to channel 3...

In my case was actually kind of more complicated than that, after a camera set trip to korea, it was finally that the power supply included by robotics says "Output 9v 500mA", but it is for 110v Input, so I use one as that but for 220v that we use here in Chile, but as finally turn out, the receiver use 1A, not just 500mA, so after use a 9v 1A output power supply all begins to work...also after a little hack it is posible to use it on linux to!!

Thanks anyway..

bioloid wireless camera issue..

2009-06-15T19:01:13+01:00

Hi,

I decide to ask, becouse I don't think that setting up the wireless camera included in the bioloid expert kit it was so dificult...

First let me say that documentation about proper setup is very poor about this topic in the included resources of the expert kit, but as I can see to test thinh I only have to connect the receiver to the power, then to the PC with the USB cable (all that fine.., my receiver is set by defoult at channel 3) and then acording to the 1 instruction page just connect the camera to the CM-5, first couple of questions here:

- that is just for power porpueses right?, the camera don't talk with the CM-5 right?
- the camera have 2 connector, witch one I supose to use? (anyway I try it both)

then the instruction says something like this "if you don't see the image, check that the tranmiter and receiver are in the same channle"..?!!, I can change the channel in the reciver, but how can I be sure what is the channel used by the camera to transmit??, anyway I try changing to all the channels in the receiver...

Last question:

What the white button that only say "CH" without number in receiver does?

no matter what I try I only get noise in the vision example programs...

Any ideas, sugestions?

thanks
