AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around creating a helmet cam for snowboarding using small cameras, specifically a "pc 166 xs" model. The user seeks guidance on identifying the function of four wires (two black, red, blue) from the camera's cable, unsure which are for power and which are for video input/output. Suggestions include researching similar cameras for standard wiring color conventions and examining the camera's internal connections. Additionally, the user is looking for advice on how to record and save video using available electronic components, including dismantled digital cameras and SD cards. Overall, the thread emphasizes the need for basic electronics knowledge and practical troubleshooting tips.

I'm trying to make a helmet cam for when i go snowboarding, i have a few small cameras to use, ps2 eye-toys and a small one labeled "pc 166 xs ".

my first question is regarding the small camera, its cable has 4 wires (2 black, red, blue) and I am not sure which are power and which are video input/outputs. how can i find out?

my second question is how can i make these cameras record and save video?
i have a variety of electronic components to work with as well as a few dismantled digital cameras and sd cards for memory, i also have a basic stamp.

im new to electronics so any info on any of this would be very helpful

Hi maggiemay, http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/5725/red5e5etimes5e5e45e5e25.gif

Perhaps have a look online at similar cameras, maybe there is a standard color convention for the leads? Are you able to see any of the electronics in the camera, to maybe see what the different colors connect to? Post a pic if you can. Beyond this, I'm afraid I'm no help. ☹[/size][/color]

I wish you well with your project.

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
