We use the Raspberry Pi Zero W with the Raspberry Camera v2. The camera is mounted in the Camera Pipe.

Camera in Pipe

  • Seal the camera with Elastosil. Use the pink dispenser needle with 0.58mm diameter
  • Fix the camera cable connector with hotmelt
  • Fix the camera with the four 1,7 x 4mm screws

Raspberry UART / Power Cable

The Raspberry 40 pin header must be connected to the PixRacer Telem2 and the power supply from the power module.

  • Cut one 6inch (152mm) JST-GH Cable in the middle
  • Cut 4 parts 140mm of the yellow cable
  • Remove 8 mm of the isolation of the JST-GH and the yellow cables on one side
  • Make a Y cable by putting the JST-GH and two yellow cables together with the white solder sleeve. (Heat level 5-6)
  • Make two of the above cables
  • One of the two yellow cables will go to the right side Pi where there are connected with a Harwin M20 connector.
  • Remove 3-4 mm isolation of the one of the yellow cables
  • Crimp a Harwin M20 connector to the cable with the Harwin crimp tool. Use the 26-28 AWG slot.
  • Push the cable through until you can barely see the copper - then crimp.
