Raspberry Pi and Camera
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
- Add the 15cm Pi Zero camera cable
- 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.
