It is a 70060 MobiCam by Mobi.
DerKraken said:Any idea what the issue is with the battery pack you're using? I'm guessing the monitor came with one supplied, or did you build your own pack to go with it?
As always (and repeated infinitum) stellar work!
LeeKegan said:It had a 4 cell AA built in and I purchaced a 4 cell pack to hook into it with!
The monitor takes a 6 cell and I had to go with an 8 cell to get it to work so I may have to go with a 6 cell to get the camera board to work.
I don't know. I need to get the technical specs on how many amps it needs and see what the batteries are producing buy me extending the lines and with thicker wires.
marioknight92 said:Stupid thing to ask here but what was wrong with the old batteries think i more then sure you could make a battery pack that would fit that out of wood lol
LeeKegan said:It didn't come with batteries, just the built in holder for the batteries, which I couldn't easily cut out of the plastic frame that the camera and camera circuit board where mounted in. So I purchaced battery holders.
Loess said:Good point, DK. I'd have just assumed that the battery holder in the monitor was wired in series, and wouldn't even have checked.
DerKraken said:If you haven't already thought of this, make sure that the battery holders are wired in the same manner as the battery holder the monitor came with. Its likely that the generic holder you bought is set up for 1.5V, and all the batteries are wired in series.
I'm pretty sure that AA's are 1.5V, so if all 4 are wired in parallel, you'll have a 6V system. If all of them are wired in series, you'll still just have 1.5V, but more mAh. 2 banks of 2 batteries in parallel, wired together in series, 3V... etc etc.
Best thing to do would probably be check the output voltage of the AC adapter the monitor came with. That will tell you if its 1.5V, 3V, or 6V, and then you'll know how you need to modify your battery holder. Hope that makes sense!
I think you meant that if the batteries are wired in series, the total voltage will be 6V. Parallel connection with only give you 1.5V.DerKraken said:If you haven't already thought of this, make sure that the battery holders are wired in the same manner as the battery holder the monitor came with.

can we get a vid with scope in action?
The Hunter II4 said:with the batteries you could use 9v batteries and also very nice work on the scope you cesce to amaze me
LeeKegan said:Tommorrow!
... I just love to build!
