Hey Folks,
This is my first post to this message board, and I am certainly glad I found you folks--I was wondering if you could give me some advice on a laboratory research project I am currently working on. I am a little light on electronics, so please excuse my ignorance.
I have a 12V DC battery pack (shown in one of the pictures) from which I am powering a mini camera (also shown in one of the pictures). However, I would also like to power a small LED from this same battery pack. My questions are:
1. How should I go about connecting this LED to the pack? Just solder a suitable resistor to the LED and then solder suitable gauge wires to the ends? Are connectors available to solder to the end for connecting to the pack?
2. Is it possible to obtain a splitter to connect both camera and LED?
3. Would you suggest covering the wires and resistor in heat-shrinkable tubing up to the LED? Is there something else that should be used?
4. Does anyone have experience with these mini-cameras? They have BNC connectors at the end--I believe one is for HD output. Is it just a matter of connecting it to a display?
Any advice or guidance would be most appreciated. Thank you for your help.
Cheers,
TC
