By the way (and maybe this isn't the right place), is there any record of the pinout of the camera cable? It would be good to find out which wires are carrying actual high-speed data and which are just for grounding or power. Some may even be unused. http://www.raspberrypi.org/wp-content/uploads/20...

I don't know about Zoneminder but Motion works just fine on Rpi (using USB-webcam). I have the impression that the camera module is not quite as simple to use with these programs as USB-cameras are. I.e. camera module cannot be defined in configuration files same way as USB-devices can. Not sure if ...

Just ordered from RS.
Haven't received a confirmation email though and my order reference number looks somewhat suspicious.

EDIT: just received confirmation. And now ref.# seems legit (was "-1").

Hi! take a look at FrSky's telemetry products. Can be bought e.g. from HobbyKing. They are also quite "hobbyist friendly" with their documentation. Reason for suggesting these is that from these at least you get the data already wrapped in nice packets which you need to figure out what to do with th...
