Unfortunately I can't find the cable to transfer the pics from the camera to the laptop LOL. Instead, here's a pic of the battery pack that was in the email confirmation.It has 8 LiPol cells at 5000 Mah with a 29.6 v rating.Smartphone? Why not use that?Believe it or not I don't have a smartphone atm. Still can't find the camera cable. Maybe it's worth getting a replacement USB cable which don't cost that much... Hope the build's still going ok though.Thought of that o.c except it's not that easy. It came with a proprietary USB cable with an odd type of connector at one end, can't find a replacement anywhere - even mfrs don't do it any more as camera is discontinued years ago. As said earlier, still not started the actual build yet as some parts still to arrive or get...Hmm, I see the problems. An obvious solution I see is to get another basic point-and-shoot digital camera but one that takes a standard USB cable, or a mid-spec smartphone with camera and just take some more pics of the build. Either can be had now for well under £100/$130 in high-street electronics and mobile phone shops. Global ModeratorThanks, and I agree I'll prob have to get another cheapo camera.

Maybe then we'll see some actual build pics.
Looking forward to it! Seems like an interesting project, and glad you found that cable!Admin

If ppl think I'm dragging this out a bit because of no actual build pics yet; well someone once told me things are often more difficult than they say they are and will take longer than you might think...
