You think that was fun, wait till you get some pictures......
Mine is working great, w90. Did you take the wires out through the speaker? I did.
Wish spring would get here soon.....

Fred, I got your cameras today. You had the white wire on the black camera soldered to the wrong spot. Took a couple of minutes to fix that. Both cameras are hacked and will be in the mail tomorrow. Baseballstud, your stuff will be in the mail finally tomorrow.
We are going to have the trailcam building workshop in Walla Walla in April. Some of you guys need to come for a refresher course in soldering. I will start out with the basics, like which end of the soldering iron plugs into the wall oulet. Some of you seem to be making this more difficult than it really is.

Didn't you say something like common sense. Your kidding me, must have been when my wife took over.
Sorry for the trouble Bob, I'll be at the front of the class at the redo class in April!!! THANKS!

What is the colored stuff you put on it? I wouldn't mind throwing some of that stuff on my cameras.

Bondo Glass, then brown primer, then different colored craft paints from Wal-Mart and then a clear sealer.

Well been having some fun...errr issues. I got everything hooked up, (Thanks Bob for hacking the camera for me!!) The board turned on, did the test walk, senses motion, turns the camera on and extends the lense and does everything BUT take a photo. SO called and spoke with Bob and he told me how to trouble shoot and make sure my connections are good and they are. Everything works right down to where is attaches tot he board. So I guess I will e-mail Mark at Yeti and ask for advice.
I am good at the connections now that I have redone them several times.
It's all a learning experience.

Take the camera out of the case and make sure it can take a picture. If it can, then the possible causes I know of are
Memory full
Too dark to focus and focus assist isn't on.
One thing to try is to turn on dipswitch 4. That will light the led when it senses motion. Both my w80 and my w150 will not take a photo with flash on the first sensed motion. Keep moving in front of the camera until it senses motion 2 or more times and see if it works.

Camera works perfectly on it's own and by shorting the appropriate wires all the way down to the wires that connect to the board.
Memory is empty
Focus is set to--Focus - Multi point AF
The LED lights up fine and it sense motion no problem, it does everything it's supposed to except snap a shot. I'll go try and keep moving for a bit in from of it and see if it does anything.
Thanks
