So I bought a used pcb with motors attached to it to put in a drone I bought second hand. (Should have just bought a good working drone but I'm a tinker Todd) I also bought a used camera that was "supposed to be working". Anyway I hooked the board up and connected it to my RC and everything was working good it even connected to djigo (no image of course). After I got all of this put together I figured I would hook up the camera and see how it worked. Well this messed everything up. The wiring that connects the camera to the front of the pcb got hot like it was shorted. I immediately pulled the battery from the drone. Now all I get from the drone is self checking lights and then it goes critical error. I assume that I burned up a good pcb. But could the camera be the cause? Is there any way to test the camera without plugging it into another board? I'm hoping that the wiring going from the camera to the main board was the issue.
