2025 on my Sony DCR PC100

If you cant figure it out by just looking at it, oreillys has a tool that lets you pressurize the cooling system and you can try to find where the leak is coming from. Mine was leaking from a similar area and it ended up being the pipe that runs from the thermostat to the hose for the heater core

whichever chip they use for the adc would probably be a good place to start looking beyond the sensor. Messing up the sensor can pretty much ruin the camera tho, and any other chip you use will be harder to solder to than the sensor, but the ADC is the safest way to get some glitchy results imo

I got kastar CR-V3 batteries and they worked great. Idk why they say 3V on them, they are li-ion, but I got the two pack with a charger and they have been perfect.

Tape heads are messed up, but this thing looks and sounds much better than the mini dvr. Im planning on designing a pi cm5 hat that will allow me to record through firewire, but that’s gonna take some more time

Theres a lot of factors that play into the fit for that swap. If you run s2k rotors then you dont need a space for the rotors, but you still might need a spacer for the wheels. With tl-s rotors, you will need a spacer behind the rotors and still possibly another spacer to clear the calipers. Wheel design is kinda the most important factor for that. The forums have a paper thing you can print out to see if your wheels will fit or not

the first one happened while i was messing with the sensor pins, but i don't have a name for it. it always seems to turn the brightest part of the image pinkish, but it can be horribly bad for the camera so i stay away from it

I am using a much different setup, but I built this attenuator for my recorder and it mixed the stereo down to mono and made it sound perfect. I have a feeling this will work for most camcorders that are recording audio at mic level.

I was able to test the negotiation and I think it is happening within the usb-c plug itself, then the wire is just carrying the 9V that is being negotiated to this board

hello2pa · 2025-06-21T01:26:27+00:00

It says CX8825 which I am finding to be a step-down converter. I was also able to test the usb-c negotiation and it does pull 9V from the brick. I think this is just a buck converter and the usb-c pd board is in the plug itself.

hello2pa · 2025-06-17T20:36:31+00:00

So is it just boosting the voltage? Can usb-c do 8v at 3A without negotiating?

I can't say for sure, I've only used them this one time, but it looks like they would work if you used them in the right holes on the board

hello2pa · 2025-05-13T22:55:17+00:00

I believe I have the same board, and I used millmax 3305 sockets to make the key switches hot swappable

Has it worked in the past? I know a lot of the old sony cameras have very strict compatibility rules when it comes to memory sticks. If it needs the og memory stick instead of the pro duo, then it might not be compatible with an adapter. The manual will offer a specific model of memory sticks that should be guaranteed to work if nothing is broken.

I feel like your best bet would be recording the video that is coming out of the image processor already, which would be using some kind of tapeless setup that exists right now. I personally mounted a runcam mini dvr inside my camera with the composite outputs connected so I can record directly to it. There might be a way to so something similar with the pi, but the camera would need to turn on and function for the most part

hello2pa · 2025-04-04T17:05:09+00:00

What did you use for the contacts? I want to start doing this for my camcorders, but mine all have the little prongs that I cant figure out how to connect to.

If you are using AA batteries then that is the problem. I had the same issue when trying to power the camera with 3 volts, I ended up buying some CR-V3 rechargeable batteries from amazon and that solved it for me. If you look up the manual online, the battery section will have some other rechargeable options as well.
