Hi @searchforsigns and welcome to our forum!
Are those electronics from Moorebot Scout?
It would be this product:
I am not sure about the camera. Are there any markings or part numbers on this camera?
Hi Igor,‘! First of all many thanks for your answer!
That’s correct it is the circuit board and the cam from Moorebot Scout. Are you familiar with this system? Could you please help me to find a solution? Any information would be very helpful! My idea is to change the cam in Scout to another with a better solution! I buy a lot of other cams but with another FFC connection. Do you have an idea how I could implement another cam to scout? Kind regards

Hi @searchforsigns ,
Thank you for the details.
I am not so familiar with what is inside Moorebot Scount.
The camera that was already in it, how many pins does the FFC cable have and what is the pitch?
Hi Igor, the Orginal cable has 30 pins and 0,5 pitch and the cable/plug has 15 pins and 1,0 pitch. Is it possible to combine both wit an adapter or something similar?

I really don’t know.
Did you try plugging any of these new cameras that you bought?
I think it is very hard to try and improve this system without having a lot of information about it.
Hi Igor, yes I tried many times but it doesn’t fit. The original cable has 30 pins an 0,5 pitch and the cable of the new cam has 15 pins and 1,0 pitch. Are you familiar with python or Raspi? My next idea is to set up a complete new system with a cam and WiFi.

I’ve used Python but mostly for web scrapping and process automation, not really for robot programming,
I guess it is better for you to start from Raspberry Pi rather than using this Scout board for which we don’t have much information.
