Hopefully this idea will appeal to someone out there who can help.
I bought myself a wireless internet camera (D-Link DCS-2120). Looking at putting a camera up outside at home to keep an eye on the nasties around the place...
Now you think wireless, cool, then what's it doing with a honking great big power adapter!!
So my idea for a project is to take a solar panel and a motorcycle battery to power this unit. A motor cycle battery is 6v, and the power adapter on the camera is 5v.
Anyone know of what I'll need to not fry the camera if I hook it up to the battery, and then I'll need some way of charging the battery and having it regulate when the battery is fully charged.
Any help appreciated...
