Lifecam HD-3000 Fixed Mount

Some basic files to hard mount a Lifecam HD-3000 on your robot.

Can be used for the camera alone, or add a high power LED on a heatsink. (Details still TBD, but see the notes section.)

Also on Github: https://github.com/Techbrick/Electronics-CAD

Use short screws when mounting - there is no clearance between the Lifecam and the printed wall.

Also, these files will require a fairly well calibrated printer. There are no tolerances built in on the meshing surfaces.

Heatsink & Wiring

Heatsink:

The current plan is to try a 1" long section of Heatsink USA's 1.813" heatsink for the LED star.

Drill and Tap four #8-32 screw holes, centered on the corners of a 23/16" x 1/2" rectangle, on the face of the heatsink. Secure the LED star to the heatsink with thermal tape.

Mount standard 20mm optics over the LEDs.

Wiring:

Currently planning to use Meanwell Constant Current regulators. Power in will be connected to the PDP, and the enable signal will be tied into a Rio DIO, so that we can control the LEDs being on or off.

(Note: For any high power LED, please make sure you can turn it off if you are not using it. Your teammates, opponents, field staff, and spectators will all appreciate it.)
