Re: [Support] [Fwd: [Pioneer-users] How to install the Bumplebee stereo camera onto the Pioneer?]

Dear Zeb,

Many thanks. As I know from the bumblebee manual, the
GPIO port has the external voltage pin and GND pins
which could be connected to an extra power supply.
Also I have checked Appendix B of the Pioneer 3
manual, some power connectors can provide 12V voltage.
Can I use them to connect to the GPIO? If possible,
which connector is proper?

Thank you very much.

Regards,
Zhang XZ
