A desperate newbie can't get the camera to work

Hope it is not this 30cm long ribbon cable!!! this is what caused our cameras to melt. From what I learned from @JohemianKnapsody the blue tape was on the wrong side of some cables causing the overheating of the camera. Luckily this item is not longer available.

that seems to be the right objective. you may be able to bring it down a bit using the Z actuator.

It is very important to get a type B cable. This is something I hadn’t seen before the Brazil camera melting issues! We will make sure this is much much clearer in the instructions going forward!

My first simple stitched image! I used Hugin as an easy start. I am still learning a lot, but this result is very encouraging. I have tons of questions but I think I will make a new post in the First Build for them. Thank you so much everyone for your incredible support, what a community!
