How to Connect Devices via Accessory Bay?

[ferlicke]

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out the process for connecting a Micasense Rededge camera to the Solo accessory bay so I can remotely trigger image captures as well as pull images for analysis. From what I've read on the Rededge http API and their integration guide, I need to use the camera's H4 8 pin serial/ethernet port and connect that to the Solo's accessory bay.

I've never done something like this before and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction so I don't brick my drone and camera. Is a breakout board required? Can I just solder to the mating connector they recommend from mouser.com? Do I need to solder anything to Solo's main board?

Thanks for your time!

That's it. Do you know anyone who has them in stock or knows how to connect devices on them?
