Ok! With the projects I had to do prior to this done, I can start to focus on this now.
I was going to post the parts list, but KaR]V[aN has listed them already. I had another receiver and a wide angle lens, but those are trivial and not really needed.
So far I think my method will be to rig up the receiver somehow (I don't have a way to power it at the moment, unless I could use a cable from an 5v or 3.3v Arduino to give the voltage.), and go from there.
Also planning to use temporary cables while testing voltages. I don't have a DC-DC, I should probably be certain if that's needed, and then order it very soon.
So looking at the Wiki about the power,

The connections should be as so:
Reference from the Wiki above for holes on the Crazyflie:
Camera
Mine Appears to be pre wired here, where a cable is soldered already onto this. Still, you need to know what to do with those cables right?

"yellow" goes to "yellow" on the transmitter.
"blue" Ground should go to a ground pin on the Transmitter
"red" +3.3v Power should
go to the Transmitter's "red"
Transmitter:
Using as reference this image:

"Yellow"Has already been covered - it gets the cable from Camera.
"blue" ground should have the Camera Ground Cable in it, as well as a cable going to the actual ground on the Crazyflie, 17 (Digital ground) is looking good.
"red" Power should have a connection from the Camera, as well as a cable going to the Crazyflie for getting power from. Pin 15 Is VCC, or Digital power supply. One way to locate which one is 15 is by looking for 19 (will be labelled on one extreme of the holes), then go back two holes to locate 15. The reference above is a pictorial way of seeing as wel.
Just realized I'm really tired, so I'll check in tomorrow. Like I said, I'll want to try this setup out with temporary cables before soldering. Anyone have ideas for how to mount the camera on when its done? I want to use it for Aerial video usually, so angled slightly down I'll prefer.
I've based the cabling layout between the TX and the Camera based on the image
here, which is showing how a different transmitter should be connected.
The english version of above:
I am using the camera's connections to go into the Transmitter, and then the cables where needed go from the Transmitter into the Crazyflie.
Am I on the right path for the cabling connections?
) and joined forums today, so I still have a lot to learn.
