Ours is working fine, but we cannot connect when it is also connected to the robot, so make sure something like this is not happening. Also, as mentioned before, check all power cables and make sure your baud rate is set right. If you have one, try testing the camera through a usb-serial adapter. While I have had problems with these when programming the robot before, we used another team members laptop equipped with an adapter today for the GUI, and it worked fine (although it was not COM1, rather COM4 but this probably varies). If this way of communication works, you will know that your standard serial connection is malfunctioning or not set properly.
