Re: CMUCam2 Camera Code - Are important parts commented out?

I am not exactly sure, but do not forget this:
You CAN NOT use the camera servo outputs to power the angling servos for the camera. If you wish to have the camera move on its own, those outputs must go through the FRC Controller, and the FRC Controller must control the servos.

See Section 5: The Robot (http://www2.usfirst.org/2005comp/Sec...-The_Robot.pdf)

Quote:
<R53> Custom Circuits may not:
• Interfere with the operation of other robots
• Directly affect any output devices on the robot, such as by providing power directly to a motor, supplying a PWM signal to a speed controller or supplying a control signal to a relay module. (Custom high impedance voltage monitoring or low impedance current monitoring circuitry connected to the robot’s electrical system is acceptable, because the effect on the robot outputs should be inconsequential.)
• Be used for wireless communication, such as sending or receiving a signal to and/or from the alliance station
• Connect to the radio or tether ports on the Robot Controller
Just to help you avoid headaches in the future.
