Re: CMUcam setup

All symptoms of an incorrect Serial Port setup or you have the two serial lines hooked up at once. You can only have either the serial line to your PC or the TTL port on the RC hooked up, not both at the same time.

We had trouble using HyperTerminal to set the serial port and making it stick, so we did it using the Device Manager.

Check the serial port settings from the Device Manager.
I get there under W2K by
right clicking Properties for My Computer or under Control Panels click System,
then Hardware tab,
then Device Manager
select Ports (COM ...
double-click Communications Port
then Port Settings
and you know the rest.
