Camera fails to output anything on serial lines
I've wired up the camera - I'm using the 2002 mini RC for power, and I then hooked up the camera and serial lines. Upon powering up, all three status LEDs turn on and the servo twitches. Very quickly, the green status LED (the one to the left) turns off, leaving the green power LED and the red status LED on. Nothing appears on my terminal. I tried typing 'gv' as was suggested by the directions to no avail. The GUI fails on any command, often crashing in the process. I'm providing about 7V of power, more than the minimum 6. I have no clue where to go from here - how else can I go about debugging the camera? Thanks,
Steven
