Re: CMUcam setup
You cannot have the camera plugged into the robot controller via the TTL port at the same time as it is hooked to the computer via the RS-232 DB9 port. Unhook the robot controller connection and hook it up directly to the computer and see if this solves the problem.

If the GUI can still not access the camera connect to it with the listed settings in the manual:
• 115,200 Baud
• 8 Data bits
• 1 Stop bit
• No Parity
• No Flow Control (Not Xon/Xoff or Hardware)
through hyperterminal and type GV followed by enter. This should return a CMUcam2 version string. If this happens, you are connected and the GUI is the problem.
