I have found that when using the GUI to get the calibration values I have to cycle power on the CMUcam2 a lot. Pressing the reset button does not do it.

I am also getting the red error light on the OI when loading the test program(s) in FRC_CMUcam2_rev-3. By the way why are there two projects? Which one should we focus on? What does the DDT version do? Why do they causes errors? FIRST you can do better.

The camera has potential to give the robot direction. But it is worth the cost? This is turning out to be a bad joke.
