Re: camera power supply

help,
ok, I'm all ready to hook up the camera to the laptop to test the firmware, but there is a chip next to the serial port on the cam that will get bent if the cable is attatched to the serial port. has anyone had this problem? what can I do to fix this. it seems likely that the chip could have been placed in the wrong place possibly, or we could find a serial cable with a smaller end. what should I do? also, if I hook up the cam to the controller, will I have to write code to turn the current on for the pwm? also, where do I get the driver for the serial cable for the cmu_cam? thanks in advance,
Stephen
