1) That chip does not go on the camera board, read the manual carefully. It goes on your actual robot controller into the TTL port(Hopefully I am on the right track)
2) Go to IFIROBOTICS.COM and download the latest code for the camera. To test the camera you don't need to write code because it is provided in the default. However, you can modify it to fit your needs for the competition.
