Re: CMUCam not working
Two things may help, as I have had this problem myself:
Make sure that the TTL is unplugged from the RC while the Serial port is plugged in to the computer COM (for Java and HyperTerminal testing), and vice versa for RC code. This one has gotten me a few times.
Also, try plugging it in to the Digital I/O instead of the PWM for power. All the documentation says to use the 7.2v PWM, but I and a lot of other teams have had much more sucess with the 5v DigIO.
To troubleshoot if these things don't work, run the default code from 1/12 on the RC (with the latest Master Code). Make sure to plug in the TTL during this process. check if it says "Camera not Found". If it does not print that then you are fine, but if it does and the camera LED is on, then you have some problems. Check the wiring of all devices.

Check out the space simulator called Vega Strike, modelled after the space simulator games Elite and Wing Commander. It's Open Source too!
If you have ever played Wing Commander, or especially Privateer, and had a feeling of nostalga derived from the you will enjoy these two Vega Strike mods: Privateer Gemini Gold and Privateer Remake!
I'm working on adding multiplayer support this year...
