Re: CMUCam not working

[quote=ace123]Two things may help, as I have had this problem myself:

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.

This is because of a poor voltage regulator from 7.2 v to 5.0 volts which is the only volt line the camera really needs.


Also, be careful about downloading too much code, we had this problem and suddenly the camera could not be found, after downloading the default code, the proper registers were reset and we could start programming again
