Re: TTL -> RS-232 Board won't stay on!
Our problem is that the camera loses communication every now and then for no apparent reason (yes, everything is still connected). We usually have to disconnect and wiggle things a bit and then it communicates again. I'm a little worried that the board and it's connectors are not going to be robust enough to hold up once the robot is in the competition environment. Just like in the other PWM thread, I have serious doubts about the robustness of the PWM cable connectors this year.
