Yeah, Hopefully they got it working today, I remember last year we had the same issue with the camera and the battery not being charged. I know that some stuff can be picky with a usb/serial interface, but im hoping the rc isnet one of them.

Thats the one problem with being a college student metor, i cant be up there every day to test this stuff, especially with gas prices the way they are, its about a 45 min drive for me to get to the school i mentor for
chances are they will have fixed this issue by the time im back up there
