Getting the Camera and Default Code to Work
I know my team spent alot of time on this and basicly it was electrical that screwed us up but just incase your having a problem ill clarify things here. First of all the servos have to be connected directly to the pwm ports on the controller, NOT THE CAMERA!!! Connecting your servos to the camera will let you move them with software that interacts with your computer(like cmucam2gui_fe.jar) but not any code thats actually on the controller. The camera power must come from the digital in/out port on the controller, I have no idea why it says in the manual to use a pwm port from the controller but the camera will get no power from a pwm port and will thus not work. This is were our electrical team really screwed up, remember to first have the TTL-232 Converter plugged in and you do need both batteries on the controller plugged in for it to work. Electrical on our team said we didn't need the backup battery and the servos would not work, once it was in everything worked fine.
I hope this helps you from team 1676.
