Any idea on whats wrong?

Thanks,

EDIT: I would try the serial port diagnostics program, but our school doesn't give us wireless access, so I can't get it on my programming laptop
The solution it to just use the default values included in the code. You should literally be able to load the copy of camera.hex from the zip file and have it work out of the box.
