Re: CMU Camera kills robot controller if not found.
Huh. Yesterday, we started with the camera, got it working well, and soon after, got our base driving. We put the electronics on the base, and didnot put the camera on, just incase it self-destructed or something. So, about 10 minutes after the power down and camera removal, it drove fine. No problems at all. So, in conclusion, we had none of the problems you described. However, we also had un-commented the default_routine function (yes, I know i've got to fix this before we try the camera again), and we left the backup battery in. I wonder what could be wrong? Maybe its actually the backup battery?
