frc_camera_s, using compiled .hex that was in the download
CMUcam2 connected via TTL port to RC
2006 RC tethered to 2006 OI
tilt/pan servos connected to RC pwm1,2
RC pwm to CMUcam2 power
jumpers on pan reverse, oscillator connect, internal power to servos
DB-9 serial from RC program port to laptop via USB to Serial converter
12 volt and 7.2 volt batteries fully charged

The camera shows a green light, and all of RC lights are green like normal. The camera holds its default position, and does not respond to any light. Nothing comes up over the terminal, although I expected to see "Scanning...". With the camera configured stand-alone (DB-9 to USB to laptop, servos plugged directly in to camera, power still supplied by RC) I was able to use LabView and the CMUcam2 demo program to calibrate the camera well. It tracked as I believe it was supposed to without any problems.

Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

Unfortunately we seem to be having the same problem...we don't get any errors after compiling the program, and the results shown on MPLAB clearly state "BUILD SUCCEEDED" ... no problems loading the .hex file from IFI loader to the controller, however, the COM Terminal window is BLANK! Nothing happens or shows up on the window... any theories of what may be going on?
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated...
