I've downloaded the diagnostic program, and run it. It doesn't show "Serial Port Diagnostics Running..." until after I restart the RC, and when I type something "To Port ->" I get no feedback.

The camera has a green light from what seems to be labeled DS1, DS2 is off, but DS3 is red.

This all seems to say to me, "your TTL port isn't working!!" but I know beyond a doubt I have hooked it up properly. So sould I assume that's a defective part or is there someone out there with more insight into the issue than I have? (I hope, I hope, I hope... )

Now that you know your serial communication with the camera is not happening, follow the instructions in Q14 of the CMUcam2 FAQ: http://kevin.org/frc/camera and report back here with the results.
