Re: Cam works but RC won't
Pwm outputs 13-16 are special. They're generated by the user processor and can be updated more often than the 26.2 ms communication burst. But you need to call the Generate_PWMs() function in order for them to work. The line with that function call is present in Kevin's camera code, but it has been commented out.

They also have a reputation of being prone to "twitchiness" if you have lots of interrupts going, or if you call the Generate_PWMs() function repeatedly with too short a delay.
