Re: Robot Reset & Camera Initalization

We found that the camera would "freeze" when we reset the robot (or even just sometimes for no reason). The best fix we could find was to HOLD the robot reset button on the RC for about 5 seconds. For some reason (probably the camera's memory persisting otherwise), the camera re-initializes correctly after you release reset.

Last year, we found the same problem where the camera would sometimes "freeze" up. Our solution then was to re-initialize the camera entirely if we weren't getting frames back, but that would be an ugly solution.
