Question Programming The CMUcam for the Vex controller

Hi,

I am trying to make the camera code on a vex controller. I've integrated Kevins code into the default Vex code from IFI and it doesn't seem to have any errors with it (just for the heck of it I tried to run Kevin's code for FRC, unfortunately it didn't work). I have connected the camera's serial port using a male to male serial connection to the programming cable for the Vex controller. One problem with this is that I can't debug the code using the output from the IFI Loader. I'm pretty sure that the camera's serial port is right in the code. The only problem is, IT DOESN'T WORK The Vex controller doesn't seem to be getting any data from the camera, and I have no clue why. All I did to make the code work for the Vex was use the Vex default code and add the files from Kevin's 2006 CMUcam2 code one file at a time. I'm pretty sure I've included all the necessary functions as well throughout the code. Does anybody have any ideas as to why this isn't working? Is there a problem with the way I'm using the FRC code for the Vex. Also, I'm using the camera that came in the 2005 KOP, does this matter?

Thanks
