Re: Why do we use a TTL -> RS232 converter for the CMUcam?
Okay. That's good to know--we were having problems with the TTL converter staying in and making good contact, and I just wanted to know if I could use it without the converter.

You say a jumper was omitted, but I am looking at the CMUcam manual and I don't see anything about a jumper to change to TTL levels. I just assumed that the TTL levels would come out of the TTL port and RS232 levels would come out of the other port. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
JBot
