Re: Where in the world is the new 2007 cmu camera docs?!?!?

2007 Camera function 100% the same as the 2005/2006 camera. I headers for the servos have just been removed. The camera should work the same in JavaApp and Labview. The only change is anything that mentions the servos no longer does anything.

This fixes two issues.

1.) You don't have to stop the camera to change servo posistions.
2.) You can't run victors off you camera anymore which was kind of a saftey
hazard as the camera doesn't know about being disabled. I'm pretty sure
this is why they were removed.

To make it work just run a PWM cable from the Analog or Digital port of the RC to the connector next to the switch. This will run your camera off the 12v supply instead of the backup battery. On the CMU board it has a "B" that is where the black wire goes. Then just run a serial cable from your computer into the CMUCAM.
