Re: Camera won't initialize when reset from RC - reset from OI and Power-up works,
From Kevin's website:

Q15: We're sure we've got the camera hooked-up correctly, but it doesn't do anything. What do we do?
A15: Enable debugging messages in the camera code by following the embedded instructions in camera.h and run the camera code. If you don't get any debugging information sent to your terminal screen when the code executes, there is a problem with your robot controller or the USB to RS232 converter you may have used to load the code into the robot controller. Call the InnovationFIRST support line at (903) 453-0802. If you get a message that says "Camera: Initialized abnormally with code 131", this means that the serial communications link to the camera isn't working properly. In this case, download the serial port diagnostics software from http://kevin.org/frc and follow the included instructions.
Also, what happens when you just power cycle the camera?

Good luck,
Robinson
