Re: CMUCam over programming port problems..

This is normally indicative of no camera signal.

I connected the programming port to my laptop, and ran a terminal program. I repeatedly received the CR?>, which I assume to mean camera ready? message. I am not receiving anything else, such as printf debug messages; so that can not be the cause of failure. I have tested the camera over the serial port with the java application, it also works fine.

I'm out of places to look, I reset the robot controller multiple times, and the voltage on the backup battery was 8.2 volts. I went through the FAQ already.
If you want, zip-up your code and send it to me and I'll have a quick look this evening.
