Our camera does not move at all. Whether we have the light in front of it or not. We've also made sure the backup battery is charged.


The only thing that I still do no understand is the T_Packets. Also, when I define which serial port the camera goes into... Serial Port 1 is the programming and Serial Port 2 is the tether correct?

And I just noticed the CMU cam sub-thread... should I have put this there instead?
