Re: cmucam2 MPLAB on VEX controller ??
Thank-you for the reply Mark,

I finally ended up using the WPILIB just to set up the camera and then read the data as ASCII directly from the serial port. That works fine. Although to make it easier on myself I set the camera to polling mode and used a mask to limit the Tpacket to only four of its eight data points.

Just curious now, but do you happen to recall which version of MPLAB you were using? I'm using MPLAB 8.10. And I found something in Kevin's code that specifies using an earlier version. That is something that I have not tried.

I can say this much, with the Ver 7 VEX code and MPLAB 8.1 both Keven's code and the WPILIB do not recieve data. And I have several controllers so its not specific to one piece of hardware.

Sure would be nice to know what is causing this. But in the meantime, I have a squarebot that now faithfully follows a green plastic bag with a flashlight behind it.

Thanks,
