Go to Post I bet a lot of us (mentors and students) got into this line of work first because we wondered how things work, and stayed in it because we thought "I can make that work better". Thus starts a life-long battle between perfection and time. So far, time is ahead. - petek [more]

Re: Camera not powered...?

The Servos reset to their default position ok, but the Camera itself seems to have no power. I'm sure that the PWM cable is in the right spot for 7.2v power, and it's plugged into an unused PWM spot, but it's still not getting power, and thus I can't connect to it with labview, and the Robot Controller is like "wtf?" and does nothing.

Any ideas?
If you downloaded the code yesterday, there was a window when the available code was messed-up. download the code and drop in the corrected serial_ports.c and you should be good to go. I swear, sometimes it seems like FIRST has got a room full of monkeys writing code. Maybe the monkeys should spend less time flinging fecal matter at each other and more time testing the code before posting it <grin>.
