Do me a favor and download the old code (without changing the backup battery) and let me know if it still happens. If it does, then it's the backup battery (the battery goes dead in no time when working with the servos). If not, then I'll ask Joe to look into this problem a bit more.

When you say "the old code" what do you mean? I'm still using the first release of the LabView CMUCam2 App.2006.01.13. I just found the new one today and haven't tried it yet.

That would seem to suggest that the problem is not related to the update. There wasn't anything changed from the 13th to the 17th that had anything to do with communication.

That doesn't mean it's impossible that there is a bug in it, just that nothing with communication changed. The changes dealt with how to display the data.

Try a freshly charged 7.2V back-up battery.
