Re: CMU Camera kills robot controller if not found.

How will this help us if the camera is missing, broken? Then on power up, it locks up the code, because the robot controller can't find it?

Maybe I didn't explain the problem good enough above. The camera works great when it's connected and the robot controller finds the camera on power up.

But if the camera code is still in the controller and you disconnect the camera from the controller, it acts like it searchs for the camera, never finds it, excutes one cycle enough to do one printF statement, then locks up.

If the robot controller finds the camera on power up, then the camera dies while the controller is powered up, it's not a problem. The robot controller doesn't care, it just doesn't get any packet information.
