Our two problems...

[Mark McLeod]

Serial port 2 is the one labeled "TTL" (not the tether) and depending on which camera port you connect to it usually requires the tiny TTL-converter chip that came packaged with, but separate from, the camera board.

You'll want to keep your PC connected to the Program port while you test the camera, so you can see the status messages displayed to tell you what's wrong (or right) with the camera.

Did you look at the T-packet description?

Yea, CMUCam issues should be posted in the CMUCam sub-forum, but we'll forgive you.

Okay ^_^ that could have prevented a lot of confusion before I fixed it... I had thought the serial mentioned in the code refered to the serial cable port on the camera, so I left it plugged in... until I re-read the FAQ on Kevin's website and took it off...

I'll get right on that now that the camera works I've got time...

Yeah, my first post on this forum...

Anyways, my primary problem, aside from leaving the serial cable plugged in was that I never included terminal.c and terminal.h. I re-read the insrtuctions and found no reference to either.

Thanks for your help everyone. ^_^
