Camera No Data

[Lakeeffect1674]

We have the camera set up just like last year (and it was working) our connections are believed to be tight but we still get the error " no camera data" what can we do to fix it?

Well, our programmers are having the same problems with our camera. There are some definite issues with the default camera software. We are still having mentors weed throught the software to see what the problem is.

Keep at it, it seems hard, but it's not impossible

We had a problem with making sure the connections were all matched, the black conductor with the B letter. We also didn't have the TTL chip flush in the correct orientation, and it caused the same problem.

We made sure we had the connections right, several times. We are thinking now that we should just disable the camera so we can atleast test the robot.

there are several ways I was thinking we could do it.
1. add code to feed the controller data and claim it is camera data
2. clear everything about the cam in the code (really hard to do)
3. maybe we could even comment out a part in the cam code to disable it


Any of these ways I am not sure on how to do it. which way do any of you think would be best and how would we go about doing it.

you should check which serial port is enabled for camera communication, it might not be the same one you are plugging in to. I believe the default port is the TTL or serial_port_2. Also, kevin's code comments out the default routine, which you might want to enable to drive around. Make sure that you are getting both green and red light on top of the camera. Makes sure the camera switch is turned on. keep working at it!
