Camera not functioning

[Lord_Jeremy]

Right so 1546 has been having a few issues with our camera. We're using Java and I've written a substantial amount of code, including camera routines. Just to test out the hookup and see our advisor's face on the screen, I created the example CircleTrackerDemo project and loaded it on the robot. Alas, the code loaded up and we got green lights across the board but the classmate still showed "Timeout in Camera Communications". I tried rebooting the bot and the classmate, tickng the video button, checking the camera power and crossover cable. Then I made some modifications to the demo code to print to the dashboard if it found a target or not. I didn't get any output at all (yes I called update) which seems to indicate that cam.freshImage() was never true. I even added another print to make sure the display worked. Read elsewhere that we might try reinstalling the DS software but it seems to me that this is a camera coms issue. Not sure what to do next. Thanks!
