We have a problem during the installation of this camera on the robot. The leds seem to malfunction
before we try to calibrate the camera. when we put the demo cd of the camera we run the program appmode demo
in the folder basic stamp 2 and appear an error ''communication error , basic stamp 2 not found''.
The leds also sometimes lit all of them or othertimes doesnt lit at all.
What seem to be the problem?
Is there some suggestion about how we can solve this?
thanks

    It sounds like it could be related to the batteries.· Can you measure Vin to Vss with a voltmeter?

    We solve the problem,it was the batteries that we had to change them with new ones.
    But running the basic stamp demo now, according to the manual we cant set the 8 function for calibration.
    We follow the instructions from the begining, the leds flash all and the beep sounds but when
    we try to work with the fisrt function-press the select button and light the first red led(everything is ok until this time)
    but then by pressing the go/stop button instead of flashing and calibrating it moves to the next led.
    Can you help us with this problem?
    Thanks
