yeah, the resistors may be the problem. this is because the cmu cam
has a max232 on it which is made to convert the serial signal from a
computer to an appropriate level for the cmucam. Try removing that
chip (on my cmucam it was named something different, but I think the
number 232 was still there) from the cmucam and see if the homework
board works then. Good luck.
