I just got this cmucam alittle while ago, and i think it's difficult to understand. Now that i wan't to download the cmu demo i can't, because whenever i plug the cam into my BoE, all the led's light up and it says stamp not found! I've tryed running the program then pluging it in, but nothing works!

    Make sure you are using a straight through serial cable, NOT a null modem cable, to connect to your PC.
    Does your PC see the stamp if·the BoE·is not connected to the cam?

    The cable is the right one. As soon as I unplug the cam, It sees the bs2 perfectly fine... I would be fine if I could only download that demo. Once I get that done, my next problem is how to reset the factory calibration used for the demo... I was trying to do that dump frame thing, but I'm not nearly that good... I've read the manual about a hundred times, but I guess because I can barely program my bot to light up LEDs and drive around, maybe this cam is really way out of my league! Well whether it is or not, I payed over $100 bucks for it, I'm sure as heck going to learn how to use it one time or another... Thanks.

    Sounds like a power problem, or a grounding problem, or both.
