after a lot of trial and error with trying to interface with uno (and arduino 2.0), i finally did a direct serial connection to a PC and used their software and followed linksprite’s testing instructions. however, the camera does not seem to be communicating back… when i start up the X-CTU software as in Step 6.2 in their manual, it receives some HEX code, but the return text is garbled… With Step 6.4 – i send HEX commands OK (i see appropriate blue text), but, i get no response (i see no red text). Needless to say, while the COM port detection is fine with both pieces of software, i cannot see any snapshots in the LS-Y201 softweare either, so there is no evidence of the PC receiving data.
Any ideas on what I am missing? Could it be I fried the camera somewhere along the way?
