Comments or suggestions?

So it works... congratulations, Claude!

Thanks ! (Also, for your precious e-mail advice.) I added another small program
to send a GV (get version) to the CMUCam2. The result is first an acknowledge
"ACK\r"then a message "CMUcam2 v1.01 c6\r:". However, every second package
doesn't read the first two characters correctly. So, we get the ASCII series
after the ACK\r :

3 255 85 99 97 ... instead of
67 77 85 99 97 ...

Probably the CMUCam2 introduces a pause after the ACK\r.

Suggestions?

After half an hour of work with the module, the RCX starts getting hot in the
area of the C- output connector. The 200mA are perhaps too a heavy load.
