Couple of new videos. This time I am running the FRDM-TFC library demo code written by Eli Hughes without any change at all-- successfully on my car. I have had the 0 ohm R24 res replaced with a higher one thanks to the soldering skills of David DiCarlo! The first video highlights demo modes 0 through 3: Car demos - YouTube Demo 0- test buttons and switches Demo 1- test servo Demo 2- test motors Second, I was able to get my little o-scope (xprotolab) to capture the camera analog out-- here: Camera testing - YouTube No major coding done but I understand the library and ports on the boards much better now.   Still haven't resolved the 'whining' apparent when I enable the H-bridge but I will try a few things this week-- it is possible it is harmless. Next steps, buffering camera data then on to control loops! Daniel Oh, I was also able to get the serial port working while code was running so I could get some dynamic feedback.
