MemberAhh, interesting, thank you for the help.
Unfortunately, there isn’t much documentation on pollserial on the TVOut Google Code site. I used the example to receive pollserial data, but I’m not sure how to send it. I tried sending it through Serial as usual, but it seems to crash the VE Shield. You’ve been a huge help so far and I’m sorry to keep asking questions, but you don’t have any clues to as why this might happen, do you?

MemberUpon further inspection, it seems the wire.h library provided by arduino causes the hackvision to cease video output… hmm… I wonder why, as I thought the library only concerned i2c communication (nunchuck).

MemberGreat, thank you – I’m now compiling without errors.
If it would be helpful to anyone else to know, I also had to change a line in nunchuck.cpp to replace ‘wiring.h’
—
#if ARDUINO < 100
#include “wiring.h”
#else
#include “wiring_private.h”
#endif

MemberThanks for the quick reply,
Just to clarify, do I paste that code inside Controllers.h? Or each of the .h files specifically? (e.g. nunchuck.h, etc..) or do I edit the .cpp files?
I tried pasting in each .h file but still get an error about requiring wiring.h – any thoughts would be helpful, thanks so much again –

MemberHi Michael,
Thanks for your continued help, it’s really appreciated!
I was actually able to upload to the board eventually using some trial and error and your tips.
I was wondering if your new Arduino 1.0 libraries were out yet? I’d be happy to use Arduino 0022 except I’m pairing the Hackvision with a Heart Rate Monitor that requires 1.0.
Thanks again!

MemberUpdate:
I was able to re-upload the hackvision firmware. The problem was I did not have the right board selected, (‘Duemalinova or Nano’… etc.) – from this, I also deduce that we are supposed to be using Arduino 0022 as this option does not exist in Arduino 1.0.
I’m still having trouble with the breakout example and the TVOut library, so help is still appreciated. I’m wanting to write a game for Hackvision from scratch and am wondering the best template to start from.
