There are so many bugs in it.
So please check the camera protocols with my library sources.

Hi,
Thanks so much for this! I recently bought that camera from SparkFun and I am trying to get it to work with your sample program. So far I have only been able to get it to work one time...usually I just have a 0k TEST.jpg inside my mbed....I don't know what I am doing wrong. With the new library you wrote in December I can't get the program to compile either.
Is this very reliable? Does it work for you all the time? I am brand new to embed...I have the camera hooked up how you show...just the TV pin is not going anywhere...should I ground that pin or something?
Thanks so much for anyhelp and thanks again for writing this library!!

Thank you for your feedback.
I hope to you enjoy the camera with my library.

Thanks so much!! :-) That one worked great. The camera took picture after picture and put the writing % in the serial window...no problem. I commented out the SDCard stuff, though. I still haven't been able to get my SDCard to work. I'm going to work on that right now. Here is a sample pic: http://www.flickr.com/photos/42101072@N05/5433253911/
thanks for all your work!!!
