mjpg-streamer stops working when using libroboticscontrol example #121

mjpg-streamer stops working when using the rc_test_motors.c example from libroboticscontrol. Camera is active on boot and works when I enter " rc_test_motors -d 0.5 " but stops when motors are reversed with " rc_test_motors -d -0.5 ".

@ninjatrent this is probally a power surge on the usb bus..

You should post it here:

https://github.com/beagleboard/librobotcontrol/issues

But software-wise i don't see how we can fix this..

It does appear to be an issue with power on the USB bus. The video stream freezes and the cam shuts off when anything over 0.3 duty is issued. Tried a lower duty and camera remains on. It's strange that this didn't occur in previous use. I've been using with the BBB W and Robotics Cape. Thank you for the quick response.
