[Elphel-support] No images from sensor

Oleg,
I didn't update the firmware of the camera, just parsedit. The immediate
key works, a much nicer system than I had before.
I will reflash the new firmware onto one of my cameras when I get a chance
just to try things out. The problem is I have a couple clients who already
have cameras and I just want to update their parsedit files since that is
much easier than the entire firmware.
I did some digging into some issues I was having with the jpeg compression
and line-scan mode . I will update the thread I previously started on that
topic.
Thanks,
Linden
