Re: CMUCam2 Vision Sensor Testing/Problems
 

Hey I have some questions regarding the camera:

do we HAVE to use the same paints (colors) as given in the Getting started Manual or is it just to give us an idea? is the camera code configured to find only those colors? has any other team had success without using the exact same colors?

I come from a small funded rookie team :confused: so we want the simplest possible solution, thanks.

We found that the colors prescribed by FIRST work very nicely for some basic tracking, so it's probably easiest to go out and buy a can of that bright green spray paint.

It is not required to use the same paint for your practice hardware. BUT it is a really good idea to do so. The cameras seem to be quite sensitive to color variations caused not only by variation in the paint but by the lighting as well. In such matters it is best to be as close as possible to the real thing
