Re: Axis 206 Noob

Is it recommended to have a stationary Axis camera? (advantage and disadvantage)
How does the Axis camera servos work, where is the plugin and how does the tracker move them?

I don't fully understand the camera code, but I found a thread that helped me understand the full concept of the camera. But after that, I don't know what to implement or how to implement code on java to track a target or manipulate for what I need.

I got the camera to connect, but I don't know how to detect if it is tracking. I used the cameratest and trackerdemo in java and I saw in one of the programs showed the time per 100 images for a few times and then refused to see anything and gave no images at every activation while the code was running and the cRIO was on. It resets after a recompiling or power cycle.

How can I attach a ring of LEDs around the camera and how do I power it. I have electronics experience, but I do not know how to implement it on the FIRST electronics and how many LEDs are required?

Thank you in advanced for your help!
