Re: [DFTF] Camera as Remote Eyes...

15 FPS is good @ 320*240 on the wee DS, really no lag whatsoever. Kinect is a diff story/problem/solution that doesn't belong here.

Just verify which camera you are using, the old 206 needs some monkeying w/ Dashboard AND Robot code that is automatically configured for the newer 1011.

As for mounting, make sure it is on something that is strong but gives just a little. IE 2405 (that's us!) good piece of thick plexi (not thin lexan) running across front of our boxy frame, with a tapped hole in the middle for the screw on the back of the camera. Screw it on, connect wires, check lens focus on it. If neccessary, tape down the spinny thing if the vibrations from the shoooter are so violent that the drivers are "flying blind" after Auto.
