Re: at Peachtree Regional, cRIO overloading, Help

We had the same problem at the Smokey Mountain Regions that we finally figured out today (we are also at the Peachtree Regionals). The issue is the flood lights on the main field (and possibly the ceiling lights). The camera tries to auto calibrate based on the field lighting, which caused the processing on our images to find so many targets that the cRio was not able to keep up with other processing. The solution was to point the camera at the goals (we are using the green LED light array) and then fix the white balance and exposure. We also discovered that you can setup the driver station dashboard to take images during the match, which can be used to optimize the image processing. If you have any questions, please drop by team 3824 and we can show you the setup on the camera. Ask for Aaron.
