Re: Ring light not bright enough in camera feed
There is a Camera Performance Example that can be used to set and hold the white balance.
Just add a "Set WB" .vi after the while loop and before the CLOSE.vi, and configure it to "Hold current". Make sure you hold a plain white object (piece of paper works well) in front of the camera for ~15 seconds while running the vi. Make sure the object fills the video frame and reflects the light from the environment into the camera. Then make sure you exit by pressing the "Stop" button on the front panel. This will "Hold" the current white balance in the Flash Ram in the camera.
Then just set the White Balance in the Begin.vi to "Hold current". This will cause the camera to use the calibrated white balance value from then on, or until you change it at the next competition you attend.
