Re: CMUCam2 Camera Code - Are important parts commented out?

Steve,

Your reading of the rules is impeccable. However, I believe that this is an oversight in the rules. Good catch!

I am sure that FIRST intends for the camera PCB to control the servo.

I suggest that you ask Engineer Dave (or whoever has posting authority on the FIRST Q&A) to post your observation for clarification.

Mike

Roger,

It makes sense that FIRST/IFI would comment out code so that it is safe for people to simply "run" on a robot without fully understanding function.

I would suggest that you implement a piece at a time with appropriate debug printf statements to understand what each part does. Note that some code may require modification by you to be compatible with your system.

As an example, I would insure that the camera is giving good information to your controller before I attempted to let it guide the drive system of your robot.

Mike
