How many teams actually got their camera calibrated already?
It would have been really nice if there was some technical support for this camera. I also find it funny that in Update #5 FIRST says to contact innovation first for CMUcam2 assistance. However, on the innovation first website, it says that they do not offer any camera support. LOL (wait, why am I laughing?  ) |
i'm also having trouble with my camera... sorry i'm just adding problem upon problem instead of trying to help other teams with their problems but here's my share:
my camera read s the color jut fine and everything and i've gotten as far as the camera giving me values from the target. however, it gave me the same value for green as it did for yellow. being smarter than that... i know something's wrong. also i don't know specifically which numbers i should be looking at because there are some for red yellow and green or blue whatever. but the thing is that i don't know if for one target i should be getting three diff values adn put all those in (say green, then i would get a large number for blue and yellow and a smaller number for red... seeing as green IS a mixture of the primary colors, etc. etc.) even though this may seem like a smart set of numbers to use for the programming, the program isn't giving me any of the values for any of the other colors, just the value of the color of the target. so my question to you guys is what set of numbers should i use and what would be causing the program to give me the same value for two different colors?
sorry to butt in to someone's else's thread, but i didn't want to start a completely new thread with a problem that's very closely related to this one.
thanks, isabel
ps: it doesn't say on my profile but my screen name for aim is binxybel so if there's any way that you can reach me through there, since i feel it's the most direct way of communication, that would be great! thanks!
