Re: Has Anybody played with the Camera?

Been playing with the camera for 3 days now...

So far we've found the search function to pickup the green light relatively quickly. As for tracking, the camera has an impressive rate so far. I somehow believe that the search/track functions can be bogged down by other code when more complex functions are added. However, the prospect of directing shots entirely by camera seems very promising so far.

As for the menus, kudos to Kevin. Quite beautifully done. So far, I've utlilized them to toy with different settings (without having to reset the entire program). However, the default settings seem to work just fine. My only concern is that the menus completely halts the current code, which could be problematic depending on other functions that should be executed. In the end though, I hope to find absolute settings (that can be loaded through the header file).

One question for everyone though...since the camera is interrupt driven, how does it affect other interrupting encoders? Does anyone know how many interrupting devices the new PIC can handle?

Thanks all
