Re: Wiring for CMU and Easy C

As Brad said...you need to get the camera tracking correctly in Lab View, or download last years JavaSoftware here:

Ideally, though you should use Lab view because of the SAVE AS EASYC CONFIG button in lab view. Makes it really fast and nice to tweak your camera, then port it over to EasyC.

Now some tips. If your tracking in lab view doesn't seem to track correctly. Try and study the tracking....if the image tracking seems to be in the middle of the screen, then the camera wants to jam to left or right and run the image off the screen, I suggest you install the REVERSE Pan jumper on the Camera circuit board. You'll need one of those jumper like if you jumper a hard drive for MASTER, SLAVE, or CABLE SELECT. Install the jumper, then this reverses the logic on the pan servo. Assuming you have the pan servo plugged directly into the Camera circuit board. If you don't know what jumper I am talking about, look for the figure in the camera manual found here:

Page 5, you'll see the jumpers you need to install
PAN REVERSE, TILT REVERSE....
