At first, we couldn't get the camera to scan, but now we can. Also, we can't figure out what we changed in order to allow the camera to scan. Now, when we turn our robot on, "scanning..." appears for a little bit. After that, the camera will start saying that it sees the target, as if everything is green. The red light on the camera, which we noticed is on when the camera tracks, will blink randomly as the camera says it can see the target. If you put the lens cap on, the camera scans perfectly, so we know there's something wrong with what the camera is seeing. The camera is perfectly calibrated in LabVIEW, and we've done exactly what the manual says. We just don't understand what is making the camera do this.

We're all novice programmers, so we just don't know what to do. Any help at all would be absolutely amazing. Please help!

As was pointed out elsewhere, if you're using the FIRST green light, you don't need to calibrate anything. Just load the camera.hex file and it should just work.
