You do not have to change the code to track the target. You may want to calibrate the camera to make it track better, but that is well documented in the CMUCam2 Workbook at http://kevin.org/frc/
I did disconnect the link between camera and computer, but same problems.
1) when i first did it their was nothign showing up in I/O window however after reading the text files i figured out that you have to change the port values by commenting and uncommenting.
2) After i did that, some stuff started to show up in I/O window for e.g. "CR" repeating itself, so i chose to press reset button on controller and "RM" showed up and than "CR" again repeating itself.

How are you guys connecting your camera. Also, how did you guys make ur camera to show values in I/O window? It would be really helpful if someone can briefly make it clear. Thanks
